The third season of Daredevil landed back on October 19th, 2018 and Netflix has now confirmed that the series has been canceled, which follows the recent cancelations of Luke Cage and Iron Fist. The move leaves us with the in-production third season of Jessica Jones and the second season of Punisher. The move has been largely expected after the initial cancelations and with Disney ramping up its Disney+ streaming service for launch next year. Complicating things between Netflix and Marvel TV was the desire by Netflix for shorter seasons than the thirteen episodes they were doing and the changing nature of what Netflix is involved in as they’re shepherding more original works now than when the deal was developed back in 2013 – and combined with filming in the expensive city of New York City.
At this point, it’s pretty much a given that the other two series will wrap up with their next season and we’ll be spending our time wondering what Disney+ and Marvel Studios will do with the characters since they do have fans and are part of the strong run of characters that exist on the ground level side that’s ideal for what the Disney+ service is.
Plot concept: Just when Matt thinks he is bringing order back to the city, new forces are rising in Hell’s Kitchen. Now the Man Without Fear must take on a new adversary in Frank Castle and face an old flame – Elektra Natchios.
Bigger problems emerge when Frank Castle, a man looking for vengeance, is reborn as The Punisher, a man who takes justice into his own hands in Matt’s neighborhood. Meanwhile, Matt must balance his duty to his community as a lawyer and his dangerous life as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, facing a life-altering choice that forces him to truly understand what it means to be a hero.
