Even after the streaming service announced the cancellation of Iron fist, Luke Cage seemed to be immune from having the ax too. Although the series of superheroes led by Mike Colter has never generated so much buzz Daredevil and Jessica JonesIt was well received by a large number of viewers and the showrunner actually used the negative reviews of Season 1 to try to improve Season 2.

The same thing has not happened yet for Luke Cagebut that does not mean that it's out of the question. There are big plans in place for Marvel broadcasts on the streaming service.
