Like their fellow defenders before them, The Punisher and Jessica Jones have been canceled. Netflix has officially announced on President’s Day that the remaining two shows have been canceled and will not be renewed. The Marvel Netflix deal is officially over.
The Punisher star Jon Berthal took to Instagram to say thank his fans, members of the Armed Services, and Law Enforcement that watched the show.
Jeph Loeb, Executive Vice President of Marvel Television, posted a blog on Marvel’s official website and praising the shows and thanking fans for an a unprecedented 13 season run.
It had never been done before.
Four separate television series, each with different super-talented showrunners, writers, directors, cast and crew, coming out months apart and then…
…they would meet in a single event series all set in the heart of New York City.
We called them The Defenders.
They said it couldn’t be done.
But Marvel assembled amazing teams to write, produce, direct, edit, and score 13 seasons and 148 one-hour episodes.
Take a moment and go online and look at the dazzling list of actors, writers, directors, and musicians who graced us with the very best of their craft.
We loved each and every minute of it.
And we did it all for you — the fans — who cheered for us around the world and made all the hard work worth it.
So, Thank You!
On behalf of everyone at Marvel Television, we couldn’t be more proud or more grateful to our audience.
Our Network partner may have decided they no longer want to continue telling the tales of these great characters… but you know Marvel better than that.
As Matthew Murdock’s Dad once said, “The measure of a man is not how he gets knocked to the mat, it’s how he gets back up.”
To be continued…!
– Jeph Loeb and all of us at Marvel Television
There you have it, no more Marvel Netflix shows. Jessica Jones season 3 is still on tap to be released but then that is it. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think we will see these characters again? And what do you think Jeph Loeb means by “To be continued…?” Let us know your thoughts to these questions or anything else by commenting below.
