Luke Cage, like his pal Iron Fist, really is a hero for hire, as the series no longer has a home at Netflix. The streaming company canceled their second Marvel series in as many weeks for reasons that don’t feel quite as clear as the motive behind Iron Fist’s cancellation.
“Unfortunately, Marvel’s Luke Cage will not return for a third season,” Marvel and Netflix told Deadline in a joint statement. “Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is grateful to the dedicated showrunner, writers, cast and crew who brought Harlem’s Hero to life for the past two seasons, and to all the fans who have supported the series.”

So, heroes for hire then?

No. Not on Netflix anyway. Its already been stated there will be no “new” marvel shows on Netflix.

That’s surprising actually.

This has me worried that we won’t get Daredevil Season 4, which is already confirmed as happening. But now with these cancels taking place I’m nervous.

Tbh, S1 was even worse than Iron Fist, so I’m not surprised.
-
Iron fist and Luke Cage got cancelled because they took place after the snap..

This makes no sense

Financially it does make sense. Marvel wants these characters for their own streaming services. As well, Netflix has to pay marvel a lot of money to use their characters. Netflix will probably start focusing on lesser known comic characters that they don’t have to pay so much for.
