Seasons 4, 5 and 6?

So this is further support for the idea that Disney may not want to lend out many new characters to Netflix. Well, maybe not support precisely, but it fits in well with that idea.

And I'm sure many of us here would be just fine with getting a bunch more seasons of Daredevil.

That said, there are still a few characters that Netflix already has that could support a solo series.
How about Orson Randall? Not sure what the current plan is for him on IF, but theoretically you could easily get a full season-long show out of a story centered around him in the olden days.

And if they like that idea, they could easily dig into a whole long IF history.

And how about Patsy? We'll see what happens to her character going forward, but a Hellcat show could work.
 
Back to season 3 of DD, have we heard yet about the episode count? 13 or 10?

Either is fine, so long as it's good, obviously. Just wondering if we've heard.

I don't think we've heard either way but I expect 13. I suspect the only reason season two of Iron Fist has only 10 episodes was in direct reaction to the heavy criticisms the first season received.

Yes and please. I'm much more interested in that potential series than either Luke Cage or Iron Fist and I haven't read the comics for any of them.

No, it's because the old contract that restricted Marvel Netflix shows to do 13-episode seasons had expired, so they had the freedom to go shorter. Many cable and streaming shows these days have seasons of 7-10 episodes, which seems to work better for season-long serial arcs than longer seasons do. Pretty much all the Marvel Netflix shows have been criticized for being longer than they needed to be and sagging in the middle, and lots of critics have said it would be better if they had shorter seasons. IF season 2 was the first one that was free to correct that issue, and it stands to reason that it won't be the last.
 
Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm one of the few people who doesn't have a problem with the season lengths (aside from Iron Fist season one), although I'll admit Daredevil season two and Luke Cage season one have flow issues due to the length. That said, I'm for whatever length is needed to tell the stories in the best way.
 
Wow, that's saying something consider how highly regarded Jessica Jones season 1 and Daredevil season are still held. Mind you, it's just one reviewer's take on six episodes, supposedly half the season (could mean anywhere between 10-13 episodes for the season, depending which way he's rounding).
 
I think Iron Fist season 2 had a 6-episode pre-release for critics too, so it doesn't really tell us how long the season will be.
 
Most Netflix series are previewed with six episodes to critics. My estimate was based on what that one critic said in one of his tweets ("half the eps").

As you said, that could be rounded either way. And critics aren't infallible; maybe he was just guessing or assuming. We'll see when we see.

I never had a problem with Season 1 of "Luke Cage". In a way, its narrative set up reminded me of how Mutant Enemy handled "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Superficially, it seemed there were two separate story arcs for each season, but both halves have a strong connection.

I had a little problem with the first seasons of both "Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones". The pacing for the first seasons of both shows were in danger of sagging in the middle. Especially "Jessica Jones", which seemed to be coming up with convoluted ways to delay Jessica's final confrontation with Kilgrave.

I'm still watching Season One of "Iron Fist", which I am enjoying, so I do not have a solid opinion on it. At least not yet.

Season 2 of "Daredevil" was a real problem for me. I had no problem with the introductions of Elektra Natchios and Frank Castle. But for me, the problem was that the season featured two distinct story arcs that barely had any connection whatsoever, aside from Matt Murdock's activities with Elektra affecting his relationship with Foggy and Karen, along with Frank's case. It did not help that more than ever, Matt came off as a self-righteous prig. If it were not for Elodie Yung and Jon Bernthal, I would have considered the second season of "Daredevil" to be a complete waste of time.
 
A longer teaser but still not quite a proper trailer.

The white suit looks quite snazzy on Vincent D'Onofrio.
 
Looking forward to this. Unlike my friends I started with Daredevil and for me it's the only series I want to continue watching while they watched Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist but had little interest in Daredevil. I guess Daredevil screams Superhero too much? Or bad memories of the Affleck movie?
 
Huh, that is odd. Most people regard Daredevil the highest (aside from the first season of Jessica Jones), not the other way around. Especially in comparison to Iron Fist.

So he's ditching his costume, but still going back to the same generic black bandana look that everyone already associated with him?

Jessica Jones is still the best show for me, period. Though DD does have the advantage of D'Onofrio in an ongoing role.

I can see the narrative logic of it. The Daredevil costume was the garb of a superhero, a symbol of something nobler. The earlier black outfit was just the attire of a vigilante addicted to the fight. So it symbolizes that he's reverting to something darker and less heroic.

Which wouldn't be so bad if we hadn't just seen Jessica Jones, Trish Walker, Luke Cage, and Danny Rand all go on similar antiheroic/deconstructive journeys this year. Further proof that Misty Knight and Colleen Wing are the greatest heroes of the Netflix MCU.

I get the symbolism, it just seems odd to wear any outfit that's practically begging for rumors to start spreading about the return of the Devil of Hell's Kitchen. His friends all think he's dead and he apparently wants them to keep thinking that, so it would seem more appropriate to pick something totally unlike what he wore in the past.

From the looks of the teaser it takes on a very "devil may care" attitude on the part of Matt (pun intended).
