Marvel Studios may be planning more MCU for the small screen

Good question. I don't think they've even released a trailer for House of Cards yet and its third season premieres on February 27.
 
And they just released the first teaser trailer for Marco Polo a month ago, and the main trailer 3 weeks ago. So I guess it'll be quite a while before we see a trailer for DD.

That article calls Affleck's DD "a bomb", except it wasn't, not financially. Underperformer, maybe but it was not a bomb on it's $78m budget making $180m WW. There was talk of a sequel but Affleck didn't want to do it if I recall correctly.

Mike Colter has been cast as Luke Cage.
 
Not only did Affleck not want to do it, he didn't want near a comic book character again. The reason was, regardless of finances, people hated it, which was probably really disappointing to Affleck, who is actually a big Daredevil fan.
 
I actually liked Daredevil. It wasn't perfect, but it was enjoyable to me, even the non Director's Cut version (although the DC was a bit better). Honestly, the only big thing I didn't like was Bullseye, who just wasn't right. Besides that, I thought it was decent. It could have been better, sure, but I liked what we got, and I think Affleck did a good job as Daredevil.
 
Daredevil release date announced, it's coming a month earlier than I expected!

Wait a minute... The part of Manhattan that image is focusing on is nowhere near Hell's Kitchen. It seems to be much more to the southeast, maybe around Greenwich Village or something?

Then again, Hell's Kitchen is an upscale neighborhood these days, better known as Clinton, so Daredevil's dark-and-gritty portrayal of it doesn't really work anymore anyway. Maybe the show isn't so localized. (Although I still think they could justify it being more run-down in the MCU due to damage sustained in the Chitauri invasion and an economic downturn in its aftermath.)

I think you are putting too much literal thought into that image.

A month earlier than I thought as well. May had been kicked around. I'm very eager for this!! Does AoS run straight through, not skipping any weeks, when it returns in March? If not maybe DD debuts in a skip week(s)? Allowing all die hard parties to digest it then AoS returns, AoU hits theaters----aaahhhhhh!!

Agent Carter, Agents of Shield, Daredevil, Age of Ultron, Ant-Man--so much packed into 7 months that's just Marvel Studios!! Comic Con hits where I bet we will get CA:Civil War footage and then AoS returns for S3 to wrap up 2015!! The follow-up Netflix series AKA Jessica Jones, is that slated for a Fall/Winter '15 debut?? I haven't heard that I can recall.

It pretty much has to. If it skips more than a week or two, it won't finish until June.

I wouldn't be shocked if Alias shows up before the fall tv season. It may be late summer, perhaps just after Ant-Man hits.
 
The latest word, disappointingly, is that the Netflix series are expected to come out roughly a year apart. Which means we wouldn't see the Defenders crossover until 2019.
Well, um, crap! What does this likely mean in terms of deciding a second season on any of them? Not getting a second season of DD till 2020 just seems like a bad strategy.

Intersplice a S2 into say the same year Luke Cage debuts(2017?). Jessica Jones S2 the year of Iron Fist(2018) and so forth??

A bit puzzled at the strategy involved here unless these were always, from the start, intended to be one and done singular mini-series.

The folks at Netflix seem to think that all of the shows are eligible for renewal...

The announcement of "Daredevil," "Jessica Jones," "Luke Cage" and "Iron Fist" that would culminate in a "Defenders" season seems to emulate the framework of Marvel's movies, and Sarandos says that fans can expect the same sort of sequel structure when it comes to those shows' second seasons. "They're all eligible to go into multiple seasons for sure, and contemplate that they will," he says.
 
Given the time table for Daredevil's production, I thought it might be the case, but, who knows. It does make some sense for Defenders to be some time around Infinity War.
 
Yeah, I am a little disappointed that they're spacing them out so far. I wonder if they'll do that for every season of each one. I know some shows on some of the cable channels have gone years between seasons, but it would suck to have to wait three or four years between each season on a regular basis.
