Luke Cage Coming Back For A Second Season
Marvel and Netflix announced today Luke Cage has been renewed for a second season. As is the custom, they brought the news via a simple video clip on Twitter, this one being Luke’s home and base of operations, Pop’s Barber Shop. It’s been destroyed numerous times of course, but like Luke himself, it’s resilient. The video clip featured a light popping up saying, “Season 2 Coming Soon.”
As for when exactly this season will become available, no one knows, but you shouldn’t bet on it happening anytime soon. Because there are four Marvel Netflix shows in existence (plus The Defenders) and only two slots available per year for those shows, Netflix has to juggle them. The second season of Jessica Jones was announced shortly after the first, and it won’t truly arrive on Netflix until the year 2018. We may have to wait even longer for Luke Cage to return.
Netflix also announced today the Wachowskis’ sci-fi series Sense8 would be getting a second season, and unlike Mr. Cage, it has a specific date: May 5, 2017. But before then, there will be a Sense8 Christmas special released on December 23.
The first season of the show, with all 13 episodes, is currently streaming in full on Netflix.
Always forward. #LukeCage pic.twitter.com/4pnu52KFKr
