Featuring Mike Colter as Luke Cage, with Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple (a.k.a. the "Night Nurse"), Simone Missick as Misty Knight, Alfre Woodard as Mariah Dillard, and Mahershala Ali as Cottonmouth Stokes. Also: OLTL's own Frankie Faison, the great character actor best known for everything from Silence of the Lambs to The Wire.

 

I really love the news that the show will also feature live musical acts during episodes - reminds me of New York Undercover.

It's very worth watching.

 

Shocking because it was all but assumed renewed, and was in pre-production on Season 3. According to the trades its cancellation is part of the power struggle creatively between Netflix and Marvel, which is soon launching a new streaming service - Netflix wanted changes, some other party didn't budge. I know the Marvel Comics creative group - not connected to the Marvel movie group, and spearheaded by the comics wing and possibly Ike Perlmutter - was heavily involved with that. Netflix also does not own the shows outright, which was an expensive sticking point when filming in NYC.

 

I'd hope Marvel will choose to relaunch it on their service.

Someone said that this may have to do with Disney's plans to launch their own streaming service.

 

The second season was a bit disappointing to me but I still thought it merited a third season, so I wouldn't be surprised if a Luke Cage series is re-launched on a new Disney streaming service.  

 

Iron Fist and Luke Cage are both canceled, will Jessica Jones be next?

I personally suspect it may have to do with the Marvel TV creative group, as I mentioned. They are made up of several head creatives from the comics line plus the infamous Ike Perlmutter, and they used to attempt to micromanage the MCU films before Kevin Feige demanded the film line be divested from the creative group and Perlmutter entirely. They were known to be difficult to deal with.

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.
