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.

    • Yeah I’m confused how wearing baggier clothing wouldn’t just make him even smaller. I have no problem with his fashion at all. He’s a well put together man.
    • The problem is that foyer doesn't look like it has ANY connection to that garbage glitter trash living room at Bill and Hayley's. I have to disagree strongly with both of you on Andre's wardrobe. I like it -- a lot. I don't think anything about it is dated, but that he looks like a guy who cares about fashion. Andre is a short king, but I don't want to see him lost in baggy clothes or chunky sweaters.

    • I have this nagging feeling we think of different ones as the best! Care to fulfill my curiosity? Which are you thinking of? 
    • the famous babyswitch. the best babyswitch imo
    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
