That means Netflix has a full slate of projects headed its way from the MCU, but it won’t stop there. The service has new seasons of both Daredevil and Jessica Jones coming soon, and it will also welcome perhaps the grittiest of all the heroes to the neighborhood when The Punisher gets his own solo series.
Given the response from the character’s debut in Daredevil season 2, the series has been on the fast track, going from speculation to confirmation in a remarkably short amount of time. And if a new batch of set photos are any indication, it seems that production on the series has officially gotten underway in New York.

This will be dependent if they keep The Daredevil cast on their streaming network giving cohesion to Castle's narratives.
Netflix they're the ones that don't feel it's good for their business to hold on and start new seasons. Disney is ready to pull all their shit so Netflix feels it isn't worth trying to go forward with them. Once Daredevil got cancelled I knew it was over. Now have to hope Hulu jumps in cause Disney+ likely won't have these shows. [Reply]

They paid $100 million just for a year of friends for crissakes.
Well I just read that Disney is removing all of their movies once the service starts for Disney+ so it sounds like Netflix has no reason to continue to try to work with them. Sucks. [Reply]
@Collider: That's all, folks! Netflix has cancelled 'The Punisher' and 'Jessica Jones', bringing an official end to the Marvel Netflix TV Universe. http://bit.ly/2Ivxbea

how in the hell is anyone going to pick it up? Disney ain’t giving out rights to anything they own. They want to broadcast their own stuff. Keep the whole pie for themselves. Maybe they pick it up but that’s the only way. [Reply]
Maybe there is hope? Hulu is the logical choice to get these shows with Disney's 60% ownership and they would have freedom to do what Netflix did [Reply]
I knew it was coming and it is still depressing. Just as they get the character developed to the place we all want to see him the plug gets pulled. Fuck everyone responsible. [Reply]

Exactly. I figure there isn't much time before the Marvel shows other places get canned. Figure Disney is asking some outrageous numbers for the licensing. [Reply]

What I read is that Punisher is free to being used right now on other platforms. Netflix has a 2 year 'freeze' period on the rest of the shows before Disney/marvel can use them or the characters. Also Netflix owns the current episode catalog for all their marvel shows. Disney would have to pony up. Which possibly means they could use these characters on a new show on Hulu/plus if they wanted after 2 years but sounding hard to renew those shows individually without having the previous seasons.

Why would they go to Hulu when they are coming out with their own streaming service by then? [Reply]

I was pumped for season 2 but once Disney/Marvel announced they were cutting ties with Netflix there was no point in watching.
Even if it was the greatest show on Netflix it's over and Disney won't be picking it up on their streaming service. Why bother?... [Reply]
