"Daredevil" Canceled by Netflix after 3 Seasons; Future in Other Marvel Projects

The ax continues to fall on Marvel’s series at Netflix. "Daredevil", which launched the Marvel universe on the streaming platform, has been canceled after three seasons.

The move comes on the heels of Netflix canceling "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage" last month – but "Daredevil" seems to have an afterlife elsewhere.

“Marvel’s Daredevil will not return for a fourth season on Netflix,” the streamer said in a statement tonight to Deadline. “We are tremendously proud of the show’s last and final season and although it’s painful for the fans, we feel it best to close this chapter on a high note.”

“We’re thankful to our partners at Marvel showrunner Erik Oleson, the show’s writers, stellar crew and incredible cast including Charlie Cox as Daredevil himself, and we’re grateful to the fans who have supported the show over the years.”

However, unlike "Iron Fist" or "Luke Cage", the door seems to be wide open for the blind protector of NYC’s Hell’s Kitchen, perhaps on the upcoming Disney+ streaming platform.

“While the series on Netflix has ended, the three existing seasons will remain on the service for years to come, while the Daredevil character will live on in future projects for Marvel,” Netflix said also.

While "The Defenders" was never intended to return beyond its 2017 miniseries run and with "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage" dropped, the cancellation of "Daredevil" so soon after its highly anticipated and acclaimed third season was released, now leaves only two Marvel series on Netflix, "Jessica Jones" and "The Punisher".

Whether those “future projects” means Cox’s Daredevil makes an appearance with his Defenders colleague or the Jon Bernthal led vigilante series remains to be seen.

A Daredevil series on the planned Disney streaming platform or another movie could be an option too, though that the latter seems unlikely, we hear.

Marvel promises it isn't done with Daredevil, despite Netflix's cancelation

"We look forward to more adventures with the Man without Fear in the future," Marvel said in a statement this morning in response to Netflix's cancelation last night. That echoed similar comments made by Netflix in its announcement that "the Daredevil character will live on in future projects for Marvel." The Daredevil Twitter account posted shortly after the cancelation announcement that "Justice Never Stops." As Deadline's Dominic Patten explains, Marvel's comment "raises eyebrows that perhaps after three seasons on the streamer, the Charlie Cox portrayed character could show up on the upcoming second season of The Punisher on Netflix or maybe in the next season of Jessica Jones. The former makes more sense as the ruthless Jon Bernthal played vigilante was a big part of Daredevil Season 2 back in 2016." He adds: "Of course, the remarks by both Marvel and Netflix could also mean that this current Daredevil or a variation of the Matt Murdock character could show up on the already Marvel heavy Disney+ streaming service that the House of Mouse is rolling out next year.

Charlie Cox Breaks Silence on "Daredevil" Cancellation – “I’m Very Saddened”
by Denise Petski
December 7, 2018

Charlie Cox has finally spoken out on Netflix’s surprise cancellation of "Daredevil".

Cox tells EW he was caught off guard by the show’s abrupt end. “A lot of us really expected to keep going, and I certainly did,” he tells EW. “The truth is, I felt like we had a lot of stories to tell, and although I understand [the cancellation], I’m very saddened by that.”

He calls his portrayal of blind superhero Matt Murdock his “dream job.” Cox said it’s strange to think he would never play the character again. He wouldn’t speculate on any potential arcs beyond the Season 3 finale, but would he be up for playing the character again?

“Oh my God, yeah,” he says. “I don’t know how this would happen, but maybe one day we could pick up the baton and do it again.”
