The show has since been followed by season 1 of Jessica Jones, season 2 of Daredevil, and season 1 of Luke Cage.
The Defenders will unite the stars — and much of the supporting casts — from the preceding Marvel Netflix series, including Matt Murdock aka Daredevil, Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Danny Rand aka Iron Fist (Finn Jones).
Since filming on The Defenders began in late October, a number of the characters have been spotted on set — first of which was Ritter as Jessica Jones.
In 2017, Netflix will ramp up its Marvel offerings, debuting three series in a year for the first time: Iron Fist, the team-up miniseries The Defenders, and the first season of Daredevil spinoff, The Punisher.
