The Defenders Season 1 is currently available to stream on Netflix, and The Punisher premieres later in 2017.
The Defenders showrunner explains why the series only ran for eight episodes.

During a recent interview with Collider, Defenders showrunner Marco Ramirez explained the reasoning behind only doing eight episodes of the big team-up event.
