Daredevil becomes the latest Marvel series to be canceled at Netflix

Deadline

Daredevil, which kicked off the Marvel universe on Netflix in April 2015, will not return for a fourth season. The cancelation comes one month after Daredevil's third season arrived on the same day that Luke Cage was abruptly canceled, which came one week after the axing of Iron Fist. The cancelation leaves just two Marvel series on Netflix, Jessica Jones and The Punisher. “Marvel’s Daredevil will not return for a fourth season on Netflix,” Netflix said in a statement. “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 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. 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.” Last month, Oleson called the Iron Fist and Luke Cage cancelations a "hard blow." “The Marvel shows are a family," he told Indiewire. "As the showrunner of Daredevil, I’m always rooting for my fellow showrunners and their families, and it was a hard blow. I’m not going to lie...It was heartbreaking news.”
