Marvel’s Luke Cage renewed for Season Two!
Marvel Entertainment announced this morning that their latest Netflix series, Marvel’s Luke Cage, has been renewed for a second season! Check out the announcement video below.
Mike Colter leads the cast as the title hero in the series, joined by Simone Missick as Misty Knight, Frank Whaley as Rafael Scarfe, Mahershala Ali as Cottonmouth, Theo Rossi as Shades, Alfre Woodard as Mariah Dillard, and the return of Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple. Colter and Missick are currently filming the Marvel’s The Defenders, the culminating event that combines all four heroes’ shows together.
After a sabotaged experiment leaves him with super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive trying to rebuild his life in modern day Harlem, New York City. But he is soon pulled out of the shadows and must fight a battle for the heart of his city–forcing him to confront a past he had tried to bury.
Cheo Hodari Coker (Notorious, “NCIS: Los Angeles”) served as executive producer and showrunner for the first season Marvel’s Luke Cage.
Created by Archie Goodwin and John Romita, Sr., Luke Cage is one of the most popular street level heroes in the Marvel Universe who possesses superhuman strength and impenetrable skin. He’s also a friend and frequent business partner with Danny Rand aka Iron Fist, who will also be getting his own series on Netflix starring Finn Jones as the title hero.
Always forward. #LukeCage pic.twitter.com/4pnu52KFKr
