In a move that we didn’t see coming and I personally and so NOT here for, Netflix has pulled the plug on one of the fan fave series, Marvel’s ‘Luke Cage‘ ahead of reported plans for it’s third season.

The series becomes the second from the Marvel franchise to get the cut, following the cancellation of their other hit series ‘Iron Fist’ which also was let go from the streaming service just days ago according to The Hollywood Reporter:

The cancellation comes seven days after the streaming service pulled the plug on Iron Fist, also after two seasons. Both shows were part of the original quintet of Marvel shows Netflix ordered in 2013. The first of the five to premiere, Daredevil, launched its third season on Friday.

“Unfortunately, Marvel’s Luke Cage will not return for a third season,” Netflix and Marvel said in a joint statement. “Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is grateful to the dedicated showrunner, writers, cast and crew who brought Harlem’s Hero to life for the past two seasons, and to all the fans who have supported the series.”

A source tells The Hollywood Reporter the cancellation was due to creative differences and the inability to agree to terms for a third season of the show. Netflix doesn’t release viewership figures for its content.

Cheo Hodari Coker created Luke Cage and served as its showrunner. Mike Colter played the title character.

Fans who are heartbroken by the news may be pleased to know that all of Marvel’s shows will soon be leaving the platform as they make their way to their reported new home.

Marvel’s parent company, Disney, is preparing to launch its own direct-to-consumer streaming service and is planning to remove all Marvel feature films from Netflix to run on the in-house platform when it launches. Among the Marvel movies currently on Netflix are Black Panther, Thor: Ragnarok and Doctor Strange.

Daredevil, Jessica Jones and The Punisher, however, are set to remain on Netflix for the time being under terms of the original deal.

Hopefully with the new service in the works, “Luke” will get a second chance.
