In a move that EVERYONE knew was coming.. Netflix has officially pulled the plug on the last two marvel shows they had.
The streaming service has officially canceled The Punisher and Jessica Jones. This comes just a month after The Punisher season 2 debuted and the debut of Jessica Jones season 3, which is set for sometime later this year.
This move, of course, is due to the upcoming launch of Disney’s streaming service, Disney+, later this year. At that time, Disney will be producing other Marvel shows, more closely tied to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, for the service and thereby taking a bit more of an active role in connecting the TV side of things to the movie side of things.
Netflix did release a few statements on the cancellations
“Marvel’s The Punisher will not return for a third season on Netflix. Showrunner Steve Lightfoot, the terrific crew, and exceptional cast including star Jon Bernthal, delivered an acclaimed and compelling series for fans, and we are proud to showcase their work on Netflix for years to come.”
“In addition, in reviewing our Marvel programming, we have decided that the upcoming third season will also be the final season for Marvel’s Jessica Jones. We are grateful to showrunner Melissa Rosenberg, star Krysten Ritter and the entire cast and crew, for three incredible seasons of this groundbreaking series, which was recognized by the Peabody Awards among many others. We are grateful to Marvel for five years of our fruitful partnership and thank the passionate fans who have followed these series from the beginning.”
