Season Synopses

Season One

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.

Season Two

After clearing his name, Luke Cage has become a celebrity on the streets of Harlem with a reputation as bulletproof as his skin. But being so visible has only increased his need to protect the community and find the limits of who he can and can’t save. With the rise of a formidable new foe, Luke is forced to confront the fine line that separates a hero from a villain.

Production

  • On May 2013, the rights to the character Luke Cage were reverted from Sony Pictures Studios back to Marvel Studios.[2]
  • On November 2013, Marvel announced a joint project with Netflix to bring a 13-episode series featuring Luke Cage to television.[3]
  • On March 2015, Netflix and Marvel Television announced Cheo Hodari Coker as executive producer and showrunner for the series.[4]

  • The production of the series started in July 2015.[6]
  • On October 19, 2018, Netflix canceled Luke Cage after two seasons.
  • In February 2019, Jeph Loeb wrote a letter to the fans of the cancelled Marvel Netflix shows: It had never been done before. Four separate television series, each with different super-talented showrunners, writers, directors, cast and crew, coming out months apart and then… …they would meet in a single event series all set in the heart of New York City. We called them The Defenders. And together we were thrilled by stories of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and even the Punisher joined in! They said it couldn’t be done. But Marvel assembled amazing teams to write, produce, direct, edit, and score 13 seasons and 161 one-hour episodes. Take a moment and go online and look at the dazzling list of actors, writers, directors, and musicians who graced us with the very best of their craft. We loved each and every minute of it. And we did it all for you — the fans — who cheered for us around the world and made all the hard work worth it. So, Thank You! On behalf of everyone at Marvel Television, we couldn’t be more proud or more grateful to our audience. Our Network partner may have decided they no longer want to continue telling the tales of these great characters… but you know Marvel better than that. As Matthew Murdock’s Dad once said, "The measure of a man is not how he gets knocked to the mat, it’s how he gets back up." To be continued…!
