At least you can talk. Who are you?
Basically all these shows will be "darker" than the movies, and aspire to feel "different", buzzword buzzword buzzword. Nevertheless, I'm excited.
Maybe they interviewed him while he was doing squats?

Are you sure? There will be a Defenders mini, yeah. But that doesn't necessarily mean they'll stay one show. I can easily see Daredevil getting its own Season 2, while Jessica Jones/Luke Cage/Iron Fist could become a single show that counts as Season 2 to each character's individual journey.

Yeah that's probably how it will turn out, Daredevil gets a season 2 and the rest are consolidated into Heroes for Hire.

I've been thinking about how a Punisher series would work, since his villains are mostly dead after one or two encounters.
It'd definitely make a great conspiracy thriller show if Frank were to come across some sort of grand conspiracy and has to unravel it, forcing the shadowy bad guys to dispatch hard cases after him.
Also would be cool if they used Blackwell as an antagonist to Frank. I loved the storyline from the 90s book with Blackwell. He was a corrupt, murderous FBI agent who headed up an anti-vigilante task force. He goes nuts in his pursuit of Castle, eventually leading to Castle murdering him in full view of police and news media, which led to the Suicide Run and a crazy gauntlet battle as everyone goes out to kill him.

That's what I'm saying. That there will be a Defenders with all of the street heroes after their individual shows. Of course they could get Season 2s.
I don't know how my post could be misinterpreted.
He probably just misread your line as "they'll all be one show in the end" rather than "they'll all be in one show in the end". Lol.

So, potential Punisher series talk in here or do I make a new thread that'll be mostly ignored?

Jessica Jones is shooting now. If they get it done in time, which they should, it will be out at the end of this year. Luke Cage has a showrunner now and is in pre-production, it will shoot later this year and should be out in the first half of 2016. Iron Fist has no casting, no showrunner, nothing. It should be a 2016 show as well if it gets made in time, but right now there isn't anything to go on.
It's looking like two a year, in the late spring and late autumn. I'm expecting Luke Cage out about this time next year, and Iron Fist last 2016.

I've still been most excited for Iron Fist out of all of these. Man if they can pull it off.
You and me both, it's why I asked the question of what the time table seemed to be.
Thanks for the answers guys!

I hope we'll get a DD Season 2 next year.
They need to hurry up and get started cause I need more Daredevil asap.

Flash is a childrens show on Nickelodeon with cheap sets and bad actors compared to the cinematic quality of DD.

Good choice.
Flash isn't fantastic. Take away the spectacle and it would be getting shitted on every week for six episodes before it got cancelled. The writing is terrible and the acting is remedial, save one or two actors. Daredevil is the opposite.
And she coyly talked about
divining information and contemplating the future. She's magic.
My hopes for the line-up:
November 2015: AKA Jessica Jones
April 2016: Luke Cage
June 2016: Daredevil Season 2
October 2016: Iron Fist
December 2016: AKA Jessica Jones Season 2
March 2017: The Defenders
I'm guessing they might want to get these done with "Phase 1" by Infinity War. Don't know if they'll be involved, but might as well keep them open for that Movie crossover. I just wonder if Marvel Television has the capacity for all this rapid production, in addition to Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter, and that SHIELD spin-off their talking about.

Pipedream here but I was just thinking about Iron Fist and remembered The Raid's Gareth Evans saying that he'd be up for an Iron Fist movie if Marvel gave him the ok to make it R-rated. With the way Daredevil turned out I doubt he'd complain. Marvel should get him (+ Iko and Yayan) on board.
Link?
Maybe he can direct the first couple episodes! Like Fincher with HoC

OMG, if that happpened...
TV-MA Iron Fist from Evans...
....
Don't start getting my hopes up. Gareth Evans is one of my favorite directors.

I mean, going by The Raid 2's production, he could be done by the end of the year and free to direct Iron Fist for a late 2016 release, unless he's got something else lined up. It's not impossible, Marvel just needs to want him.

Seeing how Spiderman was described in the AoU press junket
Street-level Spidey...please Marvel?
So i just finished episode 7 of Daredevil, and just to put it out there. These series has been nothing but quality. From cast, to acting, story and writing plus action scenes to fawn over, i have not been enamored with a TV series like this for years.
So i see the end of episode 7,
and i get excited. It seems like a set-up for season 2. Then i get to finding online that Marvel is planning a Defender's mini-series for Netflix, which will act as a conclusion to the Daredevil, Luke Cake and J.Jones & Iron Fist (i might be mistaken about the Iron fist series, im just guessing).
So is marvel planning to continue Daredevil as an ongoing series like House of Cards annor Orange, or are they planning to do two season, then the other street level heroes then the defenders mini series?
Because i honestly want Daredevil to stay, like i said, i have not been blown away by a TV series for years, and it'd be a shame if Daredevil only got 2 or three seasons, since there is soooo much to work with.
So i see the end of episode 7,
stick speaking with the long haired man with the scarred back, and their conversation
