Marvel To Launch Four New Series On Netflix

Quote:

The Walt Disney Co. and Netflix Inc. today announced an unprecedented deal for Marvel TV to bring multiple original series of live-action adventures of four of Marvel's most popular characters exclusively to the world's leading Internet TV Network beginning in 2015. This pioneering agreement calls for Marvel to develop four serialized programs leading to a miniseries programming event.

Led by a series focused on "Daredevil," followed by "Jessica Jones," "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage," the epic will unfold over multiple years of original programming, taking Netflix members deep into the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell's Kitchen, New York. Netflix has committed to a minimum of four, thirteen episodes series and a culminating Marvel's "The Defenders" mini-series event that reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.

Produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Television Studios, this groundbreaking deal is Marvel's most ambitious foray yet into live-action TV storytelling.

Just cancel Agents of S.H.I.T now please. Nothing they do on the tame ABC network is going to top what 'Flix is capable of allowing

It'll be interesting to see how they translate "Alias" to the little-big-screen. Will it be rated the same way as the comic? Will she still have her original origin story?

Either way, I'm excited to find out.

Very exciting news especially Daredevil. I wonder what type of content restrictions there will be - I know Netflix doesn't have any but I can't see Marvel getting too dark.

This sounds excellent! Totally agree, do away with A.O.S and do this properly. Really looking forward to seeing Iron Fist and Daredevil. It doesn't need to be too dark but more of a '12-15' rated feel would perhaps give fans the connection they're looking for that AOS seems to be missing.

I echo the comments regarding Daredevil. I too am a big fan of his.

This is very good news regarding Daredevil:

Drew Goddard is in final negotiations to write and serve as showrunner on the new take on the Marvel Comics hero.

Man, I can't stand Sheeple who jump on the "That new show SUCKS!" bandwagon....

I have zero interest in any of these new shows.

Also, I had no interest in movies about Iron Man, Thor, or the Hulk.

So, I will be reluctantly watching all of these new shows, on the off chance that they may impact Captain America.

I'm no sheep sister, I formed a fair critical opinion of the show steadily over the course of it's run and came to the conclusion it was a waste of time, like a watered down version of Torchwood that took far too long to start going anywhere. Even worse is I get Team Knight Rider vibes from it. It's a very dated, cliched kind of show that belongs cheifly in the 90s.

But of course, daring to say a Marvel show sucks brings out all the oversensetive brand loyalist drones like yourself, who probably know what you're watching is crap but won't admit it to yourselves because Marvel make a lot of good movies.

This is cool! Another reason I'm glad I've got Netflix

Any word on these being in the MCU?

Either way, they sound cool. I loved Daredevil and Luke Cage. Wonder how this will affect the still forming Daredevil movie.

Lately it seems anything new (Turtles, SHIELD, others) draws your ire. I never really said if I liked it or not. I think it's just "okay." The scale seems a little too small for the universe it's based in, but then again though I may think that, that's kinda the point. I'm still watching primarily to see what the deal is with Coulson and Tahiti ("It's a magical place..."). As far as other Marvel goes, can't stand the animated show they are running now....so nope not a "brand loyalist", just sick of all the negativity.

Marvel's Netflix Drama 'Daredevil' Taps New Showrunner (Exclusive)
11:44 AM PDT 5/24/2014 by Lesley Goldberg

Fellow "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" alum Steven S. DeKnight will take over the reins of the drama, while Drew Goddard will segue to Sony feature "Sinister Six."

Drew Goddard will hand overshowrunning duties to Steven S. DeKnight, who is finalizing a deal to board the series, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Buffy and Lost alum Goddard will segue to writing and directing Sony's Spider-Man spinoff Sinister Six, which will focus on the villains from that universe. He'll remain withDaredevil and serve as a consultant on the drama.

Marvel could not be reached for comment.

For his part, DeKnight served as showrunner on three seasons of Starz's Spartacus,and wrapped the series in 2013. His credits include working with Goddard on Joss Whedon's Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer well as Whedon's Dollhouse and The CW's Smallville. He's repped by CAA.

Netflix picked up Daredevil -- as well as Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage as well as miniseriesThe Defenders -- in a massive pact with Marvel. Daredevil is first out of the gate with 13 episodes.
