[Succinct Verbosity]

The best new show. Yes I'm serious.

 

[gdt]

Losing DeKnight is no good....

 

[nigDASTARDLY]

Yes!!!

Fix the suit and don't repeat the fighting in the last episode and we're good to go!

 

[Penguin]

I'm curious how this works for... well the larger idea of these shows with The Defenders.

Does it push it back... or does it just Iron Man 2 it

 

[Toa TAK]

hope it doesnt go in the same route/campiness as those last 20 Arrow-ass minutes of the last ep and go back to what was good

rest of the show was super good

Yeah this is my concern, too.

But for a show I didn't care much for, I'm so glad it came out to be so great.

 

[kirblar]

I wonder if this will come before Defenders.

Very likely, that's still about 2 years out.

Wouldn't be surprised to see DeKnight eventually head that one up too.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Good. Does this mean it might come next year then?

Fix that ugly ass suit hopefully

Worst suit in the business currently.

Give the guy a break he's blind.

 

[BronsonLee]

Netflix confirmed to not be blind about ratings
No DeKnight though, hrm..probably because of 2016 date though. LET'S DO THIS

And needs more Fisk

 

[The Illiterati]

Yeah I wonder if this will come before or after the Defenders miniseries.

Defenders won't be until 2017, so before. There's no way they're waiting.

 

[Sheroking]

DeKnight walked? Yeesh.

At least another Son of Whedon will be running it.

 

[torre_avenue]

I'm hoping Goddard comes back for some season 2 episodes, despite the bad breakup he had with Marvel. I personally thought episode 2 was one of the best of the show, and I really hope more episodes like that show up in Season 2 next year. Also, I really really hope they introduce the classic DD suit next season and let Matt wear it for more than 10 minutes.

Also, 2016 seems really early for this. I figured a Daredevil season 2, would be a part of a street-level Phase 2, beginning after the Defenders (so 2017-ish?), along with a Heroes for Hire show, Punisher, and Moon Knight.

 

[Bloodrage]

Won't watch unless they get a new suit.

 

[BrokenFiction]

I'm cool with new showrunners. The quality will still be there.

 

[Thorakai]

cool

 

[Ithil]

The only thing iffy about the suit is the front of the cowl.

 

[Prompto]

Cool. Just finished Season 1 today and it was pretty great.

 

[StoopKid]

We could maybe get all four next year.

[George Oscar Bluth II]

The suit is still a WIP, peeps. Don't worry.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

SHOCKING NEWS?

Hoping it won't decline after the inevitable teamup with the other netflix shows. Although the final episode wasn't particularly strong as it was.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Much better than nearly all of their generic movies. Had some fun with this.

 

[Santiako]

Fuck yeah, the first season is probably the best MCU content but I hope they find a reason to ditch the costume and go back to man in a black mask

 

[Shaanyboi]

Fuck yeah

 

[Admiral Woofington]

The only thing iffy about the suit is the front of the cowl.

it's just very blocky and wide. They should honestly just make it tighter fitting and maybe fix the horns. Regardless enough complaints have been made they'd be crazy NOT to change the mask.

 

[Van Owen]

The open neck area on the suit looks bad.

 

[plantedunicorn]

Can't believe I'm saying this but design wise Ben Affleck's suit looks way better than the new suit. The new one just looks like shit. It's probably not the final one but as soon as I saw it, I instantly hoped he switched back to the black shirt and pants.

 

[ZeroX03]

Fuck yes. Take that other superhero shows that are struggling. lol

...Agent Carter? Maybe Agents of SHIELD but that's looking like a renewal.

 

[BronsonLee]

DeKnight walked? Yeesh.

At least another Son of Whedon will be running it.

Likely because of the quick turnaround.

SHOCKING NEWS?

The speed of announcing it, maybe. Daredevil hit BIG.

 

[Ithil]

“While previous commitments unfortunately prevent me from continuing on with Daredevil into its second season,” DeKnight explains, “I could not be happier that Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez are carrying the torch. They were invaluable collaborators during our first season, and I for one can’t wait to see what they do with the show moving forward.”

So it sounds like Netflix didn't expect to be moving right ahead with a season 2, so DeKnight was already committed to working on another show.

 

[mclem]

I'm losing track here - is this in an existing TV or movie 'verse, or is it its own?

 

[The Outsider]

Fuck yes.

DeKnight not being involved really sucks though.

 

[Tucah]

Yeah I wonder if this will come before or after the Defenders miniseries.

EW article says 2016, so almost certainly before.

 

[Jaeger]

Losing DeKnight is no good....

Not really.

...writers Doug Petrie (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Marco Ramirez (Sons of Anarchy)—who worked closely with DeKnight and creator Drew Goddard in the first season—will both serve as the showrunners for season two.

 

[JesseZao]

Good to hear. They have a new flagship show after S3 HoC was disappointing.

 

[Alavard]

Okay, so we're up to 3 shows on ABC, 2 or 3 movies a year and constant shows on Netflix until the end of time.

And I'm fine with this.

 

[Toa TAK]

...Agent Carter? Maybe Agents of SHIELD but that's looking like a renewal.

I want Agent Carter back.

 

[Anung]

Really well deserved. Captured the character perfectly and the show was some great ass television. I couldn't wait till after The Defenders to get another season as they have so much good Daredevil stuff to adapt.

Fantastic!

 

[dEvAnGeL]

dude probably gonna need a wig for season 3 or 4, he balding fast, heck of an actor tho, love the show, happy about the news

 

[BrokenFiction]

I know Netflix doesn't release ratings, but damn I'm curious about this one. They certainly have the money to make anything they want.

 

[Ithil]

I'm losing track here - is this in an existing TV or movie 'verse, or is it its own?

This is part of the MCU.

 

[Frog-fu]

That's the clearest image yet of the suit.

Cowl needs a redesign ASAP.

 

[Sheroking]

Maybe DeKnight is on Defenders and that's why he won't have time to be on Daredevil Season 2?

 

[BlastProcessing]

Here's an Entertainment Weekly link.

Daredevil will return! Marvel’s acclaimed superhero drama just received a second season order on Netflix.

But there’s a twist: EW can exclusively report that showrunner Steven S. DeKnight (Spartacus) is stepping down from the series. Instead, writers Doug Petrie (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Marco Ramirez (Sons of Anarchy)—who worked closely with DeKnight and creator Drew Goddard in the first season—will both serve as the showrunners for season two.

The next edition of Daredevil will debut in 2016 as Netflix gets ready to release several other Marvel dramas: A.K.A. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist.

 

[RPGCrazied]

So, I'm guessing then Fisk is going to

Spoiler

break out of jail

? Hopefully we get a new villain though for the 2nd season.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Fucking yes! Oh my word this is such good news. Next year as well? I'm pleased as punch.

 

[broncobuster]

Very happy season 2 is sooner than later.

 

[BronsonLee]

No idea why it took this long. I expected a renewal within the first few hours.

They expected people to be cool with waiting, I think. They were wrong.

I'm losing track here - is this in an existing TV or movie 'verse, or is it its own?

MCU.

 

[MadLaughter]

Really bummed that DeKnight is not helming it. I can only hope that they want him to run Iron Fist.

 

[Anung]

Here's an Entertainment Weekly link.

Wow, kind of a hype killer right there.

 

[Can Crusher]

Yep, that suit was full on cringe mode the moment it showed up.

 

[TVexperto]

new showrunners is never a good sign
