In the years since Daredevil debuted on Netflix, the streaming service has been growing and building its roster of street-level New York heroes – adding Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, The Punisher, and the immortal Iron Fist, aka Danny Rand. But that expansion isn't continuing unabated, with news that Iron Fist won't be back for another set of episodes. In a statement released to Deadline, a joint statement from Netflix and Marvel confirmed that Iron Fist won’t get a Season 3, despite a warmer reception to the recently-released second season.
“Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is proud of the series and grateful for all of the hard work from our incredible cast, crew and show runners,” the statement reads. “We’re thankful to the fans who have watched these two seasons, and for the partnership we’ve shared on this series. While the series on Netflix has ended, the immortal Iron Fist will live on.”
Finn Jones made his debut as Danny Rand in the first season of Iron Fist, which hit Netflix in March 2017. He went on to continue the role in team-up series The Defenders in August of that year, and popped up in the second season of Luke Cage. While reviews of Iron Fist Season 1 were unfavourable, the ten-episode second season released just over a month ago at the start of September fared slightly better with fans and critics.
Netflix’s Marvel series are set to continue with the arrival of Daredevil Season 3 on October 19, while Jessica Jones and The Punisher have new episodes upcoming.
