Netflix Marvel Series Plot Details For 'Daredevil,' 'Luke Cage,' 'Jessica Jones,' 'Iron Fist,' & 'Defenders' Revealed

Netflix's CCO Ted Sarandos this week revealed to Empire details of the upcoming Marvel original programming coming to the streaming service. According to Sarandos, we can expect a lot from these titles (Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones all leading to a collaborative The Defenders series), and Netflix is ready to take these shows to the next level in terms of plot.

While Daredevil is currently in production, the rest of the shows coming to Netflix are in the earlier stages of production. According to Sarandos, Jessica Jones is next and we have a lot to look forward to!

"Right now, the writers' rooms are open and they're looking at casting Jessica. If you sense some hesitation in my voice, that's classic Marvel fashion," he told Empire. "They like to keep that veil of secrecy. But Daredevil is already shooting, since that's out first. Eventually the series will run very close together. You can then have a separate season where the characters will cross over."

Sarandos went on to explain that the series will be more dramatic than the usual Marvel productions we're already used to.

"The series will not be afraid to go darker than the film did. What we love about this particular set of heroes is that they're a little more down to Earth," he said. "Costume wise and also in that these are gritty crime stories, more in the streets than in the clouds."
