In an interview at a Netflix event in
The UK,
Daredevil himself,
Charlie Cox revealed that the
Defenders series for Netflix will begin filming at the end of the year. Daredevil co-showrunners
Douglas Petrie and
Marco Ramirez will serve as showrunners for
The Defenders, with
Drew Goddard staying close to the properties in the role as an executive producer. So,
Luke Cage is slated for
September 30th of this year,
Iron Fist in 2017, The Defenders and possibly
Jessica Jones season 2 somewhere in the mix as well.
Next on TV Talk, what show would be complete without talking the 6th season of Game of Thrones. The show is now 6 days, 2 hours and 41 minutes away from its debut with an eventual crash of
HBO GO and the launch of
936 new podcasts themed around "
Winter Coming." But with all that excitement, in true Game of Thrones fashion, fans were stabbed through the heart when, in an exclusive interview with
Variety, show runners
David Benioff and
D.B. Weiss said they are mulling over the idea of ending the battle for the
Iron Throne with just 13 more episodes once this sixth season is over.
Seven episodes for season 7; six for the 8th and potential final season. Also
HBO says the potential Game of Thrones spinoffs are quote, "up in the air."
The currently untitled
Star Trek TV series that will debut on
CBS in January of 2017 and then exclusively stream on
CBS All Access has been given a timeline. According to
Birth.
Movies.
Death., the show will be set between
Star Trek VI:
The Undiscovered Country and
Star Trek: The Next Generation. That leaves a 70-year chunk of the series’ timeline open to explore. Though it's a rumor, it’s hard to predict just where the new series will fall. But if true, then the TV series will exist in Star Trek‘s original continuity and not the rebooted timeline of the
J.J. Abrams’ films.
Bryan Fuller will be serving as show runner with exec producers
Alex Kurtzman,
Nicholas Meyer, and
Rod Roddenberry; all names that have been synonymous with the
Star Trek universe.
In renewals and cancellation news,
New Girl,
Man Seeking Woman and
Fear the Walking Dead, all got the green light for new seasons, while
Episodes will see its end after 5 seasons along with
Louis C.K.’s,
Horace &
Pete - which will end just after 10 episodes.
SUPERHERO RUNDOWN
At the
Captain America: Civil War premiere, Cheo Hodari Coker, screenwriter and executive producer of
Marvel’s Luke Cage, said he wants the show to be
The Wire of the
Marvel TV Universe.
Iron Fist, the last
Defender to be introduced in the Netflix
Marvel Universe has cast
David Wenham as its villain,
Harold Meachum as a ruthless corporate leader who was partners with
Danny Rand’s parents at the time of their deaths. What role he plays in
Danny’s past and future will be revealed over the course of the series.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which airs on
The CW, got off to kind of a slow start, but in typical fashion,
Greg Berlanti and his own super team of producers and writers are pulling off the time traveling
Legends series in dynamic fashion.
