With The Punisher’s second season acting as its last, Netflix has one Marvel release under its belt. Netflix has confirmed it will air the third season of Jessica Jones. We don’t know the release date yet although the show completed its filming awhile back. The release of Jessica Jones will mark the final Marvel outing with Netflix. With Disney set to launch its own streaming service, characters like The Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch, Loki will get their own solo series.
For now, we have the best fan reactions on the cancellation for you:
Won’t be long before I cancel my @netflix subscription. Getting rid of DareDevil, The Punisher, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage is an absolute joke.
