Marvel Studios and Netflix have this afternoon confirmed several production details for their upcoming collaboration on a variety of TV video-on-demand projects. Based loosely on Marvel's classic comic-book series The Defenders, this franchise of five TV shows will comprise Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, the titular heroes of which will then team-up for a mini-series adaptation of Defenders itself.
It shouldn't come as a huge surprise for seasoned fans of Marvel's big-screen and small-screen efforts to learn that each of these much-anticipated sagas will be filmed in Manhattan, New York. More enticing still is the news that each of the aforementioned runs based on solitary heroes will comprise 13 one-hour episodes, bringing the cumulative episode total (when we include the 4-8 episodes of Defenders too) to around 56-60 episodes of no-holds-barred super-powered entertainment. All being well, we can live in hope that the various narratives can be integrated seamlessly into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Agents of SHIELD's storyline has done recently, and better yet, perhaps a cameo or two from these B-list comic-book characters in future big-screen outings won't be out of the question either...
Daredevil will commence shooting this Summer ahead of a Spring 2015 première on Netflix.
