Following the cancellation of Luke Cage and Iron Fist, it has been revealed that both shows lost over half their viewers between the first and second seasons.

An analysis of Netflix viewing numbers by the company Jumpshot suggests that both shows failed to bring the kind of numbers they’d initially earned in their first seasons. The breakdown indicates that Luke Cage lost 59 percent of its viewing numbers, while Iron Fist fell a staggering 64 percent in viewer numbers.

According to ScreenRant, it was ultimately the lackluster viewing numbers for the two series that played a role in both shows being canceled by the streaming network. This would also line up with earlier reports that the lack of social media chatter about the series' respective second seasons also led to the decision to cancel the shows.

The third season of Daredevil premiered on Oct. 19 and reportedly also saw a dip in overall viewing numbers and social media buzz. The second season of The Punisher concluded earlier this year, while the third season of Jessica Jones is currently in the middle of production.

I still haven't watched either

First seasons had me waiting with anticipation but I was meh on the new seasons.

Jessica Jones was worse than both Luke Cage & Iron Fist in my opinion

 

[Wavy Hair Chipped Teeth]

Friends lasted twice as long as Living Single, so no surprise Jessica Jones is outlasting Luke Cage

JJ is pure shyt. First season saved by Mr. Purple. 2 episodes in to the second and I bailed.

Then again I didn't finish the first season of Iron Fist

Luke S2 is the best of these netflix series outside of daredevil S1

 

[Bryan Danielson]

It’s whatever.....

Move them over to the Disney service....

With all the other shows coming. If it’s business, let it be business and everyone move on to their next plans


But if it’s pettiness, Disney should remove all their content by the EOY

A lot of CACS didn't like Luke Cage because it was too pro-black.

Y'all swellin'. Luke Cage fell off after cottonmouf died.

 

[David_TheMan]

It was half way good through the first season. The second season was trash.
They should have stuck to making it Luke Cage, not some pandering woke cage bullshyt.

I’m one of those. Watched the first season of Luke cage on the hype of it being a black super hero, a personal connection to Cheo, and wanting to see mahershala....overall the show was mediocre to bad and the Luke cage dude couldn’t act. Felt no need to watch season two as even the first was a chore for me

 

[Paper Boi]

they should have never killed off cottonmouth halfway through season 1. took a lot of juice out the show.

i didn't watch season 2 till weeks later because season 1 didn't end on a high note.

Luke Cage was the absolute best of the bunch but no surprise that Jessica Jones boring ass outlasted it.
