Marvel Television has
announced that Daredevil season two showrunners Doug Petrie ("Buffy the
Vampire Slayer") and Marco Ramirez ("Orange is the New Black")
are returning as showrunners for the Netflix Original Series, Marvel's The
Defenders.
Oscar-nominee Drew
Goddard ("The Martian", "Lost", "Alias"), returns
to Marvel fold as an executive producer on the show after having left his
position as showrunner on the first season of Daredevil to Steven S. DeKnight.
"Doug and Marco captivated our members around the world with their
continuation of the story of Matt Murdock in 'Marvel’s Daredevil,' and
we can’t wait to see how they and Drew will introduce the full Defenders team
to our global audience," said Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of
Original Content.
"We're incredibly excited to be able to bring our four street level
heroes together in an epic tale woven by Doug and Marco whose work on ‘Marvel’s
Daredevil’ speaks for itself," said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel
Television, Jeph Loeb. "They write and produce not only great action and
adventure, but also the heart and touch of humor that's makes us Marvel. With
the inclusion of Drew Goddard, we've got a team that's as formidable as the
Defenders themselves."
"This is the big one. Four amazing casts, four amazing series, now all
in one amazing story," said showrunners and Executive Producers Douglas
Petrie and Marco Ramirez. "We are thrilled at the opportunity to deliver
the show that both we and the fans have been waiting for."
Marvel's The Defenders will star Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Krysten Ritter
as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage, and Finn Jones as Iron Fist.
