This should come to no one’s surprise to find out that Netflix has cancelled The Punisher and Jessica Jones.  The series known as Jessica Jones is set to debut it’s third season sometime this year, though no release date has been given.

The once powerful universe was heralded with all sorts of praise for the first seasons of Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, respectively.  Yet later seasons didn’t generate the same buzz or hype, and with Marvel being owned by Disney, and Disney launching their own streaming service, as well as taking controlling stake in Hulu, Netflix opted to cancel the Marvel shows.

There has been rumors linking the Netflix-Marvel universe of shows to the Hulu platform.  This would be a boom, as those five shows are all part of the MCU-proper and losing Daredevil and The Punisher are two blows I doubt the MCU wants the same year they lose Thor, Captain America and Iron Man.

What will happen with the television series? No idea.  Though it is funny that the much maligned Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are still going, despite being less critically received.
