In a recent series of posts, Daredevil producer Sam Ernst stated that he was unaware of the show’s upcoming cancellation.
In a pair of Tweets that he posted on Thursday and today he first seemed upset that the work that they did for the fourth season would never see the light of day. The team apparently had a lot of cool stuff in the work that they wanted to share with the fans:
Man, so weird to be in the Daredevil writers room today, getting the news that we’re cancelled. On the walls were an entire season 4 laid out – and it was so f***g cool. So many moments we wanted the fans to see… Sigh, this business.
Earlier today he talked about the lunch that he had with the series’ writers and how it seemed more akin to a wake. He also mentioned the love/hate relationship he has with the business:
Had a last lunch yesterday with the Daredevil writers. Sushi provided by our Captain, @erikoleson. Marvel execs there too, just as stunned as we were. More than lunch, really: a wake. A show gets cancelled, all those characters we love die. Why I hate my job. Why I love it, too.

Daredevil was sadly the latest Marvel Netflix show to be canceled. Following on the heals of Iron Fist and Luke Cage, the show was unexpectedly axed during the weekend. The actual reasoning behind it is unknown but the ratings for all three shows reportedly dropped as the series went on and may have had something to do with it. Many, however, are also speculating that it has something to do with the upcoming Disney+ streaming service and not wanting Disney owned content on a business rival. Only time, however, will give us any real answers to these questions.
What did you all make of Daredevil’s cancellation? We’re you hoping for a fourth season? Would you like to see it picked up elsewhere? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
