Netflix Officially Cancels ‘Iron Fist’; No Season 3 For Marvel Series

Iron Fist Finn Jones

Despite critics and fans responding much more positively to the second season of Marvel’s Iron Fist, Netflix has officially canceled the series.

Although the second season saw the introduction of Steel Serpent and Typhoid Mary, and while the season two finale included some set up for another season, teasing characters like Danny Rand’s predecessor Orson Randall, the fury of the fist’s adventures will no longer continue on the streaming service. At least not in his own standalone Netflix series.

You can read the joint-statement from Marvel and Netflix below:

“Marvel’s Iron Fist will not return for a third season on Netflix. Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is proud of the series and grateful for all of the hard work from our incredible cast, crew and showrunners. We’re thankful to the fans who have watched these two seasons, and for the partnership we’ve shared on this series. While the series on Netflix has ended, the immortal Iron Fist will live on.”

Iron Fist stars Finn Jones, Jessica Henwick, Sacha Dhawan, Tom Pelphrey, Jessica Stroup, Simone Missick and Alice Eve. Here’s the official synopsis:

Iron Fist Season 2 features Danny Rand (Finn Jones) as he fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.

Season 2 furthers the transformation of Danny , a character with a fish out of water coming of age story making his way in a harsh new world, battling to work out who he is. This season, Danny has promised that with Matt Murdock gone, he will step up and protect his city. But a sinister plot twist threatens his very identity and he must conquers his villains to protect the town and people he holds close to his heart.

Both seasons of Marvel’s Iron Fist are currently available to stream on Netflix.
