'Luke Cage' Season 2: Filming Kicks Off This Week in New York
The sophomore season of "Luke Cage" started filming this week. After a successful debut season, the series has managed to maintain its charm and make fans want to see more of the man with indestructible skin.
Although season 2 will not air until 2018, fans still have the chance to see Luke on "The Defenders," which premieres later this year. According to reports, the show's second season will pick up from the events in "The Defenders" and "Luke Cage" season 1. The series will also see actor Mike Colter reprise his role as the titular character.
With season 2 kicking off filming this week, it looks like Marvel and Netflix are not breaking their partnership soon. In fact, if "Luke Cage" will continue to draw viewers next season, the network and studio might then just continue teaming up for more renewals in the future.
