13 Upcoming Netflix Original Shows To Be Excited About

7. Luke Cage

First appearing in Jessica Jones (hopefully be out later this year), which makes sense because they€™re married, Luke Cage will then be heading off to his own series in 2016.

Mike Colter, who has appeared in the likes of Million Dollar Baby and The Good Wife, is on board to star as the titular hero, with Cheo Hodari Coker (Southland, Roy Donovan) serving as showrunner.

Luke Cage began life as Carl Lucas, who is sent to prison and becomes the subject of experiments that leave him with superhuman strength and unbreakable skin. Like with all of the Netflix/Marvel shows, it promises to contain plenty of top-quality action, character driven drama, and a much darker tone than anything else in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
