31 Upcoming Comic Book TV Shows You Have To See

27. Defenders

Status: This series is due on Netflix from Marvel after AKA Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Pitch: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage team up to go to a place and probably fight someone? There hasn't been much information except for the fact that their individual Netflix series are supposed to culminate in this show. Odds of Success Onscreen: Pretty iffy right now, actually. The general audience accepted the idea of combining different heroes' stories into one megaseries with The Avengers, but that doesn't even mean they'll do it again for Justice League movies, let alone that they'll do it for this collection of "street-level" heroes in another medium. Daredevil did well on every level, but if even one of the lead-up series bombs, this combined series could be in trouble. If they all do well, of course, this assessment may change.
