7 Netflix Shows That Were Cancelled Too Soon
1. Iron Fist
Why It Was Cancelled: Iron Fist suffered the same fate as his teammate Luke Cage, only a week earlier. Cancelled soon after its second wave of episodes launched on Netflix, the show's demise came as a huge shock to fans, especially considering the massive improvement from season one to season two.
Despite this leap in quality though, Iron Fist is generally everyone's least-favourite Defender, and it's possible that Netflix considered his show among the least-important out of their Marvel superhero lineup.
Why It Deserved A Future: Iron Fist season two was much better than season one. Danny Rand himself was less brash, less stupid, and less, well, annoying, and it really felt like Finn Jones had found his footing playing the character.
Plus, with an awesome ending - Danny sporting dual Iron Fists while hunting Orson Randall, and Colleen fighting crime in New York with a magic punch of her own - the series had set itself up for a tantalising season three. Not getting to see that feels like the showrunners raised their game in season two for no reason, with Iron Fist getting cut off just as it began to show shades of brilliance.
However, we'd be crazy to not mention the possibility that Netflix has cancelled Iron Fist/Luke Cage because they're planning on doing a Heroes For Hire team-up show, or even a Daughters Of The Dragon spinoff with Colleen. But if that is the case... why even announce that they've been cancelled? Why not just announce Heroes For Hire up front? Why is Finn Jones posting teases like this?!
All things considered, there's a good chance that Luke Cage and Iron Fist - the characters - could live on, whether in a combined show, the Disney streaming service, or in Daredevil/Jessica Jones/The Defenders. But with no confirmation of anything like that just yet, we're left with the raw disappointment of the cancellation instead.
