But also if you’re like us, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll finish the whole thing in one go, and that Sunday night will find you blearily demanding to know when you can expect your next Netflix-Marvel fix.
Well, the good news is that we can tell you right now. We’ve long know thatLuke Cage, Netflix’s third MCU series, would premiere sometime this year, and now starMike Colterhas officially announced a premiere date.
