Netflix Cancels The Punisher and Jessica Jones, Ending its Marvel Shows (cnet.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: Netflix is officially no longer producing Marvel's live-action shows. The streaming service has canceled both The Punisher and Jessica Jones, according to Deadline, with the latter's third season set to debut as the last batch of Marvel live-action episodes on Netflix. "We are grateful to Marvel for five years of our fruitful partnership and thank the passionate fans who have followed these series from the beginning," a Netflix representative told Deadline. Netflix didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

    I find all the netflix superhero shoes start really strong and then fizzle out. Watching Titans and it starts very raw and action packed, but four epis in it's a soap opera.

    Laws are rules for the court, but merely a bottom bar to hit for life. Think beyond laws in your actions always.

    Exactly correct! Not sure why Netflix is getting beat up on social media for the cancellations. Be mad at Disney.

    In addition Netflix's deal with Disney for other Disney content is set to expire later this year. Disney won't even negotiate a new deal, they want all their content for their services (Hulu and Disney+).

    Love them or hate them this isn't about ratings. This is about Disney rolling out their own streaming service.
