Netflix announced that the sophomore cycle of the superhero series is scheduled to premiere on March 18, reported Ace Showbiz.
"There certainly is storytelling wise," said showrunner Melissa Rosenberg.
"The question becomes is there actual time? There are logistics involved, because Defenders has to shoot by a certain time, contractually. Actually, I'm not sure; I'm not at all involved in those conversations, much to my dismay. The first question is whether or not we will even get a second season. The second question is, if so, when? Will it be before The Defenders or after? I'd certainly love it to be before but there are things that play into that - time, availability," she said.
