Netflix has renewed "Iron Fist" for a second season despite poor reviews.

The announcement was made on Friday at Comic-Con, where Marvel Television and Netflix were presenting a panel for upcoming miniseries "The Defenders", according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Iron Fist" launched to controversy after Netflix and Marvel cast "Game of Thrones" star Finn Jones as the lead.

Jones plays Danny Rand aka Iron Fist, a superhero who practises martial arts and has control of a mystical force known as the Iron Fist.

Although Rand is portrayed as Caucasian in the comic books, some fans have argued that it would have been more progressive to cast a non-Caucasian actor on the TV series.
