'Daredevil' may not be coming back on Netflix but that doesn't mean we've seen the last of Marvel's masked vigilante

Although this season was arguably the best on the 'Daredevil' season roster, the cancellation of the hit show may be a complete agenda-oriented decision

In one of the most devasting announcements from Netflix to Marvel, the streaming giant decided to ax 'Daredevil' after its third season — which is arguably the best in the show's season roster so far. Unsurprisingly, it has left fans of the show heartbroken and frustrated but from what we observe, there may be hope for 'Daredevil', after all. 

Netflix stepped into the Marvel franchise game with 'Daredevil' and 'Jessica Jones' in 2015. Netflix consecutively went on to add 'Luke Cage', 'Iron Fist', 'The Defenders' and 'The Punisher' on their Marvel roster on the platform.  Both 'Daredevil' and "Jessica Jones' did incredibly well for the platform and although Netflix does not release its subscriber viewership numbers for any of their original series, Karim Zreik, senior vice president of original programming at Marvel Television, provided some viewership demographics for 'Jessica Jones' in August 2017, noting that the series has attracted a large number of female viewers.
