Everything You Need to Know About Iron Fist Season 2
The first season might not have gotten the greatest critic rating, but that hasn’t stopped the show from getting a second season. Here is everything you need to know about Iron Fist Season 2:
Release date?
The second season has only just started filming in December, around the same time as Daredevil season three, so we won’t be seeing Iron Fist season two in the same March slot as its first season. We may have to wait until March 2019 for Iron Fist season two.
Cast?
The first-look photo confirmed that Danny (Finn Jones) and Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick) would be back. Also returning will be Tom Pelphrey as Ward Meachum, Jessica Stroup as Joy Meachum and Sacha Dhawan as Davos, Danny’s best friend from K’un-Lun.
In early December, Star Trek: Into Darkness star Alice Eve was confirmed to be joining the cast in season two. However, we don’t yet know what her role will be other than the fact that there will be “an intrigue and danger to her character unlike anyone else,” according to Marvel’s head of television Jeph Loeb.
New showrunner?
EW reported that Scott Buck was stepping down as showrunner, with Raven Metzner taking over for season two. Metzner has previously worked on the likes of Sleepy Hollow, Falling Skies and Heroes Reborn, with his main movie role to date being the writer of Elektra.
Plot?
As well as helping to defeat the Hand, Danny ended The Defenders by sitting on a rooftop in New York City, illuminated by his iron fist.
The assumption is that with Daredevil currently sidelined (depending on what happens in season three if it arrives before Iron Fist‘s second run), Danny will take over as the protector of Hell’s Kitchen, keeping it safe until Matt Murdock’s return.
Matt found himself in prison after his identity is revealed, leading to Danny ‘taking over’ as Daredevil to protect New York City and give Matt a cover story that he might not actually be Daredevil. When he was released from prison, a misunderstanding saw the two fight on a rooftop – as you do – before order was restored.

ICYMI: Here’s the Trailer for Netflix’s ‘The Defenders’ + What We Know so Far
Marvel’s The Defenders premiere is quickly approaching, here’s what we know so far.
The Defenders is an upcoming Netflix TV show based on the Marvel Comics team of the same name. The group consists of Max Murdock a.k.a. Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Danny Rand a.k.a. Iron Fist (Finn Jones). The Defenders and all the other Marvel/Netflix shows are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The show will be set one month after events of Iron Fist. These four vigilantes will have to leave their differences aside to fight one common enemy: The Hand.
The Defenders will not be the only ones coming back, as Stick (Murdock’s mentor, played by Scott Glenn), Claire Temple (Cage’s lover and former nurse who gives medical aid to vigilantes, played by Rosario Dawson), Misty Knight (a police detective, played by Simone Missick), Trish Walker (Jones’ adoptive sister and best friend, played by Rachel Taylor), Karen Page (Murdock’s former secretary and reporter, played by Deborah Ann Woll), Foggy Nelson (Murdock’s close friend, played by Elden Henson) and Colleen Wing (Rand’s lover and former member of The Hand, played by Jessica Henwick) are all set to come back and reprise their previous roles in the series.
Sigourney Weaver is joining the cast as one of the TV show’s villains: Alexandra. Her character is described as the head of an ancient organization who’s “really smart” and “very in charge.” Her character has also been described as “a very powerful force in New York City. She’s everything Sigourney is: sophisticated, intellectual, dangerous.”
However, we don’t know if she’ll be our main villain, especially since we have The Hand and Elektra (Élodie Yung) coming back as villains as well.
