Netflix’s upcoming 13-episode Marvel series has tapped Spartacus creator Steven S. DeKnight to serve as executive producer/showrunner, our sister site Deadline reports.

Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods, Angel, Buffy) was originally tapped as writer/executive producer/director. The Whedonverse vet did pen the first two episodes of the superhero project but had to pull out of directing due to his commitment to Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man spin-off film, The Sinister Six.

This is interesting:

Over a multi-year rollout, Daredevil will be followed by a Jessica Jones series as well as TV takes on Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Once all four have made their Netflix debut, they will team up for a miniseries event that reimagines The Defenders, Marvel’s dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.

Will they be considered as part of The Marvel Cinematic continuity?

It's amazing just how far Joss Whedon's tree of writers/producers has stretched. Hard to find a genre show without that Joss connection.

I don't know whether there will be any overt tie-in to the Avengers/SHIELD tree. But with Whedon involved, even to just a small extent, bet that if there is a way to bring a Defenders/Avengers project home, it'll happen.

I wonder if these Netflix shows will later be available to those who don't use the service, either in syndication or Blueray. I'm interested in them.

Their shows are available on blu ray. OT, but House of Cards S1 is just $20 if you have Amazon Prime, in case you haven't seen it yet.

Very excited by this

Daredevil is a cool character, the movie was garbage but if they got someone good to write the series it could be really good. Netflix should do a Punisher series, that could be amazing if the right people do it.

The Law & Order: CI alum has been cast as Wilson Fisk (aka Kingpin), a powerful businessman whose interests in the future of New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood will put him in direct conflict with Matt Murdock (played by Boardwalk Empire‘s Charlie Cox) and the blind attorney’s crimefighting alter ego, Daredevil.
