Jones as Comanche Finn Jones as Danny Rand / Iron Fist Production Development In January 2015, Netflix CCO Ted Sarandos stated the series was `` eligible to go into multiple seasons for sure '' and Netflix would look at `` how well ( they ) are addressing both the Marvel fanbase but also the broader fanbase '' in terms of determining if additional seasons would be appropriate. In July 2015, Sarandos said some of the Defenders series would `` selectively have multiple seasons as they come out of the gate. '' Regarding a second season, showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker stated he had `` a few ideas '', including possibly exploring the `` Hero for Hire '' aspect of Luke Cage, though noted he was not taking `` any of this for granted '' in terms of feeling a second season renewal from Netflix was guaranteed. Actor Mike Colter also felt `` Heroes for Hire '' could be explored in future seasons, as well as further exploring Cage 's lifestyle change regarding his relationship with Jessica Jones and introducing the couple 's daughter. In December 2016, Netflix renewed the series for a second season, of 13 episodes. Coker compared the season to A Tribe Called Quest 's second album The Low End Theory saying, their first album People 's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm `` was great, but then Low End Theory was the record that everyone says... when they think of A Tribe Called Quest taking it to the next level. That 's my hope for season 2, is that we have some of the similar sounds, but we go in a deeper direction. '' Coker also noted that music would continue to be an important element for the season and that Harlem would still be `` at the heart and its center '' for the series. Writing In July 2017, Colter said the writing for the season was different from the first, because `` we know the show now. We know the world that we 're in and we know sort of what works and what does n't work and we 're just gon na double down on that stuff, so look forward to a very exciting and very relevant and pop culture - heavy show. '' He added that after the first season and the crossover miniseries The Defenders, Cage would have `` a whole new outlook on life '' and would not be dealing with the judicial system anymore. Casting Colter returns to star as Cage, along with Simone Missick as Misty Knight, Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple, Alfre Woodard as Mariah Dillard, and Theo Rossi as Hernan `` Shades '' Alvarez. In July 2017, Marvel announced the casting of Mustafa Shakir as John McIver, and Gabrielle Dennis as Tilda Johnson. A version of Johnson also appears in Marvel Studios ' film Black Panther, portrayed by Nabiyah Be. Thomas Q. Jones also reprises his role as Comanche in the season. In October 2017, it was revealed that Finn Jones would be reprising his role as Danny Rand / Iron Fist in the season. Colter explained that there had been interest from fans to see more of the previously established relationship between Cage and Jessica Jones, but for this season they `` went out on a limb '' and decided to give to the fans of the `` Heroes for Hire '' instead by having Cage and Rand team up for part of the season. He added that Finn Jones `` will bring some fresh blood in the new season ''. Filming Principal photography began by June 10, 2017, under the series ' working title Tiara. Production wrapped that November. Music Coker wanted to have live musical performances in the season again after the first, and hoped that some musicians who had turned him down for the first season would be happy to join the second after getting to see the series. In July 2017, Colter said that the second season would have `` another feel to it '' in terms of the music, praising the season 's musical guests and explaining that he and Coker had chosen a `` certain type '' of music for the season after listening to it at a birthday party and agreeing that there had `` not been one bad song '' played. Release The second season of Luke Cage is set to be released in 2018, on the streaming service Netflix worldwide, in Ultra HD 4K and high dynamic range.
