'Luke Cage' Season 2 Release Date, Latest News: Daredevil, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones Join Mike Colter In 'The Defenders'

The finale of "Luke Cage" season 1 saw Cage being sent back to Seagate Prison. Before he entered the jail, Claire Temple was there to kiss him and promise him that she would look for a lawyer who could help him.

Ahead of season 2, some reports claim that the new season will feature a big crossover. According to reports, Mike Colter from "Luke Cage" will be joined by Daredevil, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones in "The Defenders."

News about this crossover started when Claire Temple from "Luke Cage" was reportedly spotted on the set of "The Defenders." This is not actually a surprise if the "Luke Cage" actress will appear on the Netflix series, since she has after all appeared in all the three shows before and she personally knows Matt Murdock and Luke Cage. However, some fear that the new romance in "Luke Cage" season 2 between Luke Cage and Claire Temple might be hindered by Jessica Jones in "The Defenders."

Fans of "Luke Cage" can expect the titular character to be absolved from all of his crimes before season 2 arrives. There are speculations that this exoneration will happen either in "Iron Fist" or "The Defenders."

Meanwhile, there are rumors that Diamondback will be back to show his power to Luke Cage in the upcoming season of "Luke Cage." The new season is also expected to bring together Iron Fist and Luke Cage as "Heroes for Hire."

"Luke Cage" season 2 is expected to arrive in 2017.
