Daredevil season 2 showrunners Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez will take on the same responsibilities in the Defenders crossover. They will be executive produced by Drew Goddard, who developed Daredevil for Marvel. Initially, Goddard was supposed to become the showrunner of the series, however, he limited himself to participating as a consultant. This is reported by the publication Deadline.

The Defenders will bring together the main characters of the four superhero shows Netflix – Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Kristen Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Coulter) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones), together to confront a threat that they cannot defeat alone. The show is based on the Marvel comic series, released since 1971 about groups of superheroes (in the original comic, the Defenders' team consisted of Doctor Strange, Hulk, Silver Surfer and Namor). The series will be released in 2017 following the premiere of "Luke Cage" (September 30, 2016) and the currently in-progress Iron Fist, which will also debut in 2017.

"We are delighted to be able to collect our four street heroes in an epic story, dreamed up by Doug and Marco, whose work on Daredevil speaks for itself, "said Marvel Television chief and executive producer Jeff Loeb in a statement." They create more than just great action and adventure. but they bring the soul and humor that make us Marvel.
