is the latest Marvel Comics hero to receive a second season on Netflix, with Season 2 now available for streaming. The series is expected to pick up storylines from the first season, while also addressing Luke Cage’s superhero team up with Iron Fist, Daredevil and Jessica Jones in The Defenders. Of course, there is usually character growth that naturally occurs from the first to second seasons of a Marvel Netflix series, and head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb discussed these details and Luke Cage’s evolution during an interview at the New York premiere of the titular hero’s Season 2. RELATED: “I think what we’re doing with a lot of the second seasons shows, particularly on Netflix, is if the first season was, ‘Meet our hero,’ then the second year tends to be about, ‘What it is to be a hero,'” Loeb said. “And in the Marvel Universe, you don’t get a free ride. So the people act accordingly. What Luke has to go through in the court of public opinion. And then, he’s got Mariah coming against him, he’s got Bushmaster coming against him. I think what we’re going to find is what the show does best. It’s great characters, great dramas, but at the same time, that Marvel humor and big action.” Picking up on the events of The Defenders, Luke Cage Season 2 sees the titular superhero caught in the middle of a turf war for Harlem between Mariah Dillard and new foe Bushmaster. With the entire neighborhood caught in the crossfire, Cage must make difficult compromises to put an end to the violence. Streaming now on Netflix, Marvel’s Luke Cage Season 2 stars Mike Colter, Simone Missick, Alfre Woodard, Theo Rossi, Mustafa Shakir, Gabrielle Dennis, Rosario Dawson and Reg E. Cathey.

AMC’s returns to AMC tonight with a Season 3 premiere that sees Jesse and Cassidy race to Jesse’s childhood home to see if his Voodoo-practicing Gran’ma can bring Tulip back from the dead. The return to Angelville heralds the show’s arrival at one of the most memorable storylines from the acclaimed comic by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. This will no doubt appease fans eager for Seth Rogen’s and Evan Goldberg’s television adaptation to actually, you know, adapt the comic. So far, they’ve delved into prequel territory by exploring Annville, Texas, in Season 1, and meandered into an introduction of the Grail in Season 2. While the drama has been well-received by critics, it’s frustrated some comics fans who’ve waited patiently to see more of the source material they fell in love with make it to the small screen. RELATED: Luckily, they won’t have to wait much longer. The first three episodes of Season 3 bring Preacher closer to the source material than ever before. Ahead of tonight’s premiere, CBR spoke with showrunner Sam Catlin about what to expect from the horror show that is Angelville, and the rest of the angels and demons that populate this corner of cable. Ruth Negga as Tulip O’Hare in Preacher Season 3 CBR: As Jesse gets settled back in Angelville, we were pleasantly surprised to see how you adapted the Angelville residents, specifically in the case of T.C. (played by Colin Cunningham), and his subsequent friendship with Cassidy, which is not in the comics. Was that intentional or was it something that developed in casting? Sam Catlin: Yeah, for sure, it’s just one of those things where you’re sitting in the writers room and … really probably since we saw Colin’s audition everyone was like, “Oh, my God, he and Cassidy …” And Cassidy is the sort of mature, more grounded character. It was a good opportunity for us. You know, casting is luck, so much of it is luck and we really lucked out with both those characters. And then you just want to see them together. Absolutely, specifically with Cass – it’s refreshing to see him play kind of an older sibling. Yeah, I agree. Speaking of casting, let’s chat about Betty Buckley. Marie L’Angell is terrifying and disgusting in the comics, and Buckley’s performance is pretty revelatory in that it’s both of those things, but it’s also tender and compelling. Did you have her mind from the beginning? I didn’t have her in mind at all. But the casting director, Mark Rutman, I think suggested her. I’m not sure how we heard about her, but [he asked] would we be interested in seeing her read. And we were, like oh, my God, yes, absolutely. I mean, she just has such a great presence, such a great face and she’s just such a powerful performer that it felt like we definitely needed somebody with that much authority. We’d have to believe that Jesse could be bullied by her, could be intimidated by her. So, once she auditioned for her it was just sort of a no-brainer. I agree, she’s fantastic.
