Netflix reveals premiere date of Marvel-produced series ‘Iron Fist’ in new teaser

With Luke Cage currently earning rave reviews from professional critics and general audiences alike, Netflix has announced when we can expect to see Iron Fistits next live-action television series set in Marvel Studios’ cinematic universe.

As revealed in a brief teaser that hints at the mystical elements of its title character’s origins, Iron Fist will premiere on the streaming video service March 17, 2017. Like Luke Cage, the series will debut with a 13-episode first season.

Iron Fist will be the fourth new series to come out of Marvel’s partnership with Netflix, following DaredevilJessica Jones, and Luke Cage. The main characters of all four series will eventually team up for the crossover miniseries The Defenders, which brings them all together (along with some of the supporting characters from each series, most likely) in order to battle a threat that’s greater than any one of them can handle individually.

Game of Thrones actor Finn Jones plays the title character in Iron Fist, a billionaire who returns home to New York City after disappearing for years. Faced with the encroaching criminal element in the city and his own difficulties in reconnecting with his family and his past, Danny Rand (Jones) uses a mystical blend of kung-fu and powerful magic to protect the innocent and all that he holds dear.

Along with Jones in the title role, the cast of Iron Fist also includes Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing (whose name is referenced in a brief scene in Luke Cage), David Wenham as Harold Meachum, Jessica Stroup as Joy Meachum, and Tom Pelphrey as Ward Meachum. Jessica Jones actress Carrie-Anne Moss reprises her role as lawyer Jeri Hogarth.

Award-winning Dexter and Six Feet Under writer Scott Buck serves as showrunner on Iron Fist, which had its first teaser trailer released back in July during Comic-Con International in San Diego.

"Blade has been delayed infinitely" is becoming an all-too-familiar headline. Well, it happened again.

In an unsurprising move, Disney has removed Marvel Studios' Blade from its release calendar. Blade's theatrical release was scheduled for November 7, 2025. Instead, Predator: Badlands, Dan Trachtenberg's Predator movie starring Elle Fanning, will now open on Blade's former November release date.

"No one gets to take from me and live. No one," vows Sugar Goodson (Stephen Graham), a dangerous criminal kingpin, in the first teaser trailer for A Thousand Blows. The forthcoming drama is the latest TV offering from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. Like his most successful and beloved TV effort, too, A Thousand Blows will both explore England's history and immerse viewers in a criminal underworld full of tension, deceit, and violence.

Inspired by numerous real-life stories, the series is set in the East End of London in the 1880s. It follows two friends from Jamaica, Hezekiah (Malachi Kirby) and Alec (Francis Lovehall), as they find themselves fighting for their lives in East London's criminal underground. Once there, Hezekiah and Alec not only cross paths with Mary Carr (Erin Doherty), the leader of an all-female gang, but also make an unfortunate enemy of Graham's Sugar, whose criminal viciousness is reflected in his skill as an illegal boxer.
