It looks like Netflix is giving Marvel’s Iron Fist another chance. Deadline reports the streaming service has renewed the TV show for a second season.

It’s likely the streaming service ordered another season just to keep their Marvel franchise intact. Jones will star as the titular superhero in the upcoming mini-series Marvel’s The Defenders, which premieres on August 18th.
