Fall TV: Rev Up for New Shows8 of 10
3. "Luke Cage" (Netflix)
Like "Jessica Jones" and "Daredevil" before it, "Luke Cage" is part of a wide-reaching deal by Disney and Marvel to bring to Netflix a set of live-action series that culminates in "The Defenders" miniseries. "Cage" is the third title to result from the agreement and follows the justice-seeking exploits of a character that was introduced to viewers in "Jessica Jones." Mike Colter stars as the titular hero, a former convict with unworldly strength and titanium-hard skin who rededicates his life to fighting crime in New York. Rounding out the cast are Mahershala Ali as crime boss Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes and Alfre Woodard as local politician Mariah Dillard. Look for recurring appearances from Rosario Dawson, who reprises her role as Claire Temple from both "Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones." Fun fact: Every episode of the series is named after a Gang Starr song.
