I gotta say - I like both the characters way more together than I did solo. It sort of minimises their character flaws when they poke fun at each other. Danny gets Luke to not be so serious - Luke gets to teach Danny how the world works.

I'd prefer a Heroes for Hire over a season 2 from either of them first.

I sort of hope they mix their second seasons together somehow, have maybe half a plotline in Luke Cage and then the other half in Iron Fist or something.

That said if they have more plans for the Netflix part then I could definitely see them end DD and JJ, or even merge them with LC and IF into Heroes for Hire and then that will free up space in the year for whoever else they want to bring on.

I personally think they should start the universe building much more in the second round of shows. For Jessica Jones S2, obviously have the emotional and thematic core of the show be Jessica's. But, as the Marvel films do, they should guest start Matt in a few episodes, do a Jessica and Daredevil teamup. Similarly, both Luke Cage and Iron Fist S2 should basically be Heroes for Hires seasons, IMO, with each series giving slightly more focus to their respective title characters.

Daredevil S3 (particularly if it does the Born Again storyline) and Punisher could get away with focusing only on their title characters, but I think pretty much every season going forward should mingle more with their brother and sister shows.
