The Marvel universe is solidifying its Netflix empire, with the announcement Luke Cage has been renewed for a second season (via The Hollywood Reporter).

Mike Colter will, of course, return as the titular Harlem hero blessed with bulletproof skin; though there's no confirmation on how the rest of the cast will fill out, though Rosario Dawson will presumably make an appearance as Claire Temple again.

Netflix hasn't given a release date yet for Luke Cage's second season, and it may be a while before we see it hit screens, considering how closely packed the current slate is: The Defenders, Iron Fist, and The Punisher are all pitched for a 2017 release - which perhaps leaves Daredevil season 3, Jessica Jones season 2, and Luke Cage season 2 to fill out 2018?

We'll have to see - although fans can always go back and rewatch the well-received first series, especially if they want to catch the very subtle Back to the Future Easter egg hidden in one of the episodes.
