Netflix has announced that it is renewing Luke Cage for a second season. The news was shared on the show’s Twitter and included a short clip displaying Pop’s Barber Shop reading “Season 2 coming soon” in a post accompanied by Pop’s own motto: Always forward.
Luke Cage — Netflix’s highest rated show to date — is the third Marvel show to get a second season on the streaming service, joining Daredevil and Jessica Jones in their fandom and success.
Season 1 of Luke Cage was well received by critics and had a huge impact within the Hip Hop community. Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge were appointed to spearhead the show’s score, giving it a ’90s Hip Hop vibe. It should also be noted that the show’s creator, Cheo Hodari Coker, channeled the name of Gang Starr cuts for each episode.
In other Hip Hop – Marvel collaborations, the comic book company took popular cover arts and “marvelized” them for installment covers inspired by Wu-Tang Clan and Chance The Rapper as well as LL Cool J’s BAD being remade with Luke Cage as HARD.
