Marvel’s Iron Fist will have a new showrunner for its newly picked up second season. Raven Metzner (Fox’s Sleepy Hollow) is taking the reins of the Marvel series for Netflix as executive producer and showrunner. He replaces Scott Buck, who ran the first season.
“Raven’s love of all things Iron Fist and his extensive knowledge of martial arts films made him the perfect choice to continue telling the adventures of Danny Rand and Colleen Wing,” said EP Jeph Loeb, “Season One and The Defenders are only the beginning of this fantastic action packed tale.”
In landing a second-season renewal, Iron Fist is following in the footsteps of Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, which also have been picked up for additional seasons. Iron Fist will likely undergo tweaking going into its second season as it was a rare Marvel Netflix drama not to garner strong critical reviews at launch.
