You Can’t Break ‘Luke Cage’ in Season 2

03.06.2018

"You can't burn me, you can't blast me, and you definitely can't break me," (Mike Colter) tells viewers in Netflix's teaser for the premiere of the Marvel superhero series' sophomore season.

It picks up with Cage having cleared his name, and becoming a celebrity on the streets of Harlem, "with a reputation as bulletproof as his skin," says Netflix. "But his visibility has increased his need to protect the community and find the limits of who he can and can't save. With the rise of a formidable new foe, Luke is forced to confront the fine line that separates a hero from a villain."

And it seems nobody is going to get in his way.

"Wanna test me?" he says to the camera in the teaser. "Step up. I'm right here."

Netflix also released first-look images (posted above) that show him in a renovated Pops, goofing around with kids, encountering new enemies, and fighting alongside NYPD detective (Simone Missick, Ray Donovan) who now has her trademark bionic arm after it was cut off in Marvel's The Defenders. Luke Cage also stars Alfre Woodard (The Lion King), Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy), Mustafa Shakir (The Deuce), Gabrielle Dennis (Rosewood), and Rosario Dawson (Marvel's Daredevil).

Season two is executive produced by showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker (Ray Donovan), Jim Chory (Marvel's Jessica Jones) and Jeph Loeb (Marvel's Jessica Jones), who also serves as Marvel's head of television. The series is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.

The season two premiere episode is directed by Lucy Liu.

Marvel's Luke Cage returns June 22 on Netflix.
