First, Iron Fist was canceled after its second season. Luke Cage was likewise canceled after its second season,
Now, Daredevil has been canceled shortly after releasing its third season, which got me thinking:
Will this be the last we'll see of these characters? Can Disney redistribute and continue their series in its own upcoming streaming service? Will this be the last we'll see of these characters? Can Disney redistribute and continue their series in its own upcoming streaming service? (at least as portrayed by these actors)

Jessica Jones and Punisher may still have a season to air on Netflix but may soon find themselves in the same boat.
Despite no mentions in the MCU movies about any character in the Defenders group, there were scattered mentions of MCU events and characters in these shows. Does this hint at the possibility of "compatibility" between these universes? I only mention this as there are already shows slated for Disney+ based on MCU characters.
