Netflix further confirmed that Jessica Jones has been removed but its third season will still air at a yet-announced date.
“In addition, in reviewing our Marvel programming, we have decided that the upcoming third season will also be the final season for Marvel’s Jessica Jones,” Netflix revealed. “We are grateful to showrunner Melissa Rosenberg, star Krysten Ritter and the entire cast and crew, for three incredible seasons of this groundbreaking series, which was recognized by the Peabody Awards among many others."

According to the report published in Deadline, the decision to discontinue The Punisher was made official after pondering within Netflix. Rumours further state that the series would be cancelled after other Marvel titles like The Defenders, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Daredevil are also chopped.
“To all who have served. All who know loss. All who love and understand Frank and his pain. It has been an honor to walk in his boots. I’m endlessly grateful to the comic fans and the men and women of the Armed Services and law enforcement community who Frank means so much to. Thank you to the USMC and all the wonderful soldiers who trained me. Go Hard. Be safe,” Bernthal wrote on social media.
Now Marvel fans, we understand your dismay, but hold on to your seats, as we hope Netflix will soon make it up for the loss!
