As production continues on Netflix’sThe Defenders, newset photoshave surfaced which featureDaredevil(Charlie Cox) andJessica Jones(Krysten Ritter) taking a winter stroll. No story details can be gleaned from these photos, except that at least a portion of this season will be set in the winter months. The streaming service still hasn’t revealed when the show may debut yet, but the fourth and final of the Marvel Netflix stand alone TV shows,Iron Fist, is set to make its debut on March 17, withThe Defendersexpected to debut later this year.

In addition, Elden Henson will be reprising as Foggy Nelson along with Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Eka Darville as Malcolm, Carrie-Anne Moss as Jeri Hogarth, Scott Glenn as Stick, Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing, Elodie Yung as Elektra, Rachael Taylor as Trish Walker, Simone Missick as Misty Knight, and Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple. It has been hinted that Jon Bernthal’s The Punisher will return for the series as well, but that remains unconfirmed. These new set photos surfaced onTwitter, although it remains to be seen how much filming is left onThe Defenders.
Earlier set photos from The Defenders featured both Daredevil and Jessica Jones together, while others have featured Luke Cage reuniting withNight Nurse(Rosario Dawson). Other characters confirmed to return are Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), Stick (Scott Glenn), Trish Walker (Rachael Taylor), Misty Knight (Simone Missick), Jerilyn Hogarth (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Malcolm Ducasse (Eka Darville).Douglas PetrieandMarco Ramirez, who previously served asDaredevilshowrunners, have come aboard to serve asThe Defendersshowrunners. They will also serve as executive producers withDrew GoddardandJeph Loeb.
While Marvel and Netflix haven’t confirmed a premiere date forThe Defendersyet, this series has been confirmed to arrive before new seasons ofDaredevil and Jessica Jones. AfterThe Defendersdebuts at some point next year, fans will be treated to Daredevil Season 3, Jessica Jones Season 2 and The Punisher spin-off, which is currently in production. It hasn’t been confirmed if The Punisher will be seen in The Defenders or not, especially since both shows are currently in production. Netflix hasn’t issued a premiere date forThe Punisherseries yet either, but that announcement will likely come later this year, perhaps in tandem withThe Defenderspremiere date.
Last month, it was confirmed thatSigourney Weaver’s villainous character is named Alexandra, with showrunnerMarco Ramirezrevealing her character is a “powerful force” in the series. Unfortunately, that’s roughly all we know about her character, and it isn’t clear if she is based on a character from the Marvel comics, or if she was created specifically for this series. Hopefully we’ll get to see more set photos before production wraps. While we wait for more onThe Defenders, take a look at these new set photos below.
