What other Marvel Television shows should be continued in some way shape or form like Daredevil with Born Again, or Punisher with the Special Presentation?
So, of the older Marvel Television shows (I excluded Helstrom because the showrunner said it's not canon), what else should be continued in some way shape or form like Daredevil has been with Daredevil: Born Again, and The Punisher will be with next year's Special Presentation?
* Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
* I don't think that an AoS revival should happen because the show ended so perfectly, but I would love to see a Holiday Special with the team getting back together for some occasaion and trying to enjoy but things keep getting in the way.
* Agent Carter
* Agent Carter was so good, and I think that it should definately be revived, but I don't think it'll happen anytime soon because one of the showrunners is working on Doomsday and Secret Wars, and the other is doing other Agbo (Russos's production company) projects.
* Jessica Jones
* Something Jessica Jones might be in development, Brad Winderbaum hinted at it recently, and I think a revival would be amazing.
* Luke Cage and Iron Fist
* With where the characters ended in their respective shows, there's no way those stories can be told now, with those almost being a decade ago since MCU present day, so I personally hope that they make a shared sequel called Heroes For Hire with Luke, Danny, Colleen, and Misty doing exactly that.
* The Defenders
* We might be seening a Defenders reunion in Born Again S2, and having them team up in a Special Presentation would be fun.
* Inhumans
* Just reboot it. It's not tied to anything (Don't say that this dumpster fire is connected to AoS because they implied the wider existance of Inhumans on Earth)
* Runaways
* It ended on a cliffhanger, and we need answers. A sequel show would do it justice.
* Cloak & Dagger
* Their show was pretty good, but personally, I think that having them pop up in a project every year would be better than giving them a revival because of the way the show ended.
* Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
* I don't think that an AoS revival should happen because the show ended so perfectly, but I would love to see a Holiday Special with the team getting back together for some occasaion and trying to enjoy but things keep getting in the way.

I would love to see Aos comeback too, but I don’t know how can they continue it.
Runaways I still have to see season 3, so I don’t know how it ends.
Punisher I think will start to appear in movies now.
I actually also somewhat enjoyed Iron Fist, even though all the transferring at the end was a bit much. But there is still a lot that can be done.
Also Marvel fans: "Please make even more shows! Bring back half of the shows that were cancelled because they were unpopular"
Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, would have all been brought back already if they had anywhere near as much popularity as Daredevil. When in reality, they were just shows that could be made on a Netflix budget, and try to ride an Avengers team up train. The most you're getting is maybe some appearances in the 2nd season of the revival of DD ...7 years after their last appearance.
Inhumans has been abandoned. To the point that their sole appearance in the MCU (afaik) has been a character who literally didn't speak, said 2 words in a flashback, was in a different universe, and was really there just to be killed.
Runaways was literally removed from streaming to save a bit of money. That's how little care it had.
Cloak and Dagger apparently had a plan for 5 seasons, and was cancelled at 2.
Viewership was down and the shows were expensive. Netflix wanted just 10 episodes while Marvel wanted 13.

If Spider-Man 5 did have Kingpin as a villain, I could see Luke Cage appearing as a character who is competing for position of Mayor. Shang-Chi 2 is the most logical place for Iron Fist to reappear in.
I would love for Jessica Jones to have that friendship with Captain Marvel she has in the comics but it doesn't seem realistic that a 3rd film for Captain Marvel will happen.
Agents of Shield is done and Agent Carter doesn't need a revival IMO.
Inhumans needs a film reboot
Runaways does end on a jarring cliffhanger but it doesn't need to be answer in a new season IMO. Can be done in comic or something. Likewise Cloak and Dagger doesn't need another season
Continue Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist probably as a single show.
And more Werewolf by Night.
Jessica Jones season 1 was great but then 2 was one of the worst seasons of a show I’ve ever seen.
Maybe you could just combine Luke, Iron Fist & Jessica into a Heroes for Hire show but I need more Luke Cage regardless.
There was an old show called Combat that my dad used to watch. It was about an American unit during WWII. The thing is, most characters only appeared in half the episodes (as far as I remember). I’d like to see Marvel do something like that. It would reduce the time and salary commitment for some of the bigger stars and allow for a larger overall cast.
I wouldn't totally shut the door on Luke -- I'd refer you to his cameo in the Jessica Jones finale that suggests where he's at and where he's headed.
Could potentially bring back AoS through a Spinoff- maybe Agents of SWORD that follows on from where Quake ended at S7 and some of the rest of the cast show up in recurring capacity.
I'm not sure there was much more to tell for the Runaways, Cloak and Dagger could maybe show up in some kind of supernatural show if they ever explore that.
Agent Carter could definitely get a 3rd and final season to tell the story of the founding of SHIELD but again not too sure if that's necessary too.
My ideal future with the quality over quantity approach would for the TV side to become less mandatory viewing but keep having annual release shows with 10-16 eps that are more for the die hards and people who want to dive in more - so a Defenders show, AoS type show and something in the supernatural/horror realm dropping each year.
Runaways and Cloak & Dagger both deserve continuations, but all those teens are pushing 30 now. Except the only one who's now pushing 40.
Inhumans can stay dead and buried. Give a reboot instead of a continuation.
Give Agent Carter a special presentation to wrap up the whole "Michael Carter shot Jack Thompson and is possibly a war criminal" cliffhanger.
Fold the Helstrom siblings into Blade, since Lilith (their big sister in the MCU) is the main villain of the movie.
The Defenders Saga is clearly returning all of its characters in Born Again.
I can't say that the comics have particularly handled them as adults all that well, but in the MCU they'd all be near 30, so it'd be something to explore. They have to be running from something to keep their name making sense, and the current comic has them as fugitives of Doctor Doom.
Another possibility is that the team went with Nico in the MCU to find the same master she found in 2021, but in 2022 when Molly would've graduated. Which would lead to enemies of the Minoru witches to hunt the team down, or possibly even Mordo himself since Nico's magic is so tied to the Dark Dimension. And we pick up with them in the aftermath of Multiverse of Madness with no allies to rely on and Nico's master dead.
A third possibility, and my least favorite, they could pull a Spider-Man and keep them teens for as long as possible. Bring everyone back, but set the next season during the Blip. Everyone but Molly is starting college, she's still the only minor.
Honestly, the show ruined its own premise by Season Two by having the Runaways frequently interacting with the people they ran away from, and even bringing the parents into the Hostel. Season 3 was especially egregious for this. So a continuation could genuinely go in any direction with these characters and I'd welcome the evolution.
And to be fair, I love Rowell's run. They're just not Runaways anymore.
A-freaking-men.
Yes, & why:
* Cloak & Dagger: That show was something special, & I'd like to see the rest of Joe Pokaski's 5-year plan.
* Agent Carter: Just a 3rd season to tie up loose ends.
No, & why:
* Agents of SHIELD got 7 seasons & ended *very* well; it genuinely doesn't need a revival. I'd love to see a couple of the characters return in other projects, but the show itself is done.
* Runaways requires the characters to be teenagers. The last episode is set in 2018, & the present day of the MCU is now 2027; even Molly would be in her 20s by now. If they brought Runaways back, they'd have to either set it during the Blip or reboot it entirely.
* Inhumans: The Attilan royal family aren't that interesting, IMO.
