‘Daredevil’ Star Thinks Cancellation Was ‘Purely’ A Netflix Choice

During an interview with Inverse, Amy Rutberg stated that she believes the decision to cancel the series was “purely” a Netflix choice.

Following Netflix’s surprising decision to cancel Daredevil after the acclaimed third season, rumors began circulating suggesting that it was Marvel who opted to pull the plug on the series. However, Amy Rutberg, who portrayed lawyer Marci Stahl, explained that she believes the cancellation was solely Netflix’s decision as her contacts at Marvel were taken aback by the news:

“My contacts at Marvel were very surprised. Any of the rumors that it was a Marvel decision are wrong, I think it was purely a Netflix decision. That comes from personal conversations with people high up at Marvel. They were surprised.”

Rutberg added that she heard rumors that production on a fourth season was going to begin in early 2019 before the series was ultimately canceled:

“We had heard rumors we would start production as early as February 2019. It’s a little unusual to be that far ahead in the planning and cancel the show, which makes me think Netflix was laboring over whether or not to cancel it. My guess was it was not an easy decision.”
