The Hell's Kitchen Avengers are finally coming together! Marvel made the big announcement earlier today. And promises that a few familiar faces will be in charge of Netflix's most ambitious Marvel series to date. Douglas Petrie (Daredevil, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Marco Ramirez (Daredevil, Orange is the New Black) are set to return as showrunners to the Marvel Universe for the Netflix Original Series The Defenders.

Another alum from Daredevil, Oscar-nominee Drew Goddard (The Martian, Lost, Alias), will also join the team as an Executive Producer. The Executive Producers and showrunners of Daredevil Season 2 will unite the Man Without Fear with Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. The Defenders is a mini-series event that brings these heroes together to face their biggest threat yet. Said Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Content.

"Doug and Marco captivated our members around the world with their continuation of the story of Matt Murdock in 'Marvel's Daredevil,' and we can't wait to see how they and Drew will introduce the full Defenders team to our global audience."

Said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb.

"We're incredibly excited to be able to bring our four street level heroes together in an epic tale woven by Doug and Marco whose work on 'Marvel's Daredevil' speaks for itself. They write and produce not only great action and adventure, but also the heart and touch of humor that's makes us Marvel. With the inclusion of Drew Goddard, we've got a team that's as formidable as the Defenders themselves."

Said showrunners and Executive Producers Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez.

"This is the big one. Four amazing casts, four amazing series, now all in one amazing story. We are thrilled at the opportunity to deliver the show that both we and the fans have been waiting for."

The Defenders will star Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, and Finn Jones, all reprising their roles as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, respectively. Douglas Petrie, Marco Ramirez, Drew Goddard, and Jeph Loeb will serve as Executive Producers on The Defenders. The series is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.
