In December 2014, Mike Colter was cast as Cage, which was envisioned as a recurring role on "Jessica Jones" before headlining his own series. Netflix and Marvel announced that Cheo Hodari Coker would be the showrunner for "Marvel's Luke Cage" in late March 2015, after he pitched the series to Netflix as an examination of Harlem, "like what "The Wire" did for Baltimore." The season consists of 13 hour-long episodes.
