But who's on first?! THR has confirmed that Drew Goddard () is stepping down as showrunner from Netflix's plannedseries and is set to write and direct Sony's villain-focusedspinoff Sinister Six . Meanwhile, Steven S. DeKnight is said to be finalizing a deal to board theseries.- Marvel just confirmed , so it looks like it's official.From the perspective of afan, or anyone who loved DeKnight's work onand, his arrival atis exciting news. And it's well worth noting that DeKnight not only has experience running a fantastic TV drama -- if you haven't seen, it's going to start airing on Syfy next month! -- but he's also a Joss Whedon alum, which should be comforting news, especially in light of Drew Goddard's departure as showrunner. Goddard, who penned the first two episodes, will remain withas executive producer. Last we heard , the 13-episodeseries -- the first of a handful of planned Marvel series lined up for Netflix -- was supposed to begin production in New York this summer.

Netflix and Marvel are also planning series centered on Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones.Since THR's report broke, Steven DeKnight tweeted the following...And he has also stated that he's deeply honored to be a part of it.Fans of DeKnight fromand his other series have been waiting to see what the writer would do next. He had a sci-fi drama for Starz in development as of last year, but there hasn't been any update onin a while.
