Unfortunately, Disney isn't going to continue the Marvel series' they had going on Netflix. They released a statement at some point stating that the shows "didn't fit the Disney brand" (they were too violent, had swearing, etc.). They of course could "reboot" a more watered-down version of them, but I doubt they'll do that.
Netflix would hold on to the rights for these shows and their characters for at least an additional two years from their cancellation dates. (As you can see from below Netflix has already see some of these shows go beyond two years.

After that two years Marvel Studios could be able to start development on anything relating to the property. This would mean that Marvel has access to Danny Rand, Colleen Wing, and other supporting characters from Iron Fist again, allowing the studio to develop new shows or integrate the characters into other Marvel films or series'.

The Defenders - August 18, 2017
Like Cage - June 22, 2018
Iron Fist - September 7, 2018
DareDevil - October 19, 2018
The Punisher - January 18, 2019
Jessica Jones - June 14, 2019

Finished Godless, pretty good take on the western genre. Have begun the "Queen's Gambit" which is quite enjoyable and led by a talented young actor.

Just started Season 2 of Pennyworth - great fun. Also watched first episode of "Your Honor" which was encouraging....

I'm loving "The Flight Attendant"... mad/funny but great TV drama.

There is a point, two years I believe, which after Marvel (Disney) can use the characters again. At this point everything except The Punisher & Jessica Jones are open to use in anyway Marvel (Disney) wants...!

I would say Marvel (Disney) made statements about the graphic / violent nature of the Netflix Marvel shows at the time because they had not yet decided on an Adult 18+ Disney+ scheme...?

Charlie Cox, the actor who portrayed Daredevil in the Marvel Netflix series (and The Defenders) has been highly rumored to be appearing both in the next Marvel (Disney) Spider-Man movie & one (if not more) of the forthcoming Disney+ tv series...

As for why there are still Marvel shows on Netflix, I am sure they are just waiting to move them over to Disney+ once the Adults 18+ section is set up...?

The Flight Attendant has been crazy, in a good way. I haven’t read the book, so I don’t know how closely it’s adapted, but hopefully the finale this week sticks the landing.

Ran out of time last night... watched episode 1... will be binging tomorrow until caught up.
If you're a fan of Big Bang Theory, you can also watch Flight Attendant as a Mirror Universe sequel: Penny, having left Leonard, moves to the east coast, draws on her waitressing experience to become a flight attendant, her established drinking problem becomes worse and she returns to her pre-Leonard behaviour of sleeping around, all of which are exacerbated by her daddy issues, as her father wanted a boy and got a girl.

Just watched that last episode of season two of The Mandalorian...!

This is the Star Wars I remember as a ten year old kid, seeing the original movie in 1977 when it first came out in the theaters...

Those endings...! For any who have yet to watch it, make sure you wait all the way thru the end credits, what a cool set-up...!

And all the spin-offs we are getting, I hope they do it all right...!?!

Gawd, I can't see how anyone can stay sane watching only one episode a week. I'm currently at episode 300. The drip feeding of the storylines (Water 7 and Enies Lobby arc) is maddening. It's almost Drag-on Balls Z aggravating. I've been skipping the recap portion and jumping straight to the story. Gonna take a week off watching after I finish the Enies Lobby arc and then binge on the next arc.

So many hidden jokes and references makes this a great series. The main character with nigh unlimited flexibility stretching before a big fight. A blue nosed reindeer, no relations to the red nosed one. A long nosed liar (not made of wood) whose name, Usopp, is a pun. Uso means lie in Japanese. A swordsman named Zoro, a shout out to guy with 2 R's in his name. They're too numerous to list and I probably missed several dozen other references.

I started the new season of The Expanse and I just love this show. I feel like it would be good to go back and binge all 4 seasons. So not necessarily binging, but there is intention to binge. Not sure I’ll get the wife on board though.

The Expanse got off to a hell of a start. It kind of snuck up on me so I didn't have time to rewatch season 4 (I have seen Seasons 1-3 a couple of times though) but it was able to get back into it with the recap and then the events of the first three episodes. Avasarela is as great as ever and I'm really enjoying Amos's storyline.

The Expanse is a great show. My wife and I love it.
