Netflix has canceled Marvel’s Luke Cage ahead of an expected Season 3 order. The decision, Deadline reports, stemmed from creative differences between the creative team and higher-ups at both Netflix and Marvel.

Over the course of one year, an average of 10 million women and men are physically abused by an intimate partner in the U.S.
Domestic violence can take the form of physical, psychological, or economic abuse, and it is a national issue that affects people of all ages and genders, though the majority of victims are women. Survivors do not report abuse for many reasons, including fear of gaslighting. Despite years of progress, domestic violence remains a silent epidemic.
“The first step in supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and all forms of violence and discrimination, is to listen to them and believe them,” said Ted Bunch, co-founder and chief development officer of A Call To Men, a violence prevention organization that teaches men and boys to redefine masculinity.
