We at Knight Edge Media have heard that a writer’s room is getting assembled for a sequel season, it has yet to be officially announced.

What this means is that IPs like Wednesday, The Sandman, One Piece, or Avatar: The Last Airbender need to be canceled first and then after a decade return home. The only time that a company was able to buy back the streaming rights was when Disney took back The Defenders saga from Netflix which included Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones for Disney+.
