“Luke Cage” season 3 has yet to be confirmed and later go into production but it was said that the series will surely have its next installment continue Luke’s story. Besides, its season 2 just started airing on June 22 and it will run for 13 episodes.

The current season showed Luke Cage (Mike Colter) being recognized as a local hero in Harlem. However, his renewed popularity will lead him to face new foes like Mariah Dillard (Alfre Woodard) and the Bushmaster (Mustafa Shakir).

In any case, even if season 2 just completed its 13-episode run on Netflix, details about “Luke Cage” season 3 are available and some of them are predictions. Here is everything we know so far:

Has “Luke Cage” been renewed for a third season?

At the moment, Netflix has not confirmed anything yet with regards to the airing of “Luke Cage” season 3. Netflix’s VP of original content, Cindy Holland, said (via Deadline) when asked about the series’ next installment, “We haven’t made any firm decisions yet.”

But fans need not worry as the publication also noted that the writers for “Luke Cage” season 3 are already working on new episodes. With the plans for the new season already on the table, Deadline stated that the announcement for the show’s renewal may be coming any time.

Moreover, the publication pointed out that Netflix already renewed “Jessica Jones” and “Daredevil,” so there is a high chance that “Luke Cage” season 3 is up next to be confirmed.

Possible Air Date

Once confirmed, there may still be a bit of delay with regards to “Luke Cage” season 3’s airing. It was explained that if the production of the show begins in a few months, then the show might air around the second quarter of 2019. But, there are speculations that this release date might get delayed until early 2020.

Who Will Return in the Next Season?

“Luke Cage” season 3 will surely have Mike Colter back as the lead superhero. He is likely to work together with Simone Missick (Misty Knight) again. Plus, Theo Rossi (Shades Alvarez), Gabrielle Dennis (Tilda Johnson) and Mustafa Shakir (Bushmaster) are all coming back to reprise their roles.

As suggested by Otakukart, Finn Jones (Iron Fist) and Jessica Henwick (Colleen Wing) might possibly appear for a crossover cameo in the Marvel series. On the other hand, Rosario Dawson may not be back as she hinted that “Luke Cage” season 2 could be her last. "I don't know if I'll be back after this, to be honest, but it's been an amazing few years. I've been on a lot of different shows," she explained via Complex.

Who Will Be the Villains?

Bushmaster will still be part of the superheroes’ foes’ list in “Luke Cage” season 3. Diamondback (Erik LaRay Harvey) can return perhaps by escaping from prison and Shades will surely make life harder in Harlem as well. Lastly, it was predicted that Gideon Mace, Chemistro and Moses Magnum may potentially appear as new villains.
