The streaming service announced the news at the Television Centre Association's (TCA) press conference at the weekend.

The second season announcement comes a few weeks after the confirmation that Daredevil will be returning this March.
No word yet on a premiere date although Krysten Ritter will be reprising her role as the former-superhero-turned-private-investigator.
The next Marvel shows to debut on Netflix will be Luke Cage and Iron Fist with The Defenders - a series featuring all four of the superheroes - expected to start production soon.
Netflix's chief content officer Ted Santos stated that The Defender's production "will really determine" when Jessica Jones will return.
The TCAs also fuelled rumours of a Punisher series which would focus on the villainous character set to be introduced in Daredevil's upcoming season, played by Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead).
