Marvel fans have a bit more clarity on how Netflix plans to roll out its remaining comic book-inspired series.

Netflix president Ted Sarandos laid it out during Tuesday's Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.

“I think ideally there will be a rhythm of about every six months you’ll get a new season or a new series from the Defenders group,"Sarandos told reporters. "And then they’ll crossover into a combined [Defenders] season once we’ve launched the first season of each of the four characters."

The first in the series, "Daredevil,"premiered to good reviews back in April and then it was renewed later that same month.

"Luke Cage" will probably arrive next, since it already has a showrunner (Cheo Hodari Coker) and a star (Mike Colter).

And then finally, "Iron Fist."

The Punisher, who will debut on the second season of "Daredevil," may also get its own series, as well. Or, a movie.

“It is possible for sure. That’s the beauty of the Marvel universe,” said Sarandos on a Punisher spinoff. "Any of them could spin out into films, too.” 

Note: An earlier version of this article mistakenly stated that The Punisher was on the first season of "Daredevil."
