Here’s the description from the release:

After a sabotaged experiment leaves him with super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage (Mike Colter) becomes a fugitive who attempts to rebuild his life in modern day Harlem, New York City. But soon he is pulled out of the shadows and must fight a battle for the heart of his city – forcing him to confront a past he had tried to bury.

During the Marvel TV panel, Cheo Hodari Coker, the creator for Luke Cage, had this to say about the series: “As we well know, there aren’t a lot of African American comic heroes… Luke Cage stood out, because he was funny, he was interesting, he was strong. Even now, even though the character came out in ’72, when I think about it and I think about what’s going on right now, the world is ready for a bullet-proof black man.”

“It’s forward, it’s fun, it’s got a ’90s vibe but, at the same time, it’s very much today,” he added.

“[The show] is what I call the Wu Tang-ification of the Marvel Universe,” Coker explained. Every episode is named after a popular hip-hop song. “It’s not just in terms of the music, just also in terms of the pace, the way this fits together.”

Reprising his role as Luke Cage from last year’s Jessica Jones, actor Mike Colter said, “Luke has his own problems, and — if you watch Jessica Jones — you can tell he’s got problems he’s hiding. We have a lot of things in store for you. It’s a drama first and foremost, and it’s set in a superhero world. I can’t wait for you guys to see it.”

Luke Cage will be available on Netflix streaming service September 30th, 2016.
