The Defenders Working Title And Director Revealed

Earlier today we revealed that Getty Images had posted new photos from the upcoming Netflix and Marvel team-up series the Defenders.

The photos feature Sigourney Weaver as the main villain, but eagle-eyed viewers might have noticed a few more key details in the images.

The clapboard slate included in the photos reveals the show’s working title, “Group Therapy,” and the director, Uta Briesewitz.

Briesewitz returns for her second foray in the Marvel Netflix Universe, having previously directed an episode of Jessica Jones (Episode 10: “AKA I’ve Got The Blues”).

Briesewitz has also directed episodes of Weeds, Orange Is The New Black, Jane the Virgin, and Fear the Walking Dead.

Without much official information to go off of, these leaks give us a little bit more illumination into the production of the Defenders. We’re sure to learn more in the coming months, including a release date.

Report stated the episode title is ‘Group Therapy’ but we previously reported that is the show’s working title.
