'Luke Cage's Mike Colter On Season 2: 'The Stakes Have Risen'

Mike Colter poses alongside his co-stars Alfre Woodard, Theo Rossi and Mustafa Shakir while visiting the Build series to discuss their hit Netflix series Luke Cage at the Build Studio on Wednesday (June 20) in New York City.

“This season, the stakes have risen because Luke’s expected to be a leader in a community that has a lot of problems,” series lead Mike told Variety.

“In his way are people who think they should be able to rule Harlem as a queen, as Mariah [Dillard] would call it, whereas Luke looks at that more as a dictatorship. He sees Harlem as a democracy,” Luke continued. “It’s a completely different way of doing things, so that’s going to come to a head.”

The latest season of the series is set to premiere globally on Netflix on June 22 – Watch the final trailer here!
