Editors' Pick

Scott Buck, who served as a showrunner for the final seasons of "Dexter" and wrote several episodes of the Showtime series, will shepherd the upcoming series. "Danny Rand is a very complicated character. He's a billionaire New York Buddhist monk martial arts superhero who's still trying to figure out what exactly that all means," said Buck. "Finn is able to play all these levels in such an honest, revelatory way that as soon as I saw him I knew he was our Danny."
