Blade (Earth-11584) Season 1

Blade is a Netflix exclusive television series set in the Earth-11584 continuity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Released in January 2016, it is the fourth such collaboration between Marvel Studios and Netflix, though it is the first that does not appear to tie directly into the ongoing story building to 2017's The Defenders. The series stars Trevonte Rhodes as the titular vampire hunter as he seeks to kill an ancient evil plaguing the homeless population of New York. This is the third iteration of the Marvel Comics character, following a trilogy of movies starring Wesley Snipes and a one-season series on Spike TV in 2006.

Synopsis
The darkness is breeding in New York, but not just on the streets of Harlem or the back alleyways of Hell's Kitchen. In the Brooklyn neighborhood of Flatbush and the surrounding areas, an ancient evil has arrived seeking some kind of release. It is into this environment that the vampire hunter Blade, the legendary Daywalker, has arrived to hunt down the creatures of the night. However, Blade harbors a dark secret, and this ancient evil may in fact be the key to curing Blade of his curse and allowing him to live a normal life. One man's desire for basic humanity will clash with his responsibility as the fate of New York hangs in the balance.
