With 'The Defenders', I think they will make use if it as their version of Avengers as a means for teaming up eventually. So either it was just a one-off mini-series, or it's a thing they will hold off on and make a surprise announcement of returning later, once the follow-up seasons has established a new status-quo. Especially with the source of Jessica's powers, and establishing what happened to Matt at the end of the climax.

I don't know how streaming services like Hulu and Netflix measure their ratings in terms of viewers and such, but considering how 'Runaways' has been going, I would be really surprised (and sad, confused and mad) if that doesn't get renewed. Especially when compared to other superhero shows how it does things differently (before 'Cloak & Dagger' comes out of course).
