I figured Petrie & Ramirez took a break after helming 'The Defenders'. Whatever one thinks of the end-product of that mini-series, it couldn't have been an easy thing to be in charge of.

In terms of showrunners for that show, it's kinda been like that back since when it was still in its infancy. While Drew Goddard is the creator, he left being a showrunner for season 1 to direct Sony's 'Sinister Six' movie (which never happened due to 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' flopping), and he went on to do other things. He was replaced by Steven S. DeKnight as the showrunner, but main reason DeKnight before for season 2 was also to pursue other things, eventually being writer and director for the upcoming movie 'Pacific Rim: Uprising'.

So in general, unlike with 'Jessica Jones' and 'Luke Cage', it never seemed like the showrunners would ever be set-in-stone for 'Daredevil'. Other exception being 'Iron Fist', but that was changed for the better, though even that remains to be seen with Raven Metzner heading it from now on.
