So now Iron Fist has it whole main cast. In addition to Jones and Henwick, David Wenham, Jessica Stroup, and Tom Pelphrey portray Harold, Joy, and Ward Meachum, respectively.

With only five series regulars, Iron Fist has a much smaller main cast than the other Netflix series. Daredevil S1 had nine, Jessica Jones and Daredevil S2 had eight, and Luke Cage has seven. And three of Iron Fist's main characters are closely related. Davos isn't one of them, either. Maybe a number of characters were demoted from series regular to recurring to save the series some money? Maybe the Steel Serpent will be a main cast member for The Defenders but not for Iron Fist? I don't know.
