Questions about Daredevil: Born Again
Short answers, pulled from the story.
Why was Daredevil: Born Again overhauled during production?
Marvel Studios screened the first six filmed episodes in late September 2023 and concluded the series was not working. The original version, developed by head writers Matt Corman and Chris Ord, used an episodic, procedural structure that diverged significantly from the Netflix Daredevil, including that Charlie Cox did not appear in costume as Daredevil until the fourth episode. Showrunner Dario Scardapane was hired in October 2023 to rebuild the series as a serialized continuation of the Netflix original.
Who plays Daredevil and Kingpin in Born Again?
Charlie Cox plays Matt Murdock / Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio plays Wilson Fisk / Kingpin, both reprising roles from the Netflix series Daredevil (2015-2018). Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige insisted on bringing both actors back, saying they were as "inextricably linked" to their characters as Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans were to Iron Man and Captain America.
Is Daredevil: Born Again connected to the Netflix Daredevil series?
Yes. Following a creative overhaul in late 2023, Born Again was redesigned as a direct continuation of Netflix's Daredevil (2015-2018). Marvel Studios also retroactively placed all the Marvel Netflix series in the official MCU timeline on Disney+. Characters including Karen Page, Foggy Nelson, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist have returned across the seasons.
How many seasons of Daredevil: Born Again are planned?
Three seasons have been confirmed. The nine-episode first season premiered in March 2025, the eight-episode second in March 2026, and a third season is set for March 2027. Marvel Studios head of streaming Brad Winderbaum said in May 2025 that the studio intended to release the series annually, ideally each March.
What comic book run inspired the third season of Daredevil: Born Again?
The third season draws from "The Devil in Cell Block D," published in Daredevil vol. 2, issues 82 through 87, in 2006. It opens with Murdock in jail after publicly revealing he is Daredevil at the end of the second season, while Fisk goes into exile.
