The inaugural season finale of Daredevil: Born Again has officially launched on Disney+. If you have already watched all the episodes, you may be curious about the arrival of Season 2, and the news suggests that it may come faster than expected.
Daredevil: Born Again serves as a reboot of the 2015 Netflix series Daredevil, with Charlie Cox returning to portray Matt Murdock. The original show concluded its third season in October 2018, but Marvel announced the reboot during the San Diego Comic-Con in 2022, generating considerable excitement among fans. Marvel revealed plans for this revival during the event.
Taking place six years after the events of Daredevil’s third season, the series comprises nine action-packed episodes that explore Murdock’s dual role as a blind lawyer utilizing his enhanced abilities in the pursuit of justice. He faces off against former mob leader Wilson Fisk (played by Vincent D’Onofrio), who is now involved in political machinations within New York City. The entire first season is available for streaming on Disney+, including the much-anticipated finale released on April 15.
Here’s an overview of what to expect from the upcoming season, including potential release dates, script insights, returning cast members, and exciting new additions.

Indeed, Daredevil: Born Again has been confirmed for a second season, with an early renewal already in place. As of March 2025, production is actively taking place in New York City.
Initially, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed that the series would include 18 episodes; however, plans were adjusted to divide the season into two parts. Per Entertainment Weekly, the first nine episodes constitute Season 1, while additional episodes will form the basis for Season 2.
Showrunner Dario Scardapane confirmed that Season 2 will feature eight episodes, which is one less than the first season.
“From the inception of the first season, the second was already hinted at, and they are intricately connected. You’ll observe how each complements the other,” Scardapane elaborated. “While I can’t divulge too much, the conclusion of the current season lays the groundwork for Season 2 to intensify and perhaps escalate.”

Currently, an official synopsis for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 has not been published; however, both Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio, who portray Murdock and Fisk, respectively, have previewed portions of the script. In discussions with Collider, they hinted at intriguing developments ahead for viewers.
“I have gone through six of the eight episodes, and to be honest—this is not something I usually declare—I believe that the material is some of the best I’ve encountered in Daredevil,” Cox stated.
“Dario Scardapane has reenergized our show since he took over earlier in 2024, influencing the pilot and final episodes of this season. The fresh direction and depth of this new season is captivating, innovative, and has a darker resonance to it, heightening my excitement,” he added.
D’Onofrio has also reviewed the early scripts and expressed enthusiasm about the season, describing the narrative as both “highly emotional” and “intense.”
