Daredevil: Born Again season 2
Updated: 5/24/2026, 7:19:42 PM Wikipedia source
The second season of the American television series Daredevil: Born Again is based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Daredevil. It sees blind vigilante Matt Murdock / Daredevil gathering allies to resist Wilson Fisk, who is the mayor of New York City, and his Anti-Vigilante Task Force (AVTF). Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and sharing continuity with the films and television series of the franchise, Born Again is a revival and continuation of Marvel Television and Netflix's Daredevil (2015–2018). The season was produced by Marvel Studios under its own Marvel Television label, with Dario Scardapane as showrunner and Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead as lead directors. Charlie Cox reprises his role as Matt Murdock / Daredevil from Marvel's Netflix television series and prior Marvel Studios productions, starring alongside Vincent D'Onofrio (Fisk), Deborah Ann Woll, Margarita Levieva, Tony Dalton, Michael Gandolfini, Nikki M. James, Arty Froushan, Genneya Walton, Zabryna Guevara, Clark Johnson, Ayelet Zurer, Wilson Bethel, and Elden Henson, all returning from the first season. They are joined by Matthew Lillard, Lili Taylor, Toby Leonard Moore, and Krysten Ritter. Development on a new Daredevil series began by March 2022, and Born Again was announced in July 2022 with a planned 18-episode first season. Marvel Studios decided to overhaul the series by late September 2023, after filming began. Scardapane, Benson, and Moorhead were hired to rework the series, and the planned 18 episodes were split into two seasons. Filming for the second season took place from February to July 2025 in New York, with Solvan "Slick" Naim, Angela Barnes, and Iain B. MacDonald also directing episodes. The second season premiered on the streaming service Disney+ on March 24, 2026, and ran for eight episodes until May 5 as part of Phase Six of the MCU. Viewership was reported to be around half as much as the first season, but reviews from critics were positive and praised the season as an improvement over the first and one of the best projects from Marvel Television, highlighting the action and performances, including those of Cox and D'Onofrio. A third season was confirmed in September 2025.
