The unexpected cancellation of Netflix’s hit Marvel series Daredevil in 2018 shocked fans. Despite not being officially integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the show stood out as one of the franchise’s most compelling projects. Unlike Marvel’s larger-than-life superhero sagas, Daredevil brought a grounded, intense narrative that resonated with audiences. With Charlie Cox leading as the blind vigilante Matt Murdock, the series explored street-level crime while offering a refreshing deviation from traditional superhero storytelling.

When Netflix discontinued Daredevil along with the rest of the Defenders universe, it seemed like the end of the road for these characters. However, Marvel recognized their potential. Now, after a long wait, Cox is back as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. While Daredevil: Born Again isn’t a direct continuation of the original series, it is the closest thing to a fourth season. Here’s everything you need to know about the highly anticipated premiere, including its release date, storyline, and cast details.
When Will Daredevil: Born Again Premiere?
Unlike earlier Disney+ series, which predominantly premiered on Wednesdays, Daredevil: Born Again is set for a Tuesday night release schedule. The series will debut with a two-episode premiere on March 4, followed by weekly releases until the season finale on April 22.
What Time Will Daredevil: Born Again Be Available?
Disney+ has allocated a primetime slot for the series, with new episodes premiering every Tuesday at 9:00 PM EST (6:00 PM PST).
Is There a Trailer for Daredevil: Born Again?
Yes! Though Marvel initially showcased select footage at Comic-Con and D23 in 2024, it took some time for an official trailer to be released. Fans got their first proper look at the series last October, with a full-length trailer dropping in January 2025.
What’s the Storyline of Daredevil: Born Again?
Set approximately five years after the conclusion of Netflix’s Daredevil, Born Again follows Matt Murdock, a blind attorney with enhanced abilities, as he fights for justice through his thriving law firm. Meanwhile, his longtime adversary, Wilson Fisk, has transitioned from a feared crime boss to a powerful political figure in New York. As their pasts begin to resurface, the stage is set for an inevitable showdown between the two.
Since the events of Daredevil Season 3, Matt Murdock has distanced himself from his vigilante alter ego. On the other hand, Fisk has seemingly abandoned his criminal empire to enter politics. When the series picks up, Fisk has ascended to the position of mayor, setting up new challenges for Murdock and likely pushing him back into his Daredevil persona.
Who is in the Cast of Daredevil: Born Again?
The series reunites several beloved actors from the original Netflix show. Charlie Cox reprises his role as Daredevil, alongside Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk. Additionally, Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page) and Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson) return as Matt’s closest allies. Fans can also expect the return of Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher, Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Poindexter/Bullseye, and Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk.
Several new characters will make their debut in the series, including:
- Kirsten McDuffie (Nikki M. James) – A former New York City District Attorney
- Heather Glenn (Margarita Levieva) – A therapist and Matt’s new love interest
- White Tiger (Kamar de los Reyes) – A potential adversary for both Daredevil and The Punisher
- BB Urich (Genneya Walton) – A journalist carrying on Ben Urich’s legacy
- Daniel Blake (Michael Gandolfini) – A character rumored to be Wilson Fisk’s protégé
How Many Episodes Will Daredevil: Born Again Have?
Initially planned as an 18-episode season, Born Again underwent creative restructuring and will now consist of nine episodes—aligning more closely with the format of the 2015 series.
Will There Be a Second Season?
Yes! Even before its premiere, Daredevil: Born Again has been renewed for another season. By the time the show debuts on March 4, production for Season 2 will already be underway. Moreover, Marvel has additional plans in store, including a Disney+ special featuring Jon Bernthal’s Punisher. With fans eagerly awaiting Daredevil’s full-fledged return, the revival of Hell’s Kitchen’s guardian is only just beginning.
