It is intended to be the 13th television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) produced by Marvel Studios, via its Marvel Television label, sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. It will be the second series centered on the character following Daredevil (2015–2018) by the previous Marvel Television production company and Netflix. Scardapane serves as showrunner with 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, with Vincent D'Onofrio, Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, Ayelet Zurer, Jon Bernthal, Wilson Bethel, and Jeremy Earl also starring. Development of the series began by March 2022. Corman and Ord were hired as head writers by May, and gave the series an episodic structure and lighter tone than the Netflix series. Born Again was announced in July with a planned 18-episode first season. The series' name references the "Born Again" comic book storyline by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. Filming began in early March 2023 in New York, but was suspended in June due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. Dario Scardapane, a writer on Netflix's Daredevil spin-off series The Punisher, was hired to serve as showrunner for Born Again in October 2023. This came after Marvel changed its approach to television production to have more traditional showrunners rather than head writers.[65] Scardapane was set to write new episodes as well as new scenes to fit with the pre-existing footage. 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), Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Wilson Bethel, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, Ayelet Zurer, and Tony Dalton, all returning from the first season. They are joined by 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 Naim, Angela Barnes, and Iain B. MacDonald also directing episodes. The second season is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on March 24, 2026, and will consist of eight episodes. It will be part of Phase Six of the MCU. A third season was confirmed in September 2025. #daredevil #daredevilbornagain #philipsilvera #daredevilbornagainseason2 #netflix #mattmurdock #darioscarpapane #aaronmoorhead #justinbenson #charliecox #bullseye #wilsonbethel #marvel #marvelstudios
