Daredevil: Born Again release schedule – When is episode 5 on Disney Plus?

However, there had been some concern that the character would be watered down in the move to Disney Plus, particularly after more light-hearted appearances from Kingpin (in Hawkeye) and Daredevil (in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law).

Now, The Bear star Bernthal has revealed that he did see a risk of the character being mishandled initially, but came around to appearing in Born Again after the show's major creative overhaul partway through production.

"It was like, 'Let's see if this works,'" he told Entertainment Weekly on his decision to come aboard.

"Let's see if there's a real openness and a hunger to let Frank be what Frank is, which is dark enough to have the courage and the boldness to turn your back on the audience and to make it difficult, to make it enormously psychologically complex and to steer away from any cuteness or humour and to really go full bore."

The Punisher's appearance in Born Again has been described by Bernthal as "just a toe dip", but the character will once again be spinning out into his own "Special Presentation" (in the vein of Werewolf by Night and the Guardians Holiday Special).

If you're excited to find out what's coming up next for the horn-headed vigilante, read on for when you can expect the next episodes of Daredevil: Born Again to hit Disney Plus.

When is Daredevil: Born Again episode 5 on Disney Plus?

Daredevil: Born Again episodes 5 and 6 will be released on Disney Plus UK at 2am (GMT) on Wednesday 26th March 2025. It's the first double-bill since the show's initial premiere, but precisely what's in store remains a mystery.

Confusingly for UK-based fans, the show is debuting in the United States on Tuesday evenings at 6pm (PT) / 9pm (ET), but don't be alarmed – it is technically still a simultaneous worldwide release, owing to time zone differences.

Of course, it does beg the question of when exactly will be the safest time to watch the show for those fans desperately trying to avoid spoilers, with most viewers probably unable to pull an all-nighter.

Perhaps you would be wise to stay off social media until you get a chance to tune in – or scroll at your peril!

How many episodes are in Daredevil: Born Again?

Daredevil: Born Again season 1 will consist of nine episodes in total.

However, the story will continue in a nine-episode second season, which brings the Marvel revival to the 18-part runtime initially reported when it was announced – all the way back in July 2022.

Daredevil: Born Again release schedule

Daredevil: Born Again is following a rather inconsistent release pattern: starting with a double-bill, it then switches to one episode per week, before another double-bill for episodes 5 and 6.

Episodes 7 through 9 do not yet have confirmed release dates, with one possibility being that Marvel will squeeze another double-bill into the rollout – although that's just speculation for now.
