Daredevil: Born Again season 2 release date window and latest news

The character debuted in live-action via her self-titled Netflix series, which also featured the first appearance of Mike Colter's Luke Cage, prior to his own solo series.

Eventually, she met Charlie Cox's Daredevil in crossover miniseries The Defenders, which saw them face down a threat to New York City from The Hand's leader Alexandra (Sigourney Weaver) and their living weapon Elektra (Élodie Yung).

Presumably, the declaration of martial law by Mayor Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) will be what spurs the jaded Jessica Jones back into frontline heroism, with Matt Murdock seen assembling a small resistance force in the season 1 finale.

If you're excited, read on for everything we know so far about Daredevil: Born Again season 2.

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 release date window

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is set to premiere in March 2026.

Showrunner Dario Scardapane took to social media to celebrate the release of the season 1 finale, but also revealed when fans could expect the return of the Marvel series.

"It’s all led up to this… Such a mix of emotions as we close out [season 1]," penned Scardapane. "So grateful for the cast, crew and studio for their confidence and indulgence.

"Biggest of thanks to [cast and producers] Sana, Brad, Kevin, Lou, Aaron, Justin, Charlie, Vincent, Deb, Jon and the whole mad circus. And yeah, season 2 [in] March 2026."

Filming commenced in February 2025 and is currently scheduled to wrap in July.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel's head of television Brad Winderbaum hinted that there could be much more from Born Again beyond season 2.

The producer expressed satisfaction with the show's viewing figures, which have not been publicly disclosed, amid concern that it has failed to rank so far in the top ten streaming programmes monitored by US firm Nielsen.

Countering fears that Born Again had underperformed, Winderbaum said that the gritty drama's ratings had given him "confidence of making the show annually into the future".

That said, season 3 hasn't been officially ordered just yet, so Marvel may well be waiting to see if the next chapter can notably build upon the first.

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 cast – new and returning

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will see the return of Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio as superhero lawyer Matt Murdock and his crime boss nemesis Wilson Fisk.

In May 2025, after much speculation, it was confirmed that Daredevil will have some added muscle on his side as he fights back against the Kingpin, with Krysten Ritter set to reprise her role as empowered detective Jessica Jones.

On whether any other stars from The Defenders era could pop up, producer Brad Winderbaum said that "the story has to lead the path," as opposed to "rushing" to bring everyone back in a messy, forced manner (via THR).

Several other Born Again cast members are also reportedly returning for season 2, including Genneya Walton as journalist BB Urich, Clark Johnson as retired detective Cherry and Michael Gandolfini as Kingpin's loyal mentee Daniel Blake.

Deborah Ann Woll and Wilson Bethel, who debuted in the preceding Netflix series, are also listed in the season 2 cast, alongside Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson – which invites some major questions.

Matt Murdock's longtime best friend and business partner was, of course, gunned down in the season 1 premiere, so presumably his continued involvement in the series will be via flashbacks to happier times.

Cox has been seen filming alongside Bethel's Bullseye and sporting a new Daredevil costume too, while Woll has been seen as Karen wearing a red wig.

We also fully expect Ayelet Zurer to reprise her role as Foggy's killer Vanessa Fisk, given her survival of season 1 and firm alignment with husband, Wilson.

In March 2025, two major new additions were announced for the Daredevil: Born Again cast, with Scream and Scooby Doo icon Matthew Lillard signing on alongside The Conjuring and Hemlock Grove alum Lili Taylor.

It appears that Jon Bernthal may not be reprising his role in Born Again season 2, but don't worry: the actor will lead a one-off special for Disney+ as his gritty and remorseless antihero Frank Castle aka the Punisher.

An actor we definitely won't be seeing after that grisly season 1 finale is Michael Gaston's Commissioner Gallo, who was gruesomely murdered by Kingpin after daring to oppose his corrupt rule.

In summary, here's the reported cast of Daredevil: Born Again season 2 so far:

• Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil
• Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk / Kingpin
• Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page
• Elden Henson as Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson
• Wilson Bethel as Benjamin 'Dex' Poindexter / Bullseye
• Genneya Walton as BB Urich
• Clark Johnson as Cherry
• Michael Gandolfini as Daniel Blake
• Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones
• Matthew Lillard as TBC
• Lili Taylor as TBC
• Sydney Parra as TBC
• Annie Parisse as TBC
• James Armstrong as TBC
• Susan Varon as Josie

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 plot speculation

There's no word yet on precisely what will happen in Daredevil: Born Again season 2, but naturally, the show will be dealing with all the fallout from the first season's dramatic finale.

Showrunner Scardapane previously hinted to RadioTimes.com that season 2 will pick up right after season 1.

He said of season 1: "The first couple of episodes really do set the table in a great way, but the last two take you to a place that sets up season 2. Season 1 is part one, season 2 is, without a doubt, part 2. A

"And I get goosebumps at the end of season 1. We tell the audience that something is coming in a way that is pretty exciting."

It seems that Wilson Fisk will still be attempting to tighten his grip on New York City as its mayor, with Deadline reporting that new cast addition Lili Taylor will be playing one of his political opponents.

The first season of Born Again brought Jon Bernthal's the Punisher back into mainline Marvel continuity – and fans have called for more characters from the Netflix era to join him, most notably Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones and Mike Colter's Luke Cage.

Unfortunately, Ritter has previously played down rumours of her return to the role, acknowledging that she'd love the opportunity but has yet to be asked by any execs at Marvel Studios (via CBS).

As for the Punisher himself, he was last seen escaping from Fisk's captivity in the Born Again post-credits scene, although this may be setting up the character's one-off Disney+ special as opposed to a season 2 storyline.

In an interview with Variety, Kingpin actor Vincent D'Onofrio said that Frank Castle's ongoing war on crime is currently only a "small part" of the next season, suggesting that the bulk of his story is being saved for the aforementioned solo project.

D'Onofrio was also quizzed on whether Born Again season could take inspiration from a comic book storyline titled Shadowland, in which Matt Murdock dons a black suit, takes over The Hand and seemingly gives into his darkest tendencies.

"That’s a very good question. I don’t know if I can answer that question. But it’s a good one. You’re obviously following the story in a good way," the actor responded, cryptically.

How many episodes will Daredevil: Born Again consist of?

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will consist of eight episodes - one fewer than season 1.
