Back in the mid-2010s, three seasons of Daredevil offered viewers a gritty glimpse into the darker corners of Hell's Kitchen, becoming one of the best-reviewed Marvel series ever. Thus, it came as a shock when Netflix pulled the plug on Daredevil in 2018. Since then, fans have seen Charlie Cox's portrayal of the blind superhero in lighter MCU fare, such as She-Hulk and Spider-Man: No Way Home, but the prospect of another solo series seemed unlikely. However, Marvel has surprised us all with the announcement of Daredevil: Born Again, promising more intense action and grit, even on the family-friendly Disney+ platform.
If you're eager to dive into Daredevil: Born Again or curious about the episode release schedule, you're in the right place.

What Is Daredevil: Born Again About?
Daredevil: Born Again picks up where the 2015 series left off, retaining many of the same characters and plot threads. While its place in the MCU timeline remains unclear, since the original series, Charlie Cox's Daredevil has played a significant role in The Defenders and made cameo appearances in She-Hulk and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk, Daredevil's arch-nemesis, has been featured in the Disney+ series Echo.
IGN recently explored Frank Miller's original Born Again comic arc, which inspired the title of the new show, though the series won't be a direct adaptation. Here's Marvel's official synopsis for Daredevil: Born Again:
Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened senses, continues his fight for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) pursues political power in New York. As their past identities resurface, both men find themselves on a collision course.
Will There Be a Season 2?
Originally planned as a 19-episode season, Daredevil: Born Again has been split into two parts due to the streaming format. The first season comprises nine episodes, with the second season slated to continue the story with another nine episodes. No release date has been announced yet for the second season on Disney+.
What About the Rest of 'The Defenders'?
Daredevil was a key part of The Defenders, a team-up series that followed the individual shows of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. With Daredevil's revival, there's speculation about potential comebacks for the rest of The Defenders. Marvel's head of streaming, television, and animation has mentioned they're "exploring" this possibility in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
