The final episode of Daredevil: Born Again season 1 brought the bloody brutality that fans were hoping for, but the story is far from over. Filming for season 2 was confirmed by executive producer and Marvel Studios’ Head of Streaming, Brad Winderbaum, to Screen Rant back in February. Since then, there has been more major news about the future of the show, after many fans believed season 2 would be the last. When will Daredevil: Born Again season 2 be released? Daredevil: Born Again will hit Disney+ in March 2026 , and the exact release date may have been accidentally leaked by the House of Mouse. On the press site, Disney listed 4 March 2026. This date has since been erased. It could just be placeholder information – we should learn more in the coming months.

In these we can see Matt meeting with his former Defender teammate, Jessica Jones, Karen Page in a disguise (presumably from being on the run), and Vanessa and Fisk meeting with some important players in New York City – Governor Marge McCaffrey, and the new antagonist, Mr. Charles: Entertainment Weekly© has officially released new stills from #DaredevilBornAgain : Season II Coming March 4, 2026. pic.twitter.com/HdYX01lMA0 — Jordan Jones (@jordnjnes) December 18, 2025 How many episodes will Daredevil: Born Again season 2 have? Season 2 of Born Again will feature eight episodes… but there’s something else on the way – a Punisher one-shot special. While no release date has been confirmed for Frank Castle’s solo outing, rumours suggest it will arrive after season 2 – possibly setting up for the character’s appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Disney Who’s starring in Daredevil: Born Again season 2? Charlie Cox will return as Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, and Vincent D’Onofrio will again star as Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin. According to Phase Hero, Deborah Ann Woll will return as Karen Page, as will (surprisingly) Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson. We assume this will be via a flashback. Karen and Foggy will both return in Season 2 of #DaredevilBornAgain . "Without going into spoiler territory, I will day that both Deborah and Elden are coming back for Season 2."

While we’ve not heard anything about Ayelet Zurer , who plays Vanessa Marianna-Fisk, we’d be very surprised if she doesn’t also return. The same goes for Margarita Levieva as Matt Murdock’s girlfriend, Heather Glenn – her new role in the Kingpin’s cabinet may be a source of contention for her partner. We’d also expect Nikki M. James to return as Kirsten McDuffie, Matt’s law partner. The same goes for detective and private investigator Cherry, played by Clark Johnson. Actress Krysten Ritter has been officially confirmed to return as Jessica Jones, one of the Defenders and another Marvel vigilante with her own Netflix series. View this post on Instagram If that is true, it’s unclear whether we’ll also see the return of Mike Colter as Luke Cage and Finn Jones as Danny Rand/Iron Fist. However, both were seen in New York City around the time of filming. We may also see the return of Camila Rodriguez ’ Angela Ayala, and Genneya Walton as reporter, BB Urich. Both women have justified reasons to come after Fisk. Newcomers to the cast include Matthew Lilliard . According to Winderbaum , he’ll be playing a character called Mr. Charles – and he may prove to be a real thorn in the side of Matt: “…he’s as influential, in many ways, as Fisk is… That power negotiation at a very high level of politics and international diplomacy is also fun to watch. [Fisk] is dealing with Mr. Charles up here and Daredevil [Charlie Cox] down here for different reasons. So he’s getting squeezed a little bit.” Lili Taylor is also reported to be joining the cast as a rival of Fisk’s in local government. One person we won’t be seeing back is Jon Bernthal as Punisher. While the character will have his own dedicated special, producer Sana Amanat told Empire Magazine that the character won’t be back for Born Again . That is a shame considering the dynamic he brought to the show with Matt, but it’s to be expected given the expansion of the cast. What is the plot of Daredevil: Born Again season 2? In season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again, ultimately, Fisk won. After gradually manipulating the local government and police into doing his bidding, he set up the perfect excuse to outlaw vigilantism in New York City for good, with the area being held under Martial Law. Mayor Kingpin’s new ban on vigilantes will present a huge problem for superheroes. Matt Murdock will almost certainly be the first to feel the heat, but this could have even wider repercussions for the MCU, with heroes such as Peter Parker and Kate Bishop also affected. Marvel Television Potential threats of his are quite literally locked away in cages… though the post-credits scene revealed that iron bars aren’t enough to hold the Punisher back, with Frank hitting a security guard and (presumably) fighting his way out. However, his story will be saved for the Punisher special. As for Matt, he’s finally embraced his alter ego of Daredevil, after struggling with his morals throughout the season. He’s ready to take a stand against Fisk once again, and this time, he’s looking for an army. He already has Karen at his back, along with Cherry, Josie and Kirsten… but is this discussion of an army a hint that the Defenders are returning? We may also see Angela Ayala take on the persona of the White Tiger, in honour of her late uncle. Though Matt has the longest-standing feud with Fisk, it’s Vanessa who put the hit out on Foggy Nelson. Will he take the chance at revenge if the opportunity presents itself? That could be the case, as Vincent D’Onofrio revealed to IGN that he had a very intense reaction to the scripts for season 2: “There’s already information about what we’re about to start shooting in the second season that I had to have a little cry about… So it’s quite something. This show can be quite intense as an actor.” Matt and Heather’s relationship was on the rocks, with the lawyer not willing to be honest about his true identity. To complicate things further, there seemed to be a lot of romantic tension between Matt and Karen – something that could be explored further in season two. Marvel 2024 / Giovanni Rufino One other rumour from Screen Rant (following leaked set photos) seems to imply that the show may take some inspiration from the arc Shadowlands, with Matt annexing off part of the city – most likely Hell’s Kitchen – to put under his own vigilante law and continue to operate despite Mayor Fisk cracking down on the city. Will there be a season 3 of Daredevil: Born Again? Brad Winderbaum has now officially confirmed to IGN that Daredevil: Born Again will return for season 3: “In terms of Daredevil, yeah, we are greenlit for Season 3 and we start shooting next year,” Charlie Cox had initially cast some doubt over the show’s future after saying that season 2 could be the last, so this is a relief. It also implies that the Kingpin won’t be fully taken down in season 2, which could provide hope about the villain eventually facing off against his true nemesis from the comics, Spider-Man .
