In the mid-2010s, three seasons of Daredevil captivated audiences with a gritty portrayal of Hell's Kitchen, earning it the title of one of the best-reviewed Marvel series. Its cancellation by Netflix in 2018 came as a surprise to many fans. While Charlie Cox reprised his role as Daredevil in lighter MCU projects like She-Hulk and Spider-Man: No Way Home, the prospect of a new solo series seemed unlikely. However, Marvel has brought Daredevil back to life with "Daredevil: Born Again," promising an even grittier and action-packed experience, now streaming on Disney+.
If you're eager to dive into the new series or need the full episode release schedule, here's everything you need to know.

What Is Daredevil: Born Again About?
Daredevil: Born Again continues the story from the 2015 series, with most characters and plot points carrying over. While its exact place in the MCU timeline remains unclear, Charlie Cox's Daredevil has been featured in The Defenders, She-Hulk, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Wilson Fisk appeared in the Disney+ series Echo.
Inspired by Frank Miller's original "Born Again" arc, the new series isn't a direct adaptation. Here's Marvel's official synopsis:
Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened abilities, fights for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) pursues political ambitions 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 for the streaming era. The first season comprises nine episodes, with the second season set to feature the remaining nine. No release date has been announced for Season 2 on Disney+ yet.
What About the Rest of 'The Defenders'?
Daredevil was part of The Defenders, which also included Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. With Daredevil's revival, there's potential for the return of other Defenders. Marvel's head of streaming, television, and animation has mentioned they are "exploring" this possibility in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
