The revival of Daredevil on the small screen with Daredevil: Born Again will finally have its premiere on March 1, 2025, and a second season of that show has been confirmed at D23. Netflix cancelled its Daredevil series starring Charlie Cox after three seasons in 2018, and fans immediately started lobbying for the show to move to a new venue. Disney eventually relented and announced the return of Daredevil, but it was originally referred to as a “soft reboot”. But after Disney and Marvel execs saw the initial footage of the new show, they told the creative team to go back to the drawing board and pull more heavily from the original series. That led to the return of Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page and Elden Henson as Foggy Nelsen (and Jon Bernthal will be back as The Punisher) and also generated a fair amount of excitement among fans who had been stumping for the show. And now, Season 2 has been confirmed with Kevin Feige saying that it will start shooting soon. That is definitely good news as the MCU television entries have been tending to go for only a single season lately. But the Daredevil character certainly has plenty of stories to carry him for multiple seasons, and the fan support as well.
Since Daredevil: Born Again is now confirmed for the newly-started 2024-25 season, this announcement will add one more to the current Cancellation/Renewal Score. The tally presently stands at 8 renewed sci fi and fantasy entries (62% of shows tracked) vs 5 cancelled and ending (38%). You can see the breakdown of the numbers and the full list of shows for the current and prior seasons at our Cancellation Watch Page.
Daredevil: Born Again follows blind attorney Matt Murdock who had his senses enhanced from a childhood accident and has turned into the crime-fighter named Daredevil. He battles in the streets of New York City to keep the people living there safe from villains like Kingpin who seek to terrorize and control the city. It stars Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Deborah Ann Woll, and Elden Henson.
The 2024-25 season has just begun, but there are still shows from the prior year waiting for word on their fates, and I expect more announcements to come over the next month or so.
