In the mid-2010s, three seasons of Daredevil captivated audiences with a gritty portrayal of Hell's Kitchen, becoming one of the highest-rated Marvel series ever. The abrupt cancellation by Netflix in 2018 came as a shock to fans. While Charlie Cox's Daredevil has since appeared 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 revived the hero with "Daredevil: Born Again," promising even more intense action and drama, now streaming on Disney+.

What Is Daredevil: Born Again About?
Daredevil: Born Again continues the story from the 2015 Daredevil series, with most characters and plot points carrying over. While its exact placement in the MCU timeline remains unclear, Charlie Cox's Daredevil has been involved in The Defenders and made appearances in She-Hulk and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Wilson Fisk, Daredevil's main antagonist, also featured in the Disney+ series Echo.
IGN recently explored Frank Miller's original Born Again comic arc, which inspired the new show's title, 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 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 due to streaming trends. The first season consists of nine episodes, with the second season set to feature the remaining nine episodes of the original arc. There's no confirmed release date yet for the second season on Disney+.
What About the Rest of 'The Defenders'?
Daredevil was part of The Defenders, which included Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, and ran for one season. With Daredevil's return, there's potential for other Defenders to make a comeback. Marvel's head of streaming, television, and animation has mentioned they are "exploring" this possibility in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
