Marvel Television’s Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Sets March 24, 2026 Premiere on Disney+

Time to dance with the Devil.

Marvel Television has officially confirmed that Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 will premiere on March 24, 2026, exclusively on Disney+. With eight new episodes, the upcoming season pushes Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk toward an unavoidable collision — one that will decide the future of New York City itself.

Set firmly within Phase Six of the MCU, Season 2 continues the darker, street-level storytelling that made Daredevil one of Marvel’s most acclaimed television properties.

Matt Murdock vs. Mayor Fisk: Power, Control, and Consequences

Season 2 raises the stakes by placing Wilson Fisk in his most dangerous position yet — not as a crime lord in the shadows, but as Mayor of New York City. His Anti-Vigilante Task Force (AVTF) now operates with legal authority, turning masked heroes into public enemies.

Standing in opposition is Matt Murdock, forced to unite old allies and new ones as Daredevil’s war with Fisk evolves from alleyways into city hall.

This isn’t just hero versus villain anymore .

It’s justice versus power, and both sides believe the city belongs to them.

A Direct Continuation of the Netflix-Era Daredevil

Daredevil: Born Again is not a reboot — it’s a revival and continuation of Marvel’s Netflix-era Daredevil (2015–2018), fully integrated into MCU canon.

Charlie Cox returns as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, with Vincent D'Onofrio once again portraying Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. Their rivalry remains one of Marvel’s most psychologically charged relationships, and Season 2 is built entirely around its escalation.

Krysten Ritter Joins the Fight

One of the biggest additions to Season 2 is Krysten Ritter, reprising her role as Jessica Jones. Her inclusion signals Marvel’s growing commitment to reuniting the Defenders-era characters under the MCU banner.

Her return adds emotional weight and unpredictability, especially as Fisk’s AVTF tightens its grip on vigilantes across the city.

Returning Cast and Expanding Alliances

Season 2 brings back a strong ensemble, including:

• Deborah Ann Woll

• Elden Henson

• Wilson Bethel

• Zabryna Guevara

• Margarita Levieva

• Tony Dalton

• Ayelet Zurer

Each character is expected to play a role in the growing resistance against Fisk’s regime — blurring the line between lawful authority and moral justice.

Behind the Scenes: A Creative Overhaul That Changed Everything

Originally planned as an 18-episode single season, Born Again underwent a major creative overhaul in late 2023. Marvel Studios split the story into two seasons, bringing in Dario Scardapane as showrunner and Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead as lead directors.

The result? A sharper tone, tighter narrative focus, and a return to the grounded intensity fans associate with Daredevil.

Filming for Season 2 wrapped in New York City between February and July 2025, reinforcing the series’ gritty, lived-in atmosphere.

Episode Count and MCU Placement

• Episodes: 8

• Premiere Date: March 24, 2026

• Platform: Disney+

• MCU Phase: Phase Six

Marvel has already confirmed that a third season is in development, underscoring the studio’s long-term confidence in Daredevil’s place within the MCU.

Why Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Matters

Season 2 isn’t just another Marvel release — it represents a turning point for street-level storytelling in the MCU. With Fisk operating in plain sight and Daredevil forced into open rebellion, the series tackles themes of authoritarianism, corruption, and the cost of resistance.

This is Marvel at its most grounded — and arguably its most dangerous.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 promises a brutal, emotionally charged showdown where power is legal, justice is criminalized, and the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen has nowhere left to hide.
