Daredevil: Born Again is an American television series created by Dario Scardapane and Matt Corman & Chris Ord for the streaming service Disney+, based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Daredevil. It is the 13th television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) produced by Marvel Studios, via its Marvel Television label, sharing continuity with the films and television series of the franchise. Born Again is a revival and continuation of Daredevil (2015–2018), an earlier series produced by the previous Marvel Television production company and originally released on Netflix. Scardapane serves as showrunner with Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead as lead directors.
Charlie Cox reprises his role as Matt Murdock / Daredevil from Marvel's Netflix television series and prior Marvel Studios productions, starring alongside Vincent D'Onofrio, Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Wilson Bethel, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, Ayelet Zurer, and Jon Bernthal. Zabryna Guevara, Arty Froushan, Kamar de los Reyes, Mohan Kapur, and Tony Dalton also star in the first season, while Krysten Ritter joins the cast for the second season.
Following the cancellation of Daredevil in 2018, Cox and D'Onofrio reprised their roles for Marvel Studios projects starting in 2021. A new Daredevil series entered development in early 2022, with Corman and Ord attached as head writers by that May. They gave the series an episodic structure and lighter tone than the Netflix series. Born Again was announced in July 2022 with a planned 18-episode first season. The subtitle references the 1986 comic book storyline "Born Again" by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, but the series does not directly adapt that storyline. Marvel Studios decided to overhaul the series by late September 2023 and released Corman and Ord. Scardapane, Benson, and Moorhead were hired the following month to make the approach more serialized and directly connected to the Netflix series. Initial directors Michael Cuesta, Jeffrey Nachmanoff, and David Boyd were credited for their episodes, with Nachmanoff and Boyd returning to film additional material. The planned 18-episode season was split into two seasons. Filming occurs in New York.
Daredevil: Born Again premiered on Disney+ on March 4, 2025, with its first two episodes. The first season consists of nine episodes, and is part of Phase Five of the MCU. It received positive reviews from critics. The second season is set to premiere in March 2026 and will consist of eight episodes. An untitled Punisher television special, starring Bernthal and conceived during the filming of the first season, is also set to premiere in 2026 under the Marvel Studios Special Presentations banner. Both will be part of Phase Six of the MCU.
