The first season of the American television series Daredevil: Born Again is based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Daredevil. A revival and continuation of the series Daredevil (2015–2018) by Marvel Television and Netflix, Born Again sees blind lawyer and former vigilante Matt Murdock's fight for justice put him on a collision course with former mob boss Wilson Fisk who is elected mayor of New York City. The season is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films and television series of the franchise. It was produced by Marvel Studios, via its own Marvel Television label, with Dario Scardapane as showrunner and 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 (Fisk), Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Wilson Bethel, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, Ayelet Zurer, Kamar de los Reyes, Jon Bernthal, Mohan Kapur, and Tony Dalton. Development on a new Daredevil series began by March 2022, with head writers Matt Corman and Chris Ord giving it an episodic structure and lighter tone than the original series. Born Again was announced in July 2022 with a planned 18-episode first season. Filming began in March 2023 in New York, with Michael Cuesta, Jeffrey Nachmanoff, and David Boyd directing blocks of episodes. Filming was suspended in June due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. Marvel Studios decided to overhaul the series by late September and released Corman, Ord, and the remaining directors. Scardapane, Benson, and Moorhead were hired to rework the series, adding a new pilot and two additional episodes. They also added new connecting material for the original episodes and shifted scenes around, which introduced serialized elements and more connections to the Netflix series. Filming for the nine-episode first season resumed in January 2024 and wrapped in April. Nachmanoff and Boyd returned to assist Benson and Moorhead with blending the new and old material. Cuesta, Nachmanoff, and Boyd retained credit for the episodes they directed.

The first season premiered on Disney+ on March 4, 2025, with its first two episodes, and ran for nine episodes until April 15, as part of Phase Five of the MCU. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who highlighted the character-driven storytelling and performances—particularly those of Cox and D'Onofrio—but had mixed thoughts when comparing it to the original Daredevil series. A second season was confirmed in August 2024.
