Marvel Studios has confirmed that Daredevil: Born Again will return for a third season, with cameras set to roll in early 2026. The announcement ends months of speculation over the show's future, following mixed signals from cast members and executives.
Brad Winderbaum, Marvel's head of streaming, television and animation, revealed the news in an interview with IGN. "In terms of Daredevil, yeah, we are greenlit for Season 3 and we start shooting next year," he said, clarifying earlier confusion after Charlie Cox, who plays Matt Murdock, mistakenly suggested the second season would be the show's last.
The Disney+ revival has been closely watched since its debut in March 2025, bringing back Cox as the blind lawyer-turned-vigilante and Vincent D'Onofrio as crime boss Wilson Fisk, better known as Kingpin.
The series initially launched as a partial reboot of Netflix's acclaimed Daredevil, before Marvel shifted gears mid-production to more directly continue the original storyline. The adjustment followed fan and cast feedback, with new pilot and finale episodes produced to tie the show closer to its roots.
The first season drew largely positive reviews despite its uneven production history, and currently holds an 87% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Variety praised the series as "a brilliantly detailed continuation," highlighting its darker, more character-driven tone.
Season 2, slated for release in early 2026, will be the first written entirely under Born Again's retooled creative direction. Fans can expect more familiar faces, including Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page and Wilson Bethel as Bullseye, while Jon Bernthal reprises his role as Frank Castle/The Punisher. Bernthal is also set to headline a separate one-off TV special centred on the Punisher later that year.
With its renewal, Born Again becomes the first live-action Marvel Studios series to reach a third season on Disney+, marking a significant milestone for the studio's television arm. Dario Scardapane serves as showrunner, with directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead among those shaping the upcoming episodes.
For Marvel, the decision signals confidence in Daredevil's enduring appeal as the studio recalibrates its small-screen strategy following uneven reactions to other Phase Five projects. For fans, it means at least one more round of Hell's Kitchen grit - and more courtroom drama by day, brutal justice by night.
