What happens

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) from Marvel Studios and was produced under its Marvel Television label. The series shares continuity with the films and television series of the MCU. 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, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, Ayelet Zurer, and Tony Dalton. Kamar de los Reyes, Jon Bernthal, and Mohan Kapur also star in the first season, while Matthew Lillard, Lili Taylor, Toby Leonard Moore, and Krysten Ritter join the cast for the second season, and Mike Colter, Finn Jones, and Élodie Yung join for the third season. Following the cancellation of Daredevil in 2018, Cox and D'Onofrio reprised their roles for Marvel Studios 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 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 series more serialized and directly connected to the Netflix series. The planned 18 episodes were split into two seasons. Filming occurs in New York. Daredevil: Born Again premiered on Disney+ on March 4, 2025, and the nine-episode first season was released through April as part of Phase Five of the MCU. It received positive reviews from critics, although the seams of the creative overhaul were noted. The eight-episode second season was released from March to May 2026, and was seen as an improvement over the first by critics. It was followed by the Marvel Television Special Presentation television special The Punisher: One Last Kill which stars Bernthal and was conceived during filming of the first season. A third season is in production and set to premiere in March 2027. All three are part of Phase Six of the MCU. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
