Charlie Cox recently created some confusion among fans as he called season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again , the “final season” at GalaxyCon. Cox later apologized for his comment stating that season 2 would not be the final season. His co-star Vincent D’Onofrio also refuted that claim, initially stating that there would be a good chance of season 3 happening. Sources tell Nexus Point News that Daredevil: Born Again is expected to continue through at least a third season, depending on the reception of season 2. Season 2 of the series wrapped production in July of this year and is currently in post-production and eyeing a Spring 2026 release. Although season 2 is several months away, Marvel Studios has already begun prepping for a potential renewal and is aiming to begin production on season 3 in March 2026 and shoot through the Summer, similar to season 2’s production schedule. Cox and D’Onofrio’s contracts indicate that they have both signed on for three seasons. Following season 3’s release, their contracts for the series will be up and will need to be renegotiated pending the status and reception of the series. Daredevil: Born Again  season 1 premiered on March 4, 2025 on Disney+ following a rocky production. Shooting began in 2023 and was halted by the WGA strike which led to the series being reevaluated and overhauled. This delayed the series by almost a year and led to scenes and even whole episodes being reshot. Dario Scardapane joined the series as showrunner following the overhaul with Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead as the lead directors. Scardapane, Benson, and Moorhead returned for season 2 of the series, which thankfully experienced a much smoother production.

Charlie Cox returns as the titular character, Matt Murdock/Daredevil, with Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk, Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Poindexter/Bullseye, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/Punisher, and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. Krysten Ritter is set to reprise her role as Jessica Jones in season 2. Bernthal will also reprise his role as the Punisher in a Punisher-led Special Presentation, co-written by Bernthal and Reinaldo Marcus Green and directed by Green, in 2026 which will bridge the gap of season 1 and 2. Season 2 will feature Murdock in an all-new black suit as he joins forces with Jessica Jones to take down Mayor Fisk’s Anti-Vigilante Task Force while also fighting other enemies such as Bullseye. Daredevil: Born Again  season 2 is set to release in Spring 2026 on Disney+ as part of Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
