Marvel has greenlit a third season of Daredevil: Born Again, which will begin shooting in 2026.
Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming, television and animation at Marvel Studios, told IGN of the series’ renewal in an interview this week, following earlier confusion over whether the project would wrap up after its sophomore run.
“In terms of Daredevil, yeah, we are greenlit for Season 3 and we start shooting next year,” Winderbaum said.
Before its release, Daredevil: Born Again had been one of Marvel’s most anticipated TV projects. A revival of the beloved Daredevil series on Netflix, Marvel’s Disney+ series once again stars Charlie Cox as lawyer vigilante Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio as his archrival Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin.
Response to the series’ first season was mostly positive, though Born Again’s first run of episodes still show the joins from Marvel’s mid-development story pivot. Initially the show had been planned as something of a full reboot, but those plans changed after execs saw early versions of episodes. Amid a filming hiatus, Marvel incorporated feedback from both the series’ actors and fans calling for a more direct continuation of the Netflix series, prompting a new pilot and finale episode to be written and shot.
Confirmation that Daredevil: Born Again will now continue on for a third season will likely come as a relief to fans left confused by a recent comment by Cox incorrectly referring to the show’s upcoming second year as the “final season,” before D’Onofrio subsequently suggested there was still a “good chance” of more.
Daredevil’s upcoming second run, set to air in early 2026, will offer the show’s first full season written with Born Again’s new identity in mind — something that fans hope will provide for something of a more coherant feel, and more frequent appearances for past regular characters such as Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page and Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye.
For now, full details of season two remain under wraps, though we know that Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones will appear — opening the door to other members of the Netflix Defenders returning also. Additionally, Winderbaum has said that Elden Henson, who was given a brief cameo as Foggy Nelson in Born Again’s reshot pilot episode, will also appear in some capacity — and there’s a popular fan theory over how he may return.
