The future of Disney’s Daredevil revival is up in the air, after a curious comment from series star Charlie Cox.
Speaking at GalaxyCon, Cox referred to the upcoming second season of Daredevil: Born Again — due to air on Disney+ in 2026 — as the show’s “final season”, suggesting that, despite years of wait for a Daredevil revival, two seasons might be all fans get.
But things may not be so decisive. Coming in, as ever, to steal Daredevil’s thunder, Kingpin actor Vincent D’Onofrio has suggested there is still hope for the show to live on — even if nothing, as yet, seems assured.
Discussing his latest Daredevil suit during a stage appearance at GalaxyCon (which the event filmed and then uploaded to TikTok), Cox refers to Born Again Season 2 as the show’s last run.
“There’s something we do in this final season that doesn’t exist in the comics, so it’s unique to our show,” Cox says.
Seeking further clarification, fans then shared the comment with Wilson Fisk himself, Vincent D’Onofrio, who this morning offered the following comment via X: “Good chance there will be a third.”
Good chance there will be a third.

Daredevil: Born Again had been one of the most-anticipated Marvel shows to land on Disney+, and Charlie Cox’s portrayal of Daredevil one of Marvel’s most popular characters among hardcore fans. But it’s unclear how well the show’s first season has performed among wider audiences.
Like Matt Murdock himself, the show has struggled with its identity, and emerged as something of a hybrid between Marvel’s initial plans for an all-new introduction of the character with elements added later to the first season to make it more of a continuation from the original Netflix Daredevil series.
The upcoming second season — now potentially its final run — will be the first to have been written from the off with its Netflix backstory firmly in mind (including the reappearance of Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones). At the very least, D’Onofrio’s comment suggests there’s still hope for more — though it may depend on how next year’s new episodes land.
