Marvel Studios has officially confirmed a second season of Daredevil: Born Again, continuing Matt Murdock’s story within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The upcoming season follows the events of Season 1 and is expected to further expand Marvel’s street-level storytelling on Disney+.
Below is a breakdown of all confirmed details, alongside information that remains unverified or speculative at this time.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is scheduled to premiere on March 24, 2026, exclusively on Disney+.
The season will consist of eight episodes, released weekly. This is one episode fewer than Season 1 and reflects Marvel’s revised approach after restructuring the series from its original 18-episode plan into two separate seasons.
Season 2 is a direct continuation of Season 1, with no reboot or timeline reset.
The narrative centres on the growing influence of Wilson Fisk (Kingpin), who now wields political and institutional power rather than operating solely as a crime boss. This shift places Daredevil in conflict not just with an individual antagonist, but with a system that appears increasingly aligned with Fisk’s interests.
Marvel has described the season as exploring themes of power, control, justice, and resistance, with Matt Murdock facing heightened moral and legal pressure as both a lawyer and a vigilante.
The following actors are confirmed to return:
- Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil
- Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk / Kingpin
- Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page
- Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson
- Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk
- Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn
Marvel has confirmed that Krysten Ritter will reprise her role as Jessica Jones in Season 2.
Her inclusion marks one of the clearest integrations of former Netflix Marvel characters into the current MCU continuity. While the scale of her role has not been disclosed, her presence suggests an expansion of the street-level MCU narrative beyond Daredevil alone.
Wilson Bethel is confirmed to return as Bullseye, a character previously introduced in the original Daredevil series. His involvement points to a more personal and psychologically driven conflict for Matt Murdock.
Matthew Lillard has joined the cast as a character named Mr. Charles.
Marvel has not officially confirmed the nature of this role. Early reports suggest he may function as an unconventional antagonist, but this remains unverified.
The overall tone remains dark, realistic, and character-driven.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is shaping up to be a focused continuation rather than a reinvention. With a confirmed release date, returning core cast, and expanded political stakes, the series remains firmly committed to grounded storytelling within the MCU.
While some character details and plot elements remain unconfirmed, the available information points to a season that deepens Daredevil’s conflict with power, law, and authority without abandoning the tone that has defined the character.
Further updates are expected as Marvel moves closer to the 2026 premiere.
