Charlie Cox is bringing back his famous superhero, Daredevil, in his show, Daredevil: Born Again. This isn’t the first time Daredevil has come back to the MCU.
Matt Murdock will be back in business on Netflix eight years after the original Daredevil show ended. But he won’t be by himself. In a series of shocking announcements, it was also revealed that Jon Bernthal would return as The Punisher and that Vincent D’Onofrio would play Kingpin/Wilson Fisk again.
Michael Gandolfini, Sandrine Holt, Nikki James, and Margarita Levieva are all playing characters that still need to be confirmed. Arty Froushan, who is in Carnival Row, was recently seen on set.
Fans were happy to hear that some characters would return, but Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson, who played Karen Page and Foggy Nelson in the original series, won’t return. But recently heard more good news: there might be a second season. D’Onofrio said that the show is already a few weeks into filming and that there are plans for a second season.
So, what will the new episodes of Daredevil look like, who will be in them, and when can we look forward to them? Here is what we know so far about Daredevil’s new season.

Matt Corman and Chris Ord are set to write and executive produce the new episodes coming to Disney Plus, which was already known.
Seasons 1 through 3 of Daredevil and other Netflix co-productions like Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher, and The Defenders are currently available on Disney Plus.
What’s the Plot of Daredevil: Born Again?
The original Daredevil, loosely connected to the MCU, was about Matt Murdock (Cox), a lawyer in Hell’s Kitchen, New York, who also wore a mask and fought crime. In the Netflix show, there were no Infinity Stones or cosmic threats. Instead, Matt tried to free Hell’s Kitchen from Kingpin’s (D’Onofrio) control by fighting crime on the streets.
But it could go differently now that Daredevil is a part of the MCU. Many fans hope that the new series will stay true to the original show’s focus on the dark world of organized crime and vigilantism. But the whole point of the MCU is that all of its different stories are connected, so who knows what could happen with the Multiverse Saga.
