Daredevil: Born Again season 2: everything we know so far about the Marvel TV show's return on Disney+

Daredevil: Born Again season 2's release date is fast approaching. Sure, the Disney+ show's official debut hasn't been made public yet but, with Marvel confirming it'll arrive in March, we're hoping we'll learn about a concrete date soon.

While we wait for more details on Daredevil: Born Again's next chapter, you'll want to get the scoop on what we've heard about it so far. So, read on to find out more about the live-action series' confirmed cast, story specifics, and future plans for the program post-season 2.

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 release date prediction

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is set to premiere in March 2026. Showrunner Dario Scardapane previously confirmed Born Again's second season would land on Disney+ this March before Marvel Studios doubled-down on it last October.

As for an official date, the Marvel Phase 6 TV show doesn't have one. In late 2025, Disney's press website indicated it would drop on March 4, but the House of House has since removed that information. Nevertheless, I'd be surprised if this date isn't officially announced in due course.

Is there a trailer for Daredevil: Born Again season 2?

Yes, but it hasn't been released publicly. It was shown to New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2025 attendees in October, but has yet to make its way online.

Marvel has a habit for making us wait for trailers concerning its TV shows, so I suspect we won't see this one until early February.

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 cast: confirmed and rumored

Spoilers follow for Daredevil: Born Again season 1.

Here's the confirmed cast for Daredevil: Born Again season 2 so far:

• Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil
• Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk
• Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page
• Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn
• Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Pointdexter/Bullseye
• Zabryna Guevara as Sheila Rivera
• Nikki M. James as Kristen McDuffie
• Genneya Walton as B.B. Urich
• Arty Froushan as Buck Cashman
• Clark Johnson as Cherry
• Michael Gandolfini as Daniel Blake
• Ayelet Zuhrer as Vanessa Fisk
• Camila Rodriguez as Angela del Toro
• Tony Dalton as Jack Duquesne
• Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones
• Susan Varon as Josie
• Royce Johnson as Brett Mahoney
• Matthew Lilliard as Mr. Charles
• Lili Taylor as Marge McCaffrey

The biggest casting news is that Ritter will return as Jessica Jones, aka the superpowered private investigator she portrayed in Netflix's Marvel TV Universe.

Considering Daredevil: Born Again season 1 ended up being more closely aligned to Daredevil's Netflix series after its creative overhaul, it was a case of when, not if, Jones and other characters from Netflix's Marvel-Verse would make the leap to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Speaking to The Playlist, Ritter revealed she's known she'd be back as Jones for over two years, so her return has been a long time coming. Per Marvel's Head of TV Brad Winderbaum, Born Again season 2 will feature some "cool surprises" concerning Jones, too.

Could those surprises correlate with rumors that other heroes from Netflix's Marvel-Verse will appear in Born Again?

Mike Colter, who played Luke Cage in Netflix's aforementioned franchise, has played his cards very close to his chest over potentially reprising his role as Harlem's unbreakable man. Speaking on Shawn Stockman's On The Note Podcast, he stated he'd had "conversations" about returning as Cage, but refused to say if he'd show up in Born Again's next entry.

Elsewhere, Elden Henson's return as Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson continues to be a big talking point.

Indeed, he was seemingly killed by Bullseye in Born Again's first episode but, following the show's two-episode premiere, Marvel fans theorized that Foggy may still be alive. Some pointed out that Nelson's apparent death was eerily similar to how he faked his own demise in an Ed Brubaker-written Daredevil comic series in the mid-2010s, which Born Again is loosely based on.

Speaking to Phase Hero's Brandon Davis prior to season 1's debut, Winderbaum confirmed Henson would return in season 2, before doubling down on those comments at NYCC 2025 (per Entertainment Weekly (EW)).

For his part, Cox suggested Foggy is really dead and gone (per The Direct). However, Cox also told On The Red Carpet that he's filmed a 2015 flashback scene for season 2 alongside an unnamed actor, so it's possible that individual is Henson.

Newcomers-wise, Lilliard (Five Nights at Freddy's, Scooby Doo) is on board as someone called Mister Charles. Winderbaum told EW that Lilliard's character is" a bit of a new antagonist on the field" and is "as influential, in many ways, as Fisk is" on the political stage.

Meanwhile, Taylor is played Governor McCaffrey, who'll be another thorn in the side of Mayor Fisk. Taking to Instagram in late 2025, Royce Johnson confirmed he'll reprise his role as Brett Mahoney from Daredevil's Netflix adaptation, too. Cox has also indicated (via The Hollywood Reporter (THR)) that other MCU characters might cameo in season 2. That follows Ms. Marvel's dad having a substantial supporting role in season 1 episode 5, so place your bets now on who could show up.

Finally, one individual who won't be back in Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is Frank Castle/The Punisher. Per Empire magazine – as reported by GamesRadar – the anti-hero's forthcoming Disney+ special, plus his supporting role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, will keep him away from events that play out this season.

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 story speculation

Full spoilers follow for Daredevil: Born Again season 1.

Born Again season 2's story synopsis hasn't been revealed yet. However, based on how its predecessor ended – read my Daredevil: Born Again season 1 ending explained piece for more – and what its cast has teased, there's plenty we can read into its plot.

For starters, Cox has hyped up this season's narrative, telling Collider that it's "some of my favorite stuff I've read". D'Onofrio also told journalists (per IGN) that he "had to have a little cry about" this season's scripts due to the emotional impact they'll have on viewers.

Those quotes are telling in light of season 2's "resistance story", Scardapane told TVInsider. Indeed, last season's finale revealed Matt Murdock and Karen Page had co-founded an underground resistance movement that'll fight Fisk's fascist regime to regain control of New York's streets.

We already have a sense of how they'll do so. Last March, first-look images for season 2 appeared online showing Murdock and Page wearing disguises (or what passes for a disguise in the MCU). Clearly, they're scoping out something or someone, or they're on the hunt for new allies to join their cause.

That won't be the only costume overhaul Murdock will get. As leaked images posted on X/Twitter (see above) revealed, he'll sport Daredevil's classic black suit, complete with its red-colored 'DD' logo on the chest, next season. A November 2025 Daredevil: Born Again season 2 leak gave us a much better look at the Marvel hero's new outfit, too.

Season 2 will also result in a new crisis of faith for Murdock. Chatting to Collider, Cox said Murdock will "no longer trust [his] instincts and be clear-minded about what the next right step is, so he questions a lot. He kind of backtracks a bit. He’s clearly unsure and finding that he has to take gambles and hope that he’s making the right choice."

Luckily, Murdock has Page back by his side. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly (EW), Scardapane suggested their bond will be more important than ever, adding: "Karen Page is the heart and soul of Matt Murdock's world, and even more so now that Foggy is not part of that trio. You can tell at the end of the season, she's the one telling him to be wrath, you have to be mercy, you have to be there for your city. The idea of her and him moving forward into a dangerous time in New York, yeah, she's a huge part of it."

One hero who's seemingly destined not to join Daredevil's cause (on the small screen, anyway) is Spider-Man.

There were references to Tom Holland's webslinger in Born Again episode 2 and Daredevil: Born Again episode 3. However, Sony Pictures owns the live-action rights to Spider-Man. Unless Marvel struck an expensive deal with Sony, Peter Parker won't make his small-screen debut here.

Nonetheless, Winderbaum has revealed (per EW) that Daredevil: Born Again season 2 and Spider-Man: Brand New Day are connected in some way, adding "there's coherence there... we don't want to spoil anything, but it very much exists in the same world and it is important."

That slightly contradicts Marvel President Kevin Feige's previous comments that events that occur in MCU movies won't impact and/or be referenced in their TV counterparts. For example, when asked if what happens in Thunderbolts*, whose finale takes place in New York, will affect Daredevil: Born Again season 2, Feige simply said: "No".

So, while Thunderbolts' third act won't impact this show's next chapter, it's possible Born Again season 2 and Brand New Day will either run concurrently or impact the other's narrative. However, Cox has stated he won't appear in Spider-Man 4 (per the Phase Hero podcast's Brandon Davis, so I guess that long-awaited team-up will have to, well, wait.

Will there be a third season of Daredevil: Born Again?

Yes. Winderbaum confirmed (via IGN) that a third season has been greenlit.

Per Collider, producer Jesse Wigutow suggested principal photography will begin in early 2026, executive producer Sana Amanat says the scripts are being worked on (via Empire magazine, as reported by Heroic Hollywood), and action director Philip Silvera has revealed (per Instagram) that work has begun on next season's stuntwork.

There'll be at least one Daredevil: Born Again offshoot coming to Disney+, aka one of the world's best streaming services, too.

A special presentation starring Frank Castle/The Punisher will, per THR, be released sometime in 2026. It's been co-written by Bernthal and We Own This City director Reinaldo Marcus Green, was filmed in 2025, and, per EW, will connect to Born Again season 2's story.

As I mentioned earlier, Marvel may look to revisit characters from Netflix's Defenders-Verse, too. Speaking to ComicBook.com, Winderbaum intimated it was "inevitable" that Cage and Danny Rand/Iron Fist would make their MCU debuts. In conversation with EW, Scardapane added these "iconic characters are always in your mind", so don't be shocked if a new Defenders project is eventually announced.
