Daredevil: Born Again season 3 — everything we know so far about the Marvel TV show's return on Disney+

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 is officially a-go at Marvel Studios. The Disney+ show has had both production and viewership issues since it debuted in March 2025, but the comic book giant clearly has enough confidence in it to continue the story for at least one more season.

So, what do we know about the live-action series' next chapter? In this guide, I've rounded up the latest information on Daredevil: Born Again's third season, including its confirmed cast, story specifics, and when it might be released. Don't delay, then — read on to learn more about the next outing for The Devil of Hell's Kitchen.

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 release date: what we know so far

Marvel hasn't publicly announced a release date for Born Again season 3 yet. However, with filming underway as of mid-March and principal photography due to wrap in early July, according to showrunner Dario Scardapane (per Entertainment Weekly (EW)), an early 2027 launch shouldn't be ruled out.

With seasons 1 and 2 of Daredevil's TV revival airing in March 2025 and March 2026, I'd be shocked if its next entry doesn't come out next March. Once an official release date is announced, you'll be the first to know.

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 trailer: is there one?

No — and, considering we didn't see trailers for seasons 1 and 2 until much closer to their respective launches, it's incredibly unlikely that Daredevil: Born Again season 3's first trailer will arrive before January 2027 at the very earliest.

I suspect a teaser will debut at this year's New York Comic Con (NYCC) in mid-October. If one does, though, it'll be shown exclusively behind closed doors to attendees, so don't expect it to be made public afterwards. Whenever a trailer is released online, I'll update this section.

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 confirmed cast

Full spoilers immediately follow for Daredevil: Born Again season 2 episode 8.

Here's the confirmed cast of Daredevil: Born Again season 3 thus 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
• Nikke M. James as Kirsten McDuffie
• Arty Froushan as Buck Cashman
• Zabryna Guevara as Sheila Rivera
• Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones
• Mike Colter as Luke Cage
• Finn Jones as Danny Rand/Iron Fist

All but the final two actors named above we know will return in season 3 because they survived last season's finale and/or have since confirmed they'll be back for round 3 — Froushan (per The Hollywood Reporter) and Bethel (via TV Insider), for example, having done the latter.

Where Colter and Jones are concerned, we know they're part of the proceedings because they were snapped on one of next season's real-world location sets.

Colter made a brief cameo in the season 2 finale, so he was always likely to show up again. Per Scardapane and Marvel Head of TV Brad Winderbaum, Cage will have a key role to play in Daredevil: Born Again season 3, too.

However, Jones' return is something of a surprise. Iron Fist — which, like Daredevil and the rest of Netflix's Marvel TV shows, is now canon in the MCU — was plagued with production issues and received poorly by fans and critics alike. It seems that Marvel will give Jones another shot at getting the character right, though, in Born Again's third chapter.

Other supporting cast members are sure to be back, too. Genneya Walton's B.B. Urich, Clark Johnson's Cherry, Lili Taylor's Marge McCaffrey, Jeremy Isaiah Earl's Cole North, Ruibo Qian's Angie Kim, Camila Rodriguez's Angela del Toro, Royce Johnson's Brett Mahoney, Matthew Lilliard's Mister Charles, and Susan Varon's Josie are all faces I'd expect to see again.

As for further cast additions, we'll see the introduction of new villains, with Scardapane telling The Direct: "We've got a few more people heading your way."

We already know the identity of one of those foes, too, which I'll discuss in more detail in the plot section. Speaking of which...

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 story speculation

Daredevil: Born Again season 3 doesn't have a story synopsis yet. However, based on how last season ended — read my Daredevil: Born Again season 2 ending explained piece to remind yourself what happened — we have an idea of where things might go next.

Full spoilers immediately follow for last season's finale.

First, Marvel's Head of TV Brad Winderbaum told ScreenRant that there'll be a "small time jump, but it's not too significant.... We're probably jumping ahead a year or so, kind of like the real-life distance between seasons". Given last season is set around mid- to late 2027, this season should take place in mid- to late 2028.

Where the eponymous vigilante is concerned, season 3 will open with Matt Murdock/Daredevil behind bars. Murdock was arrested and incarcerated after he publicly revealed he was the costumed crimefighter in season 2 episode 8. And, considering he's committed a mountain's worth of crimes as his superhuman alter-ego, Murdock knew he wouldn't be a free man for much longer.

So, what happens now? Speaking on the season 2 episode 5 edition of the Daredevil: Born Again Official Podcast, executive producer Sana Amanat revealed that next season will continue to draw inspiration from specific Marvel Comics storylines. That includes Devil in Cell Block D, which similarly covers Murdock's stint in prison.

Based on behind-the-scenes snaps that have leaked online for season 3, it appears he'll be tried for his crimes, too. That would explain why Woll's Page was spotted with Guevara's Rivera, who is New York's new mayor following Fisk's abdication, outside of what appears to be a courthouse.

Speaking of Fisk, his shadow will continue to loom large over Born Again despite his apparent exile from the United States in last season's finale.

Indeed, after Scardapane told The New York Times that Fisk's story in Daredevil: Born Again wasn't over, more leaked photographs showed D'Onofrio's disgraced individual sporting a lengthy beard, beanie hat, winter coat, and other modest clothing on the streets of New York. Is he plotting yet another comeback? Or did he stick around for another reason? After all, those loyal to Fisk, including Froushan's Cashmand and Levieva's Glenn, are still around. Maybe Fisk is planning to restart his criminal activities away from prying eyes.

Mind you, that's based on whether he can round up the troops again.

Indeed, in yet more leaked set images, Glenn can be seen sporting the Muse face covering that she kept following her near-fatal run-in with the masked serial killer in season 1 episode 5. With a psychologically damaged Glenn now adopting the villainous pseudonym of the mass murderer who almost killed her, Lady Muse is set to be one of the new enemies that Murdock and company will have to contend with.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if she inadvertently ends up being Murdock's, well, get out of jail free card. I fully expect him to make a deal with the authorities whereby his sentence will be reduced or ended prematurely if his vigilante alter-ego helps them track down Lady Muse, who I suspect will be committing her own crimes in due course.

There are numerous other subplots demanding to be explored in Daredevil: Born Again season 3. Here's a brief list of some story threads that need to be picked up from season 2 or, where characters from Netflix's Marvel-Verse are concerned, that urgently need to be addressed:

• Luke Cage reuniting with Jessica Jones and his daughter Danielle
• What happened to Luke Cage after his own Netflix show ended, and why he was working for Mister Charles off-screen in Born Again season 2
• What Danny Rand has been up to since his Netflix series ended, and if he's reacquired the Iron Fist mantle and superpowers
• B.B. Urich following in her dead uncle's footsteps as a New York Bulletin reporter, and whether her hands will be tied by what she's told to cover
• What brings Bullseye and Mister Charles back to New York City

On top of all of that, there's the looming question about how Spider-Man: Brand New Day will impact this season.

By now, it's common knowledge that Born Again season 2 and Spider-Man 4 are connected in some way — after all, both heroes live and operate in the Big Apple. It stands to reason, then, that the latter, which takes place after Born Again's season 2 finale, will be affected by its events and, in turn, potentially plant some seeds for what's to come in Daredevil: Born Again season 3.

What could said seeds be? Based on Brand New Day's first trailer, the return of the ninja-based criminal organization known as The Hand, which was the overarching enemy in Netflix's Marvel-Verse, has crossed over into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). I wouldn't be shocked, then, if their return is tentatively set up in Spider-Man's next big-screen adventure before they make a bigger splash in Born Again's forthcoming installment.

Will there be a fourth season of Daredevil: Born Again

Nobody knows, but two huge factors will play a significant role in Born Again's future on one of the best streaming services.

The first — the movie double header known as Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars — will bring down the curtain on the Marvel Multiverse Saga. With rumors circulating that they'll initiate a hard reset of the MCU, the jury is out on whether Daredevil and those who operate in his orbit will be carried over into MCU 2.0.

The other, and perhaps more important, element is Born Again's viewership.

After its debut season failed to crack the Top 10 most-watched shows list of reputable audience analytics company Nielsen, the second season's viewing figures painted an even bleaker outlook for the series. Indeed, per data obtained by comicbook.com from another audience measurement company, Luminate, Born Again's audience share dropped 50% from season 1 to season 2. That's in spite of the latter being better reviewed by critics and received by general fans than its forebear.

Should Daredevil: Born Again season 3 perform even worse than both of its predecessors post-release, the writing is likely to be on the wall for it — and that's before Secret Wars comes out in theaters next December and officially wraps up the Multiverse Saga. Unless the Marvel Phase 6 TV series enjoys a huge turnaround in viewership next season, this might be the end of the line for The Man Without Fear and his cohorts.
