After a jaw-dropping finale that left fans buzzing, Daredevil: Born Again has officially secured its place in the MCU’s future with a confirmed second season. The series, which delivered one of the most violent and emotional endings in Marvel’s streaming history, will return in March 2026—just a year after Season 1’s premiere. With filming already underway, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 promises more blood, more betrayals, and deeper dives into the darkness of Hell’s Kitchen. From cast confirmations to intriguing character arcs, here’s everything we know so far.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Release Date
In an era where long production gaps have become the norm, Daredevil: Born Again is bucking the trend with a rapid turnaround. Showrunner Dario Scardapane confirmed the March 2026 release window, just one year after Season 1 dropped. The second season will consist of eight episodes, one less than the first.
Notably, Daredevil: Born Again is currently the only confirmed Phase 6 MCU series with a release month, signaling Marvel Studios’ confidence in the show’s momentum. If it follows a weekly release schedule, it could wrap just before Avengers: Doomsday premieres—fueling speculation about a potential Daredevil tie-in, though nothing has been confirmed on that front.
Cast Details: Who’s Back in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2?
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 brings back major characters from the first season while introducing fresh faces to deepen the conflict. Charlie Cox reprises his iconic role as Matt Murdock, fully leaning into his vigilante persona and now wearing a sleek black costume. Vincent D’Onofrio returns as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, who ended Season 1 as New York’s Mayor and its most feared underworld figure.
Wilson Bethel is back as Bullseye, now sporting a more comic-accurate suit with the classic target logo. His survival from Season 1’s events sets him up as a volatile threat to both Daredevil and Fisk. Deborah Ann Woll returns as Karen Page, and her character is expected to play a more prominent role, while Elden Henson’s Foggy Nelson is confirmed to appear “in some regard,” according to Marvel Studios.
The returning cast also includes Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk, Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn, Nikki M. James as Kirsten McDuffie, Genneya Walton as BB Urich, Clark Johnson as Cherry, and Michael Gandolfini as Daniel Blake.
Plot Details: Vigilantes vs. The System in a City at War
Season 1 ended with New York City in chaos, as Wilson Fisk declared martial law and turned every masked vigilante into a public enemy. With Fisk now serving as both Mayor and criminal overlord, his power is absolute—and terrifying. Season 2 will pick up from this volatile status quo, where masked heroes are hunted and Matt Murdock is forced to go fully underground to protect the city he loves.
Bullseye, having survived a near-fatal confrontation, is back on the streets with upgraded gear and a vendetta. Fisk, furious over Bullseye’s attempted assassination of Vanessa, sees him as a rogue threat. At the same time, Matt continues to reel from the emotional weight of Season 1’s tragedies—including the presumed death of Foggy Nelson, now hinted to be more complex than it appeared.
Karen Page returns to the fight, possibly becoming a stronger ally to Matt in both the courtroom and on the streets. Meanwhile, Vanessa Fisk is more ruthless than ever after seizing control during Wilson’s absence, and her continued rise in power adds a new layer of tension to the already-crumbling moral landscape.
The season will also follow Daniel Blake, Fisk’s young political aide, as he navigates his role within the corrupt administration. BB Urich’s investigative journalism continues to dig into the rot beneath Fisk’s political machine, potentially making her a dangerous target.
New Faces Join the Chaos
In addition to the core returning cast, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 introduces several new characters. Matthew Lillard has joined the show in an undisclosed but significant role. His casting hints at a morally complex figure who may disrupt the already unstable balance of power.
Lili Taylor is set to appear in a recurring role, reportedly as a political adversary to Kingpin. Meanwhile, Annie Parisse and Sydney Parra have been spotted on set, though their roles remain under wraps. These additions suggest the show will broaden its scope, adding new legal, political, and street-level threats.
Could Other Defenders Return?
While no formal announcements have been made, Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum has openly expressed interest in bringing back Jessica Jones. Given his role and the show’s New York-centric setting, her return as a guest or crossover character seems more likely than not. Other former Netflix stars like Finn Jones (Iron Fist) and Elodie Yung (Elektra)have also expressed interest in returning, though nothing has been confirmed.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is shaping up to be a darker, more intense continuation of Matt Murdock’s battle for New York. With Kingpin wielding unchecked power, Bullseye on the loose, and vigilantes pushed to the edge, the next chapter in this brutal saga is already heating up. With a March 2026 release date locked in and filming well underway, Marvel fans won’t have to wait long to see how this war for Hell’s Kitchen unfolds.
