The Season 2 finale of Daredevil: Born Again truly served as a definitive resolution to the conversation held between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk over coffee in a diner in the series opening episode, “Heaven’s Half Hour.” Though both men believed they were destined to become the savior of New York City, they both realized they had nearly destroyed it and they both accepted the consequences of their actions.
The series key players all have agency to make choices without the constraints of external forces, though it’s the choices made by Murdock and Fisk that will reverberate the loudest.

Both Fisk and Murdock willingly accepted their punishments, with Fisk exiled to (apparently) Puerto Rico and Murdock–now revealed as Daredevil–imprisoned in Cell Block D. Though the next season will clearly take the co-leads in a different direction, there’s no doubt they’ll meet again. However, according to Brad Winderbaum, Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation at Marvel Studios, the characters will have had some time to sit with their decisions when they reappear in Season 3.
“There will be a small time jump, but it’s not too significant. It’s not like we’re jumping ahead five years or anything,” said Marvel’s streaming skipper. “We’re probably jumping ahead a year or so, kind of like the real-life distance between seasons. And yeah, Fisk’s exile is its own story. So it’s fun watching these two characters be in their own places in season three.“
Should that all hold, Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 will be set sometime in mid-to-late 2028. That should provide the opportunity for the new season to wrap up before the post-credit scene to Thunderbolts* which, of course, takes place during Avengers: Doomsday. Intriguingly, the placement on the time line should allow for an expected fourth season to take place in a post-Secret Wars universe and whatever world of possibilities come with that.
