With the Season 1 finale of Daredevil: Born Again now in the wild, it’s clear that Marvel Studios D+ revival’s sophomore season is set to embrace the series’ Netflix roots. Showrunner Dario Scardapane, who came on board in October 2023 after the series underwent a creative retooling, immersed New York City–and the audience–in darkness in “Straight to Hell” and with production already well underway on Season 2, it’s clear that The Man Without Fear won’t emerge from it anytime soon. However, it turns out fans of the series will be tuning into Daredevil Season 4 Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 pretty soon.
As part of Marvel Studios’ new “considered approach” to streaming projects, the studio cut back on the number of series in development in an attempt to ensure a higher quality product. Additionally, Marvel Television headman Brad Winderbaum explained that the studio was hoping to identify properties that fans could count on to return year after year. “Moving forward our priorities have shifted,” said Winderbaum. “We’re making shows as shows that can exist as annual releases, more like television.”
As we develop things for the future, I think they’re going to be designed to be multiple seasons, have more of a pattern, and be able to be released annually.

Those comments came during an interview in which Winderbaum made it pretty clear that Daredevil: Born Again was primed to be the test case for the studio’s annual approach, something he clarified in a separate interview.
“Season 2 will come out next year, and then hopefully season 3 and season infinity after that,” said Winderbaum of Born Again. “I think this world is extremely rich, and there are many stories to be told on the streets of New York.” Now, we know exactly when to expect Season 2 and it’s not really much of a surprise.
According to an Instagram post from Scardapane, who is returning to run Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, the series will return to D+ next March.
With the Season 1 finale leaving Matt in a very tough spot, fans are hoping Season 2 might also feature the return of some of his Defenders buddies. And with Matt looking to put together “an army”, that’s not totally out of the question.
