On August 14, 2025, Vincent D’Onofrio, star of Daredevil: Born Again, dispelled fan concerns after Charlie Cox referred to the show’s second season as its “final season,” as reported by Variety.
Posting on X, D’Onofrio clarified, “I believe Charlie meant the last season we actually shot, meaning the second season,” adding, “Charlie and I both agree there’s a very good chance for a third season,” calming speculation about the series’ future
Marvel has rebooted Daredevil: Born Again, restructuring the originally planned 18-episode run into two seasons after a creative overhaul following the writers’ strike. Speaking at Fan Expo Cleveland, Charlie Cox revealed that new showrunner Dario Scardapane retained much of the pre-strike footage, including scenes with Jon Bernthal. The team has already completed filming for the second season, and the series will return in 2025.
I believe Charlie meant the last season we actually shot meaning the second season. Yet he used the term final season so its a bit confusing.
But Charlie and i have discussed and we both agree there's a very good chance for a third season. https://t.co/ZwKYRWXuGZ
