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.

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
