After years of speculation, Daredevil: Born Again is finally here. Charlie Cox is back as Matt Murdock, marking his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Netflix’s Daredevil ended in 2018.
Early reviews suggest the series stays true to its gritty, action-packed roots, and fans have been eagerly waiting for this moment. Here’s everything you need to know about the release schedule, cast, and what to expect from the highly anticipated reboot.
Release Date & Episode Schedule
Daredevil: Born Again officially premieres on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, exclusively on Disney+. The series will follow a weekly release pattern, dropping new episodes every Tuesday. Here’s the full episode schedule:
- Episode 1-2 – March 4, 2025
- Episode 3 – March 11, 2025
- Episode 4 – March 18, 2025
- Episode 5-6 – March 25, 2025
- Episode 7 – April 1, 2025
- Episode 8 – April 8, 2025
- Episode 9 – April 15, 2025
Interestingly, two episodes will drop on both March 4 and March 25, though it’s unclear why Disney+ made this choice. The episodes will run between 39-60 minutes, following a format similar to the original Netflix series.
What’s Different in This Reboot?
While Daredevil: Born Again brings back Charlie Cox (Daredevil) and Vincent D’Onofrio (Kingpin), the show has a new creative team behind it. Unlike the original Daredevil series, this reboot was developed within the MCU framework, meaning we might see more crossovers with other Marvel characters.
- Same actors, new direction – The original showrunners and writers are not returning, but Marvel Studios has promised to maintain the tone and character depth that made Daredevil a fan favorite.
- More MCU connections – There are rumors of Spider-Man, Jessica Jones, and The Punisher making appearances, tying the show into Marvel’s wider street-level heroes.
- Confirmed second season – Even before the show’s premiere, Daredevil: Born Again has been renewed for an 8-episode second season, proving Marvel has long-term plans for the character.
Will It Live Up to Expectations?
The original Daredevil was known for its brutal fight scenes, compelling storytelling, and deep character development. Fans have been vocal about wanting the same intensity and grittiness, and early reports suggest Born Again delivers on that front.
However, some concerns remain:
- Too much marketing? – With so many trailers and teaser clips, fans worry major plot points have already been spoiled.
- Disney+ vs. Netflix tone – Can Disney+ maintain the dark, street-level storytelling of the original, or will the MCU influence soften the show?
One thing is certain – Marvel is betting big on Daredevil’s return, and fans will be the ultimate judge of whether Born Again lives up to its predecessor.
With Daredevil: Born Again premiering soon, Marvel is diving deeper into its street-level heroes. Whether it can recapture the magic of the Netflix series remains to be seen, but all signs point to a strong comeback for Matt Murdock.
