Marvel enthusiasts have been waiting with bated breath for Matt Murdock’s comeback, and the wait is nearly over. Daredevil: Born Again will be out on March 4, 2025, on Disney+, with the first two episodes available at launch. The rest of the episodes will be released every week.
This comeback is Daredevil’s official entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) under Phase Five. With Charlie Cox back as Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio back as Wilson Fisk (Kingpin), the anticipation is sky-high.
Daredevil: Born Again – What Is the Show About?
Unlike the Netflix Daredevil series, Daredevil: Born Again is a reboot that retains some of the original series. The series begins years after the final series. Matt Murdock, blind but with very sensitive senses, still leads a dual life as Daredevil, a crime fighter in Hell’s Kitchen, New York.
The series follows Wilson Fisk’s attempt to be elected mayor of New York City. Fisk’s political aspirations place him squarely in opposition to Murdock, and there is a bitter struggle not only on the streets but also in the courts and politics.
The new series will strive to provide a realistic, gritty, and hard-hitting tale, as its predecessor did, but with a new vision under Marvel Studios’ direct guidance.

Daredevil: Born Again Cast and Characters: Who’s Back?

- Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil
- Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk / Kingpin
- Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle / The Punisher (rumored)
- Margarita Levieva and Michael Gandolfini in undisclosed roles

Daredevil: Born Again Episode Count and Release Schedule
The first season of Daredevil: Born Again consists of nine episodes. However, originally the show had a total of 18-episode series, but Marvel Studios reformed the show after a creative reboot in late 2023, reports say.
How Does It Connect to the MCU?
Following the cancellation of Daredevil on Netflix, Charlie Cox’s version of the character guest-starred in the MCU, but only in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin turned up in Hawkeye.
With Daredevil: Born Again, the character is now a part of the MCU’s canon. What that implies is that crossovers with other Marvel heroes and villains are possible in future projects.
What to Look for in Daredevil: Born Again
More Politics and Legal Drama
The new series will not just center around street wars but will delve seriously into war in the courts and politics as well as power struggles. The mayoral run of Fisk will be one of the key drivers for the story.
More Intense and Darker Action
Fans enjoyed the bloody, close combat in the Netflix show. Marvel Studios won’t go as dark as it previously did, but the action will likely be raw, visceral, and exciting.
New and Recurring Villains
Other than Kingpin, there have been rumors of other old-school Daredevil villains returning, including Bullseye or even The Punisher, Jon Bernthal’s portrayal.

Final Thoughts
With Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel is returning one of its most celebrated street-level superheroes in a grander, gorier fashion. The political suspense, high-stakes action, and character development will likely have this series standing out as one of the top offerings of the MCU’s Phase Five.
As the countdown to March 4, 2025, gets underway, the fans can still expect to have more teasers, trailers, and sneak peeks ahead of the premiere. Will Matt Murdock ever be able to have the upper hand on Kingpin once and for all? Time will tell.
