It was easy to think this day would never come, but Charlie Cox’s Daredevil is set to return to screens with Daredevil: Born Again. The original Netflix series ended in 2018, and the show first aired in April of 2015, a decade ago.
Now, early reviews say that the show has not missed a step and with pretty much its entire cast returning, that’s great to hear, even if the showrunners, directors and writers may not all be the same. But, some key data here you may want to know.
Daredevil: Born Again Release Date – Tuesday, March 4, 2025

Daredevil: Born Again 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.
So, that’s a double episode premiere, and I do not actually know why there are two episodes on March 25, as that’s not even a finale or even a midseason break. Going to look into that more. Runtime on the episodes are anywhere between 39-60 minutes or so, similar to the original. Though going back, it’s hard to believe there was a time when a show like this could get 13 episode seasons, three years in a row, as that simply doesn’t happen anymore.

Marvel
We already know that Daredevil: Born Again is getting a second season that is eight episodes long. That is supposed to be the end of it, but we’re also getting a spin-off Punisher streaming special movie, and there are strong hints that other Netflix-era MCU characters might return for their own series. Jessica Jones has been hinted at the most by far. Luke Cage and Iron Fist are unclear right now. There is also the hope for a “street level” era of Spider-Man, but reportedly Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man appearing in long-form, live-action TV. Maybe that’s for whole shows, not cameos, but I’m not sure. It doesn’t seem likely.
I would argue there has been almost too much marketing for Daredevil: Born Again at this point, showing too many fight clips and too many interviews strongly hinting at major plot points. I’ve had to go out of my way to avoid them at this point, but all indications are is that this series is going to be what fans have been hoping for after the last seven years of missing these characters.
Update (3/4): Now it’s the day of, and Daredevil: Born Again will be live tonight at 9 PM ET. At the time I’m writing this, there are still no critic reviews in, but social media reactions for not just the first few episodes, but the entire series, have been live for a while now for reasons I can’t quite understand. And they’re essentially all glowing. Some examples:
Marvel Tesseract – “We’ve seen all 9 episodes of #DaredevilBornAgain. It’s bold, brutal & timely. It lacks the original’s religious themes & has some bland new characters, but the action, legal scenes, Charlie Cox, White Tiger, Punisher & Fisk-Matt rivalry are brilliant. A massive win for the MCU”
Dirk Libbey – “I just finished #DaredevilBornAgain and it is quite simply the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. Powerful, emotional, and endlessly compelling. Cox and D’Onofrio are simply perfect. You guys are going to love it.”
Nicola Austin – “Binged all of #DaredevilBornAgain & I’ve never needed a second season this badly before – what a gripping (& emotional) outing! The action is as brutal & bloody as before, while Cox & D’Onofrio are absolutely sublime. It’s not perfect but what a welcome return to this world 👿”
I’ll take these with a little bit of salt as so, so many of these are enthusiast fan accounts, but I mean if…enthusiast fans love it, I’d say that’s a really good sign. We’ll see what the critical reviews say later.
