Daredevil: Born Again season 1

The first season of the American television series Daredevil: Born Again is based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Daredevil. It sees blind lawyer and former vigilante Matt Murdock's fight for justice put him on a collision course with former mob boss Wilson Fisk, who is elected mayor of New York City. Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and sharing continuity with the films and television series of the franchise, Born Again is a revival and continuation of Marvel Television and Netflix's Daredevil (2015–2018). The season was produced by Marvel Studios under its own Marvel Television label, with Dario Scardapane as showrunner and Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead as lead directors.

Charlie Cox reprises his role as Matt Murdock / Daredevil from Marvel's Netflix television series and prior Marvel Studios productions, starring alongside Vincent D'Onofrio (Fisk), Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Wilson Bethel, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, Ayelet Zurer, Kamar de los Reyes, Jon Bernthal, Mohan Kapur, and Tony Dalton. Development on a new Daredevil series began by March 2022, with head writers Matt Corman and Chris Ord giving it an episodic structure and lighter tone than the original series. Born Again was announced in July 2022 with a planned 18-episode first season. Filming began in March 2023 in New York, with Michael Cuesta, Jeffrey Nachmanoff, and David Boyd directing blocks of episodes. Filming was suspended in June due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. Marvel Studios decided to overhaul the series by late September and released Corman, Ord, and the remaining directors. Scardapane, Benson, and Moorhead were hired to rework Born Again and connect it to the Netflix series. They added a new pilot, two additional episodes, and serialized elements. Filming for the nine-episode first season resumed in January 2024 and wrapped in April, with Nachmanoff and Boyd returning to assist Benson and Moorhead. Cuesta, Nachmanoff, and Boyd retained credit for their episodes.

The first season premiered on Disney+ on March 4, 2025, with its first two episodes. The other seven episodes were released through April 15, as part of Phase Five of the MCU. The season received generally positive reviews from critics, who highlighted the character-driven storytelling and performances—particularly those of Cox and D'Onofrio—but had mixed thoughts when comparing it to the original Daredevil series. A second season was confirmed in August 2024.
