In the mid-2010s, three seasons of Daredevil introduced audiences to the underbelly of Hell's Kitchen for one of the best-reviewed Marvel series of all time, which why it was such a shock when Daredevil was cancelled by Netflix in 2018.
While Charlie Cox's Daredevil has made brief appearances in more recent, lighter MCU projects, namely She-Hulk and Spider-Man: No Way Home, few people expected the supe to get another instalment of his own solo show. Well, we were wrong. The hero has, in fact, been born again, and while he may returning be on the relatively chaste Disney+, Marvel has promised more grit and action than ever.
If you're wondering where to stream Daredevil: Born Again online or want a full look at the episode release schedule, check out the details below.

What Is Daredevil: Born Again About?
Daredevil: Born Again is a sequel to 2015's Daredevil show, with most characters (and their associated plot points) carrying over to the new series. It's unclear how exactly Born Again fits into the MCU timeline, but since the solo series, Charlie Cox's Daredevil has had a primary role in The Defenders, with smaller appearances in She-Hulk and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Daredevil's primary antagonist, Wilson Fisk, appeared in the Disney+ show Echo.
IGN recently did a deep dive into Frank Miller's original Born Again arc, which serves as inspiration for the new show's title, though the show will not be a direct adaptation. Instead, here's Marvel's official synopsis for Daredevil: Born Again:
Will There Be a Season 2?
Daredevil: Born Again was actually originally planned as a 19-episode season, but this is the streaming age, so now that season is split in two. The first season is nine episodes, while the second season will feature the second half (another nine episodes) of the original arc. There’s no word on when the second season will arrive on Disney+.
What About the Rest of 'The Defenders'?
Daredevil was once part of The Defenders, which ran for one season after Daredevil as well as the Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist TV shows. With the return of Daredevil, we might see comebacks from the rest of The Defenders. As of now, Marvel's head streaming, television, and animation has simply stated they're "exploring" the idea in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
