In the mid-2010s, fans were treated to three gripping seasons of *Daredevil*, which delved deep into the gritty streets of Hell's Kitchen. Hailed as one of the best-reviewed Marvel series, the show's abrupt cancellation by Netflix in 2018 left fans in shock. However, Charlie Cox's portrayal of Daredevil has since graced the screens in lighter MCU projects like *She-Hulk* and *Spider-Man: No Way Home*. The unexpected revival of the series, aptly titled *Daredevil: Born Again*, promises even more intense action and drama, despite its move to the family-friendly Disney+ platform.

Meanwhile, former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) pursues his own political ambitions in New York. As their past identities resurface, both men find themselves on a collision course.

The first season consists of nine episodes, while the second season will feature the remaining nine episodes of the original arc. There's no confirmed release date yet for the second season on Disney+.
