Daredevil: Born Again, a Marvel revival series featuring Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, premiered its first two episodes on Disney Plus on March 4. The show brings back characters such as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, the Punisher, Foggy Nelson, and Karen Page from the original Netflix series. While it maintains a connective thread to the first iteration, Daredevil: Born Again is also its own story, set in the streets of New York City. The plot follows Matt, Foggy, and Karen in a good space, while Fisk pursues his political ambitions, leading to increased crime levels and reigniting the friction between Kingpin and Daredevil. A new villain enters the scene, setting the stage for a battle of dark sides both within and in the streets.
Showrunner and executive producer Dario Scardapane explained that both Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk will face inner conflicts in the series. They struggle to maintain their identities as they try to move past their former selves, leading to a point where things start to unravel and explode. The tension between the characters builds up as they are pushed to their limits, setting the stage for intense confrontations and revelations. As the story unfolds, viewers will see the characters evolve and face challenges that test their beliefs and motivations.
The release schedule for Daredevil: Born Again includes a total of nine episodes, with the first two premiering in March and subsequent episodes following weekly on Disney Plus. Season 2 will continue the story, with the series split into two installments for viewers to engage with. Those interested in catching up with the original three seasons of Marvel’s Daredevil can binge-watch them on Disney Plus, either through a standalone subscription or as part of the Disney Bundles, which offer additional streaming services like Hulu and ESPN Plus at varying price points. Disney Plus subscriptions start at $10 per month for a basic plan with ads, offering options to upgrade to an ad-free experience or to save through bundled services.
