The first season of the American television series Daredevil: Born Again, based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Daredevil, sees Matt Murdock fighting for justice and on a collision course against former mob boss Wilson Fisk who is running for mayor in New York. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films and television series of the franchise. The season was produced by Marvel Studios, via its Marvel Television label, with Dario Scardapane serving as showrunner with Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead as lead directors.
Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio reprises their respective roles as Murdock and Fisk from Marvel's Netflix television series and prior Marvel Studios productions, with Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, Ayelet Zurer, Jon Bernthal, Wilson Bethel, and Jeremy Earl also starring. Development of the series began by March 2022. Christopher Ord and Matthew Corman were hired as head writers by May, and gave the season an episodic structure and lighter tone than Marvel Television's Netflix series, Daredevil (2015–2018). Born Again was announced in July with a planned 18-episode first season. Filming began in early March 2023 in New York, but was suspended in June due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. Marvel Studios decided to overhaul the season by late September and released Corman, Ord, and the initial directors, though Michael Cuesta, Jeffrey Nachmanoff, and David Boyd were still credited for episodes they had directed. Scardapane, Benson, and Moorhead were hired the following month, and the approach changed to be serialized and more directly connected to the Netflix series. Filming for a nine-episode first season resumed in January 2024 and wrapped in April.
The first season is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on March 4, 2025, and will consist of nine episodes, as part of Phase Five of the MCU. A second season was confirmed in August 2024.
