Plot of Daredevil: Born Again
Daredevil: Born Again picks up years after the events of the original Daredevil Netflix series. Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer and vigilante, has stopped operating as Daredevil. However, when Wilson Fisk becomes Mayor of New York City and launches an Anti-Vigilante Task Force, Murdock is forced to return.
Season 1 followed Murdock's renewed battle for justice, both in court and on the streets. Fisk gains control of the city and enforces martial law. This sparks conflict as vigilantes are hunted down. By the end of season 1, Murdock realizes he cannot win alone.
Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again will focus on Murdock forming alliances to take on Fisk. Jessica Jones joins him as a key ally. Her return adds a powerful dynamic to the resistance. The season explores their uneasy but strong partnership as they fight a shared enemy.
The second season will come out in March 2026, but filming is still going on all over New York. The stories will pick up where season 1 left off and likely will go deeper into the moral choices each hero has to make.
Daredevil: Born Again is currently streaming on Disney+.
