Is Daredevil: Born Again coming to a close after its second season? That’s the surprising suggestion from Charlie Cox, the actor behind the iconic Marvel hero. While attending GalaxyCon, Cox described the upcoming season of the Disney+ series as the ‘final season,’ a shocking revelation that left fans wondering if this would mark the end of the Daredevil revival we’ve been waiting years for. 
The second season, which is scheduled for release in 2026, could potentially be the last, but there’s still some hope on the horizon.
Enter Vincent D’Onofrio, who plays the menacing Kingpin. After Cox’s comment, D’Onofrio took to social media to tease that there’s still a ‘good chance’ of a third season. While Cox referred to the second season as the ‘final season’ during a GalaxyCon appearance, D’Onofrio’s optimism suggests that the story may not be over just yet.
Fans of the show were quick to react to Cox’s statement, with many speculating that the two-season limit might be a creative choice rather than a definitive end. Cox himself noted that the upcoming second season would feature something ‘unique to our show’-an element that doesn’t appear in the comics, which might give the series a chance to make its own mark in the Marvel universe.
Despite the buzz, Daredevil: Born Again has had a bumpy journey since its announcement. The show was one of the most anticipated new Marvel series on Disney+, with Cox reprising his role as Matt Murdock/Daredevil after his Netflix tenure. However, the show has struggled to find its identity, trying to balance its legacy with the new direction Disney+ has for the character. The first season was a mix of old and new, with some elements feeling like a continuation of the Netflix series and others acting as a fresh reboot of the character.
With the second season potentially being the final one, there’s still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the future of Daredevil in the MCU. If D’Onofrio’s hopes are to be believed, the future could still hold some surprises. For now, fans will have to wait and see how the second season pans out. At least we know it will be the first season designed with the Netflix history in mind, promising the return of Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones and a new approach to Daredevil’s legacy.
