Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock in 'Daredevil: Born Again' — Disney+ / Marvel Studios

It’s almost time to head back to Hell’s Kitchen as Charlie Cox‘s Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, will take center stage once more in Marvel’s upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again.

As we await more news on the show’s arrival, we’re breaking down everything we know about the premiere date, cast, and more. Scroll down for the latest updates, and let us know what you’re looking forward to in the comments section, below.

When Will Daredevil: Born Again Premiere?

Daredevil: Born Again‘s premiere date is officially set for March 2025 following an announcement made at Disney’s 2024 Upfront presentation in New York City. The information is surely a welcome update as production on the upcoming series resumed earlier this year. Filming on the series began in early 2023, but was delayed due to strikes and a creative overhaul. Shooting recommenced in early 2024, with fans spotting several of the stars in the streets of New York City.

Since Upfronts, it was announced at New York Comic Con 2024 that Daredevil: Born Again would officially debut on Disney+ beginning Tuesday, March 4, 2025.

Who Is in Daredevil: Born Again?

Charlie Cox is back as the titular character, who has popped up in Spider-Man: No Way Home, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and most recently Echo. He originated the role in Netflix‘s former Daredevil series, which is now exclusively on Disney+. Joining Cox is Vincent D’Onofrio as big bad Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin, and Jon Bernthal as vigilante Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher. Fans got a tease of a potential team-up between Daredevil and the Punisher in newly-released behind-the-scenes images.

Also returning are Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson as Karen Page and Foggy Nelson as well as Wilson Bethel as Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter. Meanwhile, other previously announced costars include Margarita Levieva and Michael Gandolfini.

It was recently revealed through behind-the-scenes photos, that Ayelet Zurer, who played Vanessa Fisk in the original Daredevil was on set in character, seemingly reprising her role. She was filming alongside her onscreen husband, D’Onofrio. And Bernthal offered a closer glimpse at the crew behind the scenes with an Instagram photo of himself, Woll, and Cox. Woll commented, “Just hanging out. ❤.”

Since then, Marvel has confirmed Woll and Henson’s return as Karen and Foggy alongside Bernthal as Frank Castle when they appeared alongside Cox and D’Onofrio at Disney’s D23 presentation in August 2024.

What Is Daredevil: Born Again About?

There is no official logline or description for Daredevil: Born Again‘s plot, but there have been hints at where the story may pick up as an end credit sequence from Echo teased Wilson Fisk’s desire to run for Mayor. This is a plot plucked from the pages of Marvel’s comic books from a run in which Fisk does serve as Mayor of New York City, putting him in direct opposition with Daredevil. Stay tuned for more on the show’s official plot as production continues to take shape.

Is Daredevil: Born Again Continuing the Story from Marvel’s Daredevil?

When TV Insider caught up with D’Onofrio and Cox at Disney Upfronts in May 2024, they hinted that Daredevil: Born Again will be a continuation of the characters introduced in Netflix’s former iteration. Cox confirmed there is “a lot” of crossover with the former series, with D’Onofrio noting, “It originally wasn’t going to be at all, but now it’s a lot.” This is further supported by the roster of stars set to reprise their roles for the street-level hero’s journey.

Does Daredevil: Born Again Have a Trailer?

As we await the official premiere date and trailer, fans at Disney’s D23 got a closer look at the action with a sneak peek at the upcoming series, and another tease was shown at New York Comic Con. Marvel has since unveiled footage in a “Look Ahead” tease offering a glimpse at the return of Cox, D’Onofrio, and more stars. Stay tuned for the official trailer as we look forward to the series’ arrival, and check out the first footage, above.
