The highly anticipated Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 has taken the spotlight at the New York Comic Con, where fans were treated to the first trailer for the upcoming season. Charlie Cox, who reprises his iconic role as Daredevil, graced the stage alongside Krysten Ritter, who is officially returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Jessica Jones. This thrilling season is set to premiere on Disney+ in March 2026.
The trailer showcased several exciting moments, particularly the much-anticipated return of Ritter’s Jessica Jones. Fans will remember her from her own self-titled Marvel series on Netflix, as well as her previous collaboration with Daredevil in The Defenders. Another surprising moment in the trailer included the appearance of Elden Henson, who portrayed Foggy Nelson. His shocking demise in the series premiere of Born Again left fans in disbelief, but Henson will be back for Season 2.
Vincent D’Onofrio's portrayal of Kingpin was prominent throughout the trailer, featuring a gripping scene where he is seen boxing an opponent in a ring. This adds an intense dynamic to the storyline, as Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again, which was released on Disney+ in early 2025, reintroduced many beloved characters from Netflix’s darker version of Daredevil.
In the inaugural season, Cox’s Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, faced off against D’Onofrio's Wilson Fisk, who has ascended to the position of mayor of New York City. The emotional depth of the series was amplified when the killer assassin Bullseye, played by Wilson Bethel from Netflix’s Daredevil, murdered Foggy Nelson, plunging Matt into a deep depressive state and prompting him to retire his Daredevil persona.
As anticipation builds for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, it has been confirmed that Krysten Ritter will reprise her role as Jessica Jones. Additionally, horror icon Matthew Lillard is set to join the cast this season, promising to bring fresh excitement to the series. In a remarkable development, the show has already received an early renewal for Season 3 this summer.
The cast of Born Again also includes talented actors such as Margarita Levieva, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, and Ayelet Zurer. Fans will also be thrilled to see Jon Bernthal return as the Punisher, having made his MCU debut in Born Again. Bernthal is set to star in his own dedicated MCU TV special, as well as appear in next summer’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
As fans eagerly await the premiere of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, the excitement surrounding the series continues to grow, promising an exhilarating experience for both new viewers and long-time fans alike.
