Daredevil: Born Again ends with Season 3 – there will be no Season 4
The final episodes of the Marvel series starring Charlie Cox are expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2027
That's it for "Daredevil: Born Again": The Marvel series starring Charlie Cox will end with Season 3. In addition, showrunner Dario Scardapane is reportedly no longer on board, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The series is still in post-production, after filming for the new episodes wrapped up about two months ago. It's unclear who will take over creative leadership until post-production is complete. One thing is certain, however: there will be no Season 4 of "Daredevil: Born Again." The final, third season is expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2027.
Charlie Cox first portrayed the blind lawyer Matt Murdock, who becomes the superhero Daredevil, in the Netflix adaptation of the Marvel material, which ran from 2015 to 2018. Starting in 2025, the series was revived on Disney+ under the title "Daredevil: Born Again." Alongside Cox, Deborah Ann Woll returned as Karen Page and Vincent D'Onofrio as the villain Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin. "Daredevil: Born Again" was created by Dario Scardapane, Matt Corman, and Chris Ord.
Daredevil has been a staple of Marvel Comics for decades. The superhero was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett and made his debut in the first issue of "Daredevil" in April 1964. Frank Miller became one of the most important creative forces behind the comic book series. When the writer and artist took over in the '80s, the stories became darker and more grim. Daredevil was, in a sense, redefined as a character. Miller's influence on the superhero continues to resonate today and is also evident in the TV series adaptations by Netflix and Disney+.
Wonder Man and Spider-Noir were also canceled
With the cancellation of "Daredevil: Born Again," another series from the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been axed in quick succession. About two months ago, the end of "Wonder Man" was announced after just one season. The sudden cancellation of the series starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II came as a complete surprise. It was only in March that it was officially announced that there would be a second season on Disney+. But in the end, that didn't happen. Yet the series was well-received and stood out with a story that set it apart from the crowd of superhero adaptations, as evidenced by its unusual premise:
"Aspiring Hollywood actor Simon Williams is struggling to get his career off the ground. During a chance meeting with Trevor Slattery, an actor whose biggest roles may be well behind him, Simon learns legendary director Von Kovak is remaking the superhero film 'Wonder Man.' These two actors at opposite ends of their careers doggedly pursue life-changing roles in this film as audiences get a peek behind the curtain of the entertainment industry."
About two weeks ago, "Spider-Noir" was also canceled after one season. Although the Prime Video series starring Nicolas Cage isn't set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's yet another series about a Marvel character that has been unexpectedly canceled recently. "Spider-Noir" is about an alternate version of Spider-Man. The story is still set in New York, but has been moved from the present day to the 1930s. Additionally, the protagonist isn't Peter Parker, but Ben Reilly. The aging private detective once fought crime as the masked superhero The Spider. After a personal tragedy, he quit, but is then forced to return to action.
When the new series VisionQuest premieres on Disney+
Some consolation for fans of Marvel series: the upcoming release of the eight-episode miniseries "VisionQuest," starring Paul Bettany. The "WandaVision" spin-off premieres on October 14, 2026, on Disney+. While "WandaVision" primarily focused on Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch, this series centers primarily on Bettany's character, Vision. A new beginning is on the horizon for the android. The official synopsis reads:
"Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponize him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S., and the infamous Ultron. His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run."
It remains to be seen how MCU series will proceed in the future. According to The Hollywood Reporter, however, Marvel Television is said to continually have three to five live-action shows in development. Whether any of them will ultimately see the light of day is certainly another question. However, a project called "Zodiac" is reportedly greenlit. It's said to be a spy thriller. Based on the title, the story could center on the criminal organization Zodiac, which made its debut in issue 72 of the "Avengers" comics, published in 1970. It will be interesting to see if the material is actually adapted into a TV series.
