One of the best things about Born Again is that so many of the original cast members are back. Charlie Cox is obviously returning as Matt Murdock/Daredevil. Vincent D'Onofrio is back as the terrifying Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. And fan favorites Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll are reprising their roles as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page. Even Jon Bernthal's Punisher is rumored to be involved in Season 2!

What about the story? Well Born Again is meant to be a continuation of the Netflix series but also its own thing. We will see Matt Foggy and Karen in a good place at the start but of course things are going to get complicated. Kingpin is now pursuing political power after his actions in Echo. As crime rises in New York City Daredevil and Kingpin's paths are set to collide once again. But there is also a new villain entering the scene making things even more dangerous for Matt.

Expect some serious inner conflict for both Daredevil and Kingpin. Both characters have tried to move on from their past identities. Matt wants to be just a lawyer and not Daredevil anymore. Fisk wants to be seen as Mayor of New York City doing good things. But as the showrunner Dario Scardapane said this tension will become too much and things are going to "unravel and explode". Sounds intense right?

Even before season 1 drops there are already rumors swirling about season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. According to reports both Jon Bernthal as The Punisher and Wilson Bethel as Bullseye are expected to return for the second season. This would be huge for fans of those characters. We already knew Punisher was getting his own Disney+ special presentation in 2026 so his return to the Daredevil world makes sense.

Bullseye's return is more interesting. There have been rumors that Daredevil might take revenge on Bullseye and maybe even kill him. Could it be that Bullseye's return is somehow tied to Daredevil's potential darker turn? We will have to wait and see. Marvel Head of Streaming Brad Winderbaum has said that they are planning for Born Again to become an annual release with season 2 coming next year and hopefully even more seasons after that. It looks like they are really invested in this corner of the MCU.
