LOS ANGELES (Azat TV) – The highly anticipated first trailer for the second season of Marvel Studios’ “Daredevil: Born Again” has been released, offering a grim look at Matt Murdock’s continued struggle against Wilson Fisk’s iron grip on New York City. The trailer confirms the return of several fan-favorite characters, including Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, and sets the stage for the season’s premiere on Disney+ on March 24, 2026.
Kingpin’s Reign and Daredevil’s Fight
The new footage, released on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, initially presents a deceptively sweet picture: Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) sharing a dance, Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) enjoying a milkshake, and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) thriving in his new role as Mayor of New York City. However, this facade quickly shatters, revealing Fisk’s continued corruption and his transformation of the city into a police state.
According to the official synopsis, in Season 2, Mayor Wilson Fisk actively hunts down Daredevil, now deemed public enemy number one. Beneath the horned mask, Matt Murdock is forced to fight back from the shadows, determined to dismantle the Kingpin’s corrupt empire and redeem his home. The season’s tagline, “Resist. Rebel. Rebuild.,” underscores the intense battle for the soul of New York that will unfold across eight gripping episodes.
Familiar Faces Return, New Mysteries Emerge
Beyond Cox and D’Onofrio, the trailer confirms the return of several key players from the original Netflix “Daredevil” series. Deborah Ann Woll reprises her role as Karen Page, and Wilson Bethel returns as Benjamin Poindexter, also known as Bullseye. Ayelet Zurer is also confirmed to return as Vanessa Fisk, Wilson Fisk’s wife, further cementing the connections to the prior series.
One of the most celebrated reveals in the trailer is the long-awaited return of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, the super-strong private investigator last seen in her own Netflix series. Her presence signals a significant expansion of the ‘Defenders’ universe within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, prompting speculation about potential reappearances of other Defenders. The trailer shows Jones back in action, engaging in her characteristic sass with Matt and effortlessly dispatching goons.
The season also introduces Matthew Lillard as the mysterious Mr. Charles, whose allegiance remains unclear from the trailer footage. Fans also caught a glimpse of Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, though it was not immediately clear if his appearance would be in flashbacks, given the events of the first season finale.
Premiere Details and Future Outlook
“Daredevil: Born Again” Season 2 will stream exclusively on Disney+, with the premiere scheduled for March 24, 2026, at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET. The season is comprised of eight episodes. It was not immediately clear if all eight episodes would be released simultaneously, as was the case with some previous Disney+ Marvel series like “Wonder Man,” or if the platform would revert to a traditional weekly release schedule.
The series, created by Dario Scardapane, Chris Ord, and Matt Corman, continues to build on the gritty, street-level storytelling that defined its predecessor. The re-introduction of characters like Jessica Jones not only excites long-time fans but also serves to bridge the gap between the former Netflix Marvel shows and the broader MCU narrative. Reports indicate that a third season of “Daredevil: Born Again” is already in production and is expected to debut in 2027, signaling Marvel Studios’ strong commitment to Daredevil’s story arc.
The strategic re-integration of popular characters from the original Netflix Marvel series, particularly Jessica Jones, highlights Marvel Studios’ commitment to validating previous fan investments while expanding the narrative possibilities for ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ within the interconnected Marvel Cinematic Universe.
