Daredevil: Born Again was announced with Charlie Cox returning in the titular character role. The new series will be coming to Disney+ with an 18-episode first season in 2024. Joining Cox on the show is Vincent D’Onofrio, who reprises his role from recent Marvel series as mob boss Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin.

The announcement was made at San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. This news comes after Cox and D’Onofrio were confirmed to be returning for the Disney+ series Echo, which will release in the summer of 2023, placing it before Daredevil: Born Again.

A new series centered on Cox’s character had been awaited by fans since Netflix’s Daredevil was canceled in 2018. The show streamed for three seasons and total 39 episodes, with Cox also appearing in The Defenders. Rumors about a Daredevil series revival started following the appearance of Daredevil (Cox) in Spider-Man: No Way Home and main antagonist Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) in Disney+ series Hawkeye.

Talk about potential new installment ramped up when the Marvel Netflix series, including Daredevil and team-up limited series The Defenders, moved to Disney+ this past spring after the rights to the titles reverted to Disney. It was revealed in May that a new Daredevil series was in the works at Disney+ with Covert Affairs creators Matt Corman and Chris Ord attached to write and executive produce.

Daredevil is an attorney by day and crimefighter by night otherwise known by the name Matt Murdock. Cox will additionally reprise the role, voicing him in the new animated series Spider-Man: Freshman Year. The actor also made an appearance as Daredevil in a She-Hulk: Attorney at Law trailer unveiled in San Diego, though his casting in that show hadn’t previously been announced. That series starring Tatiana Maslany debuts on Disney+ on August 17.
