Daredevil: Born Again director says season 2 is a "resistance tale" against Mayor Fisk: "We're going to unfold all of that very, very quickly"

Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle AKA the Punisher, and Carlie Cox as Daredevil in Daredevil: Born Again.

Daredevil: Born Again season 1 just wrapped on Disney Plus with a brutal finale that put Mayor Wilson Fisk in absolute control of New York City, with a violent crackdown on supposed "vigilantes" leaving blood running in the streets. And with Daredevil: Born Again season 2 already in production, director Aaron Moorhead, who co-directed the final three episodes of season 1, is setting the stage for a "resistance" against the corrupt Mayor Fisk.

"The end of season 1 is a tragedy of some kind. And while it’s not exactly a full-blown stand-up-and-cheer moment as there’s very mixed emotions in those final seconds, you get the sense that there’s a building of a resistance," Moorhead tells THR. "So that is the kernel of where season 2 is going to go. The board is completely set in which Mayor Fisk has now become Kingpin again, but with New York in his grasp, and then there's this vigilante thing that now has to go completely underground. So that's where we start, and we’re going to unfold all of that very, very quickly. It’s a resistance tale."
