The cancellation of Daredevil, Netflix’s flagship Marvel series, was a blindsiding blow in 2018. Though it wasn’t officially a part of Marvel’s cinematic universe, it was easily one of the best Marvel projects — if only because it was such a wild departure in terms of tone and story. Daredevil elevated the stakes of a traditional ground-level story: while the Avengers were off preventing world-ending threats, the Netflix universe had problems of its own. Charlie Cox’s blind anti-hero was at the center of it all, bringing one of Marvel’s most nuanced heroes into live-action.
Though Netflix axed Daredevil in 2018 — along with the other shows in its “Defenders” universe — it was impossible to deny their potential. And surprisingly, Marvel seemed to agree. It’s taken five years, but Cox has finally returned as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. Daredevil: Born Again won’t be his first adventure in the MCU, but it is the most anticipated, as it’s as close to Daredevil Season 4 as we’re ever going to get. Here’s everything you need to know about the Born Again premiere, from its release date and time to the plot points you need to remember.
