When Charlie Cox returned as Daredevil in Disney+<\/a> sequel series Daredevil: Born Again<\/a>, there was much to love \u2013 Hell\u2019s Kitchen\u2019s hero back at it again, Vincent D\u2019Onofrio back on fearsome form as Kingpin, and some shocking turns along the way. (Foggy, no!) But, the series also bore some hallmarks of its tricky production \u2013 Season 1 was retooled from a very different initial iteration of Born Again, reportedly a more law-focused case-of-the-week procedural, without several of the key ingredients from the original Netflix series<\/a>. Now, going into Season 2, the deck is cleared: Daredevil is back, engaged in a massive battle of wills with Kingpin, and Hell\u2019s Kitchen hangs in the balance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe landscape was open, and that was so liberating,\u201d producer Sana Amanat tells Empire of Season 2. \u201cWe were like, \u201cWe can do whatever we want.\u2019\u201d For Matt Murdock, that means building a vigilante army, while physically weakened after taking a bullet for \u2013 of all people \u2013 Wilson Fisk. As for Fisk, now Mayor of New York City, he\u2019s at the height of his powers, cracking down on masked crusaders with his \u2018Safer Streets Initiative\u2019. \u201cWhat does it mean for Fisk when he\u2019s gotten everything he wants?\u201d teases Amanat of where Born Again is going. \u201cWhen you give a person whose thirst cannot be quenched his most valued treasure, is it enough? Or does he squeeze his treasure too hard?\u201d<\/p>\n

At least Matt has some back-up this time, in the form of Krysten Ritter\u2019s returning Jessica Jones<\/a>. Not that she\u2019s dying to join any kind of club. \u201c[Jones] isn\u2019t necessarily a team-up kind of person,\u201d Amanat says. \u201cSo the reason she\u2019s back is because it feels like it\u2019s very personal. She brings edginess and lightness \u2014 Daredevil can be very dark and dramatic, and she cuts through the BS in a really fun way.\u201d Get ready for Born Again to be\u2026 well, born again.<\/p>\n
