It’s a great time to be a Daredevil fan, and it has for a while now. Marvel first brought back Charlie Cox to play Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and although he was restricted to being just a lawyer and not a vigilante, his presence was still undeniably exciting. Cox later returned as Daredevil for the first time in the MCU in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law before later returning briefly in Echo. He also had a role in the animated series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Cox officially returned to the role in a leading capacity last year with the release of Daredevil: Born Again, which also brought back other Marvel Netflix veterans like Jon Bernthal as The Punisher, Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, and Wilson Bethel as Bullseye.
Around a year after Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 went off the air, the hit crime series is officially set to return tonight at 6 pm PST and 9 pm EST. While it was thought that the first episode would release tonight and subsequent episodes would follow every Tuesday at 6/9 until the Season 2 finale on May 12, this is no longer the case. Marvel Studios confirmed this morning that, while tonight will still consist of a one-episode premiere, Episodes 2 and 3 will be released next Tuesday at 6/9 before things return to normal, meaning the Season 5 finale will now air on May 5. This allows room for the newly-announced Punisher special to premiere on May 12 without any conflict from the Born Again Season 2 finale. Jon Bernthal just shared the first look at The Punisher special, titled One Last Kill, this morning.
What Does This Mean for ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2?

There are likely a few reasons that the Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 release schedule has been switched up like this on the same day as the premiere. These two episodes may pair well together and are more suited to airing at the same time, but Marvel also likely wants the release of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher special to not confuse fans or leave them curious if he’ll show up in the Season 2 finale. It’s been confirmed that Bernthal won’t be back as Frank Castle in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, but he will reprise his role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Check out the first episode of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 on Disney+ tonight at 6/9 and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the series.
