Daredevil: Born Again's Showrunner Talks Beloved Netflix Returns
Feb 12, 2025 3:27 PMThe showrunner of Daredevil: Born Again passionately fought for the inclusion of Netflix's favorite characters, Karen and Foggy, in the upcoming series. After a significant overhaul of the original series in 2023, the revamped show plans to maintain links to its Netflix predecessor rather than creating a new narrative entirely. Dario Scardapane expressed that the absence of these characters would compromise the story's integrity, contending they are essential to Matthew Murdock’s journey. The series intends to build on the characters' arcs which were left unresolved in the Netflix finale. Daredevil: Born Again is set to premiere on Disney Plus on March 5, offering fans a chance to reconnect with the characters they cherish.
Will the new Daredevil series capture the essence of the original Netflix show?While it remains to be seen if Daredevil: Born Again can recapture the magic of the original series, the commitment to include beloved characters and the show's direction suggests a strong inclination to honor the previous narrative.
Daredevil is a superhero television series based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. The first three seasons, released on Netflix, were critically acclaimed for their darker tone and character development. The showrunner's dedication to preserving key characters reflects the strong fan sentiments stemming from the original series, which concluded with unresolved storylines and character dynamics that are central to Daredevil's identity. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how these relationships evolve in the new series on Disney Plus.

It’s awesome to see the showrunner doubling down on what made the original series so compelling—Karen and Foggy aren’t just sidekicks, they’re the heart of Matt’s world. Here’s hoping the new series keeps that Netflix-level grit while weaving seamlessly into the MCU’s bigger picture.

It’s great to see the showrunner fighting to keep Karen and Foggy in the mix—those characters are such a big part of what made the Netflix series feel grounded and human. Fingers crossed the new series can balance that gritty charm with the MCU’s broader tone without losing what made Daredevil special in the first place.
