Vincent D’Onofrio Hints at ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 3 — Says Plans Are in Place

by

Marvel’s “Daredevil: Born Again” is progressing with its second installment, and things seem quite bustling backstage. The initial season managed to recapture some of the same vigor from the previous Netflix series, delighting fans with the return of beloved characters such as Charlie Cox portraying Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio embodying Wilson Fisk.

Deborah Ann Woll reappeared as Karen Page, while Elden Henson made a comeback as Foggy Nelson. In addition to these familiar faces, some new characters were introduced to bridge the Netflix series (the Defenderverse) with the expansive Marvel Universe on screen.

Initially, the first season was intended to have 18 episodes, but that idea was revised. Instead, Marvel opted to split it into two segments. Notably, a second season has been confirmed and is set to debut in March 2026 with eight episodes. Marvel also announced that this season will be part of Phase Six within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Jon Bernthal’s character, The Punisher, is also set to star in a standalone special. This project was conceived during the filming of Daredevil: Born Again, and it’s scheduled for release in 2026 under Marvel Studios’ “Special Presentations” banner.

I’m thrilled to share that many familiar faces are rejoining the cast! Charlie Cox is stepping back into the role of Daredevil, and Wilson Bethel is once again bringing Frank Castle to life. Moreover, Vincent D’Onofrio will continue his portrayal of Fisk, now serving as New York’s mayor. Margarita Levieva takes on the part of Heather Glenn, one of Matt Murdock’s past loves, and Ayelet Zurer reprises her role as Vanessa Fisk.

One exciting development is the return of Foggy Nelson, who was written off in the first season. However, Marvel’s Sana Amanat expressed that they couldn’t envision a Daredevil series without actor Elden Henson in some capacity. She stated, “We couldn’t imagine a Daredevil season without [Henson].” This has left fans speculating about the potential ways this could occur.

In a 2006 comic narrative titled “The Secret Life of Foggy Nelson,” Foggy simulates his own demise and goes into witness protection. Some spectators speculate that the series could delve into this storyline. However, others note that characters in the Netflix productions have previously returned from death. Nonetheless, directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have cautioned against overly high expectations, stating that “dying frequently does not necessarily imply one is truly deceased.

Filming for Season 2 kicked off in February 2025, taking place primarily in New York City. Scenes have been shot at Josie’s Bar in Brooklyn and various locations such as Chelsea. For now, they’re calling it “Out the Kitchen 2” during production.

It’s anticipated that production will conclude by July 2025. The directors for the upcoming season are Benson and Moorhead, Solvan Naim, Iain B. MacDonald, and Angela Barnes. Hillary Fyfe Spera and Jeffrey Waldron return as cinematographers, maintaining the visual style and aesthetic from the initial season.

Vincent D’Onofrio added fuel to fan discussions, sharing in an interview with Awards Buzz that the team is brainstorming concepts for a potential third season. However, the likelihood of this happening will depend on the success of season two.

If granted the opportunity, we have a strategy,” D’Onofrio expressed. “The audience plays a crucial role – they should watch, get engrossed. It’s our job to satisfy them and tell the tale effectively. Excitement is building on our end.



If viewers wish to continue following the adventures of Daredevil and Kingpin beyond season two, they should make sure to keep watching and offer their support for the series. The foundation has been set by Marvel; it’s now up to the audience to decide its future.
