Is Daredevil: Born Again Still Happening? Everything You Need to Know

Daredevil: Born Again is one of the most anticipated Marvel projects, especially for fans of the original Daredevil series on Netflix. However, due to multiple delays, creative changes, and Hollywood strikes, many fans have wondered: Is Daredevil: Born Again still happening? Here's everything you need to know about its status, release date, cast, and what to expect from the series.

The journey to this premiere has been eventful. Filming began in early 2023 but faced a temporary halt due to the writers' strike in June of that year. By late September 2023, Marvel Studios decided to creatively overhaul the series to align it more closely with the tone of the original Netflix series. This led to changes in the creative team, with Dario Scardapane stepping in as the showrunner.

The series is set several years after the events of the original 'Daredevil' series, with Matt Murdock resuming his fight for justice both as a lawyer and as Daredevil. Simultaneously, Wilson Fisk is running for mayor of New York City, setting the stage for a collision course between the two characters.
