Daredevil: Born Againseason 2’s newest release update places the next chapter of theMCUseries in an especially important point in the franchise’s schedule. After a 7-year wait, Daredevil has returned for his second solo show, this time as a concrete and confirmed part ofthe MCU timeline. Though an almost decade-long hiatus is unusual for the superhero genre, this doesn’t appear to have diminished the impact ofDaredevil: Born Again, especially since the point in time at which it has released looks to have coincided with the MCU leaning more into the R-rated side of Marvel’s comic history.
Daredevil: Born Againseason 1’s endingunderscores this idea, and leaves the series in a particularly exciting state for the second season to follow up on. While some aspects ofDaredevil: Born Againseason 2have been gleaned from set photos, relatively little is known about what this next stretch of the show will contain still. However, the latest information about when to expectDaredevil: Born Againseason 2 does make its important place in the timeline itself clear.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Is Set To Release In March 2026
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2’s Release Window Has Gotten More Than One Update
Daredevil: Born Againseason 2 was confirmed to be looking at a 2026 release window in February 2025, cementing a thankfully short wait for the follow-up to the first part of the series. Marvel Studios' Head of Streaming - and notably one ofDaredevil: Born Againexecutive producers - Brad Winderbaum revealed in aninterview with Screen Rant’s Liam Crowleythat “Season 2 will come out next year, and then hopefully season 3 and season infinity after that.”
Mercifully, further news about the matter has come relatively quickly, thanks seemingly in no small part to the show’s debut coming just a month after this. Following theDaredevil: Born Againseason 1 finale’s release on June 12, 2025, showrunner Dario Scardapane posted on Instagram to celebrate and thank those he worked alongside, while also revealingthe month Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will be released in: namely, that ofMarch 2026.
This makes sense given filming is already underway for the second season, but is still a pleasant surprise given it was previously unclear whether the wait for the next chapter ofDaredevil: Born Again’s story would take audiences into the later parts of 2026 before its release. As it stands, this also means thatDaredevil: Born Againseason 2 looks like it will be the last project to release before one of the most important and most major MCU movies in the franchise, which makes this debut window all the more interesting.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2’s Timing Places It Very Close To A Major MCU Milestone
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Releases Very Close To Avengers: Doomsday
Daredevil: Born Againseason 2’s March 2026 release is exciting first and foremost because it means there should only be a year exactly between the first and second season. However, it’s also worth keeping in mind that this window bringsDaredevil: Born Againseason 2’s release strikingly close to one of the biggest movies in the MCU’s upcoming roster, sinceAvengers: Doomsdaywill release two months after this March 2026 window, as the film is now set to release on Aug 07, 2025, after previous delays to the movie itself and the wider MCU release roster.
This not only means thatDaredevil: Born Againseason 2 comes at an especially crucial point in the franchise, but also that its reception is paramount in some ways to the next Avengers movie sinceAvengers: Endgame, since anything less than a stellar response would risk sabotaging audience belief in the MCU at a vital juncture in its overall release schedule. While other MCU releases are more likely to actually set upDoomsday’s story thanDaredevil: Born Again, this promisingly seems to speak to some real confidence in this second season, since it’s scheduled for such a crucial time.
Interestingly, ifDaredevil: Born Againseason 2 follows the weekly release format that the first season set out, then it andAvengers: Doomsdaywill run even closer to one another, with only a few weeks at most between the MCU sequel season and the fifth Avengers movie. Indeed, if season 2 were to release in the same stretch as season 1 did in 2026, it would end with just over two weeks between it andAvengers: Doomsday, much in the same way that the season 1 finale’s release hit the small screen two weeks and two days prior to May 2025’sThunderbolts*.
Why Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Is The Perfect MCU Release To Come Out Just Before Avengers: Doomsday
GivenDaredevil: Born Againseason 1 is one of the MCU’s most well-regarded and highly-rated projects in recent history, having its next chapter release just before one of the franchise’s biggest movies makes sense. This is especially true givenAvengers: Doomsdayis a movie that needs to contend not only with the legacy ofAvengers: Endgame, but also reestablish the Avengers movies as a foothold in the MCU after what will be by then 7 years without one, placing it in a somewhat precarious position given the mixed results of some of the recent Marvel releases.
With this scenario in mind,havingDaredevil: Born Againseason 2 release so close beforehand not only ensures audiences can not only be reminded of just how good MCU releases can be, but also that their hopes for future projects can be stoked. IfDaredevil: Born Againseason 2 adapts the Devil’s Reign or Shadowland storylines as has been theorized, this could also bode well for the MCU in another way, showing how well the MCU can adapt comic storylines such as the onesAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Wars’multiversal stories seem teed to take on.
WhileDaredevil: Born Againseason 2 doesn’t look like it will have any major connections toAvengers: Doomsday’s plot currently, this arguably just follows an MCU trend. Broadly speaking, the releases that have come directly before Avengers movies haven’t been all that directly connected to the films in question, withGuardians Of The Galaxyhaving no link toAvengers: Age Of Ultron, andBlack PantherandCaptain Marvelonly really being connected toAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers: Endgamein the same they showed the stories of characters who would be in these installments.
Logistically, this makes sense, as these releases also offered the chance to demonstrate how engaging the MCU could be without giving prospective Avengers viewers homework they’d need to see before the movies in question - which is somethingBorn Againseason 2 looks set to mirror. As such,Daredevil: Born Againseason 2’s release timing might just allow it to be the best of both worlds - in that it looks to be a perfect release to build hype for upcoming MCU installments and thusAvengers: Doomsday, while also providing a pleasant and non-obligatory contrast with the expected multiversal adventures.
