Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 sees Charlie Cox back in the lead role

Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 is an upcoming superhero television series produced for Disney+ by Marvel Studios. Born Again is a soft reboot of the Netflix show Daredevil, created by Drew Godard, that ran for three seasons. Remarkably, Born Again Season 1 will run for an unprecedented 18 episodes making it the longest television show produced by Marvel Studios. As a standalone series, it is the eleventh installment of Phase Five of the MCU. Matt Corman and Chris Ord are credited as executive producers of the show. Creator of The Punisher, Dario Scardapane is the showrunner of the series while Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead are directing the show. 

Having surprised fans with some small cameo appearances, Charlie Cox is finally back in the role of Daredevil/Matt Murdock. The fan-favorite provides strong continuity with the previous seasons alongside the infamous villain dogging his every step. Wilson Fisk/Kingpin is played once again by the inimitable Vincent D’Onofrio, who mastered the cool rage of this New York City crime boss over three seasons. The stage is set for them to continue their feud that may even begin as early as their slated appearances in the Marvel television series Echo, a spinoff from Hawkeye. Karen and Foggy are played by returning cast members Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson. Joe Bernthal is confirmed to be playing Frank Castle in Season 1 while Sandrine Holt is cast as Vanessa Fisk. Margarita Levieva, Arty Froushan, Sandrine Holt, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini and Nikki M. James make up the expanded cast.
