Charlie Cox is hanging up the horns after one last ride through Hell’s Kitchen. Daredevil: Born Again will wrap up its story with its upcoming third season on Disney+, bringing the latest chapter of Cox’s Matt Murdock to a close. The final season has already finished filming and is set to arrive on the streaming platform in 2027. The news, first reported by The Hollywood Reporter on September 21, 2026, was later confirmed by Variety and other major outlets. The decision came roughly two months after production on Season 3 wrapped, with Marvel Studios opting not to continue the series beyond this final batch of episodes.
Where and When to Watch the Final Season
The third and final season of Daredevil: Born Again is expected to premiere on Disney+ sometime in 2027. Reports point to a likely arrival in March 2027, based on the pattern of previous season releases, though Marvel Studios and Disney+ have not yet announced an exact release date. Production on the eight-episode season wrapped around July 2026, with the show now in the final stages of post-production.
For global audiences, the release will follow the standard Disney+ rollout. In the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and most international markets, episodes will stream weekly on Disney+. In India, the series will be available on JioHotstar, which carried Season 2 beginning in March 2026. The final season picks up roughly six months after the events of Season 2, which ended with Matt Murdock in prison after a climactic courthouse riot.
Charlie Cox Returns With a Full Defenders Lineup
The final season brings back Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, the two central figures whose conflict has driven the series from the start. Deborah Ann Woll returns as Karen Page, and Wilson Bethel is back as Bullseye. Elden Henson appears as Foggy Nelson, though his character was killed in the Season 1 premiere, so his return is likely through flashback or dream sequences.
What makes this final season stand out is the return of the full Defenders roster from the Netflix-era Marvel shows. Krysten Ritter is back as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter returns as Luke Cage, and Finn Jones reprises his role as Danny Rand/Iron Fist. Elodie Yung also returns as Elektra Natchios. This marks the closest the franchise has come to reuniting the entire street-level team since the original Defenders crossover series.
Dario Scardapane Leaves During Post-Production
A notable behind-the-scenes change has accompanied the final season announcement. Showrunner Dario Scardapane has parted ways with Marvel Studios after his contract expired and was not renewed. Scardapane joined the series during a major creative reset following the 2023 Hollywood strikes, after original head writers Matt Corman and Chris Ord were let go. He had previously worked as a writer and executive producer on Netflix’s The Punisher.
Scardapane’s departure came while Season 3 was still in post-production, which is unusual timing. It remains unclear who will oversee the final stages of completing the season. A source indicated that post-production work is already in its final stages. Before his exit, Scardapane had spoken about the show’s direction, saying, “Parts 1 and 2 of this current story, where Fisk becomes the mayor and Matt leads the resistance — that dynamic comes to a place that is inevitable. And no, it’s not the end of Fisk’s story in any way, shape, or form”. He also explained that the series draws from multiple comic book runs, mashing up elements as inspiration and noted that the story “never ends with these two”.
What Fans Are Saying About the Show’s Ending
Reaction to the cancellation has been strong across social media. On X, @Denji__Gaming wrote, “That’s bs. Why are they canceling good shows? Give Daredevil a movie”. Another user, @AliGhezelbash, simply called it an “Atrocious decision”. Some fans are holding onto hope that the character will make the jump to the big screen. @AaronOpie0904 asked, “Because he’s getting a movie?”. @Ski__20 added, “Relax this just means he’s coming to the big screen (I hope)”.
Not all fan discussion has been about the ending. Earlier in June 2026, leaked set photos showing Daredevil’s new costume for Season 3 generated plenty of conversation. One viewer wrote on X, “Hot take: this is the best DD suit imo, outside of the S3 Black Suit with the Mui Thai ropes”. Another added, “They’re on a roll with the suits. No vest (yes!”. Some fans debated whether the cowl should be red or black, with one writing, “Kinda wish the cowl was red”. Another fan’s opinion softened after seeing more images, saying, “It really does look like comic shading”.

The Road from Netflix to Disney+
The journey of Charlie Cox as Daredevil has spanned more than a decade. He first played the blind lawyer-turned-vigilante on Netflix’s Daredevil, which ran for three seasons from 2015 to 2018. That show launched a mini street-level Marvel universe that included Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, culminating in the team-up series The Defenders. Netflix cancelled the series in 2018, but Disney+ revived it as Daredevil: Born Again in 2025.
The first season of Born Again was a strong performer for Disney+. It was the platform’s best series premiere of 2025, drawing 7.5 million viewers worldwide in its first five days. The second season aired in spring 2026 and ended on a major cliffhanger with Matt Murdock’s arrest and the courthouse riot. The final season will serve as the conclusion to this revived chapter, mirroring the three-season run of the original Netflix series.
