The return of the Man Without Fear is here, and Marvel fans are already diving back into the gritty streets of New York. Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 premiered its first episode on March 24, 2026, bringing Charlie Cox back as Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk. The new season runs for eight episodes, and viewers are now looking ahead to the next installment. The release schedule comes with a small twist: episodes 2 and 3 are dropping together, giving audiences a double dose of action.
When Do Episodes 2 and 3 Release on Disney+?
Following the premiere of Episode 1 on March 24, Disney+ will release the next two episodes on March 31, 2026. This is a slight change from the standard weekly format. New episodes arrive every Tuesday at 6:00 PM PT / 9:00 PM ET. For viewers in other regions:

What to Expect from the New Episodes
Season 2 picks up after the events of the first season, with Wilson Fisk now serving as the Mayor of New York City. His administration has declared war on vigilantes, putting Daredevil in a difficult position. Matt Murdock is forced to operate from the shadows, building a resistance against the Kingpin’s growing control over the city.
The official synopsis for the season states:
“Mayor Wilson Fisk crushes New York City underfoot as he hunts down public enemy number one, the Hell’s Kitchen vigilante known as Daredevil. But beneath the horned mask, Matt Murdock will try to fight back from the shadows to tear down the Kingpin’s corrupt empire and redeem his home.”
Episodes 2 and 3 are expected to dive deeper into this conflict, showing the escalation between Fisk’s administration and the underground resistance forming against him.
