Daredevil: Born Again to End with Season Three on Disney+

Marvel confirms the third instalment of Daredevil: Born Again will be its final run, slated for a 2027 Disney+ debut amid a showrunner departure.

The latest word from Marvel is that the third instalment of Daredevil: Born Again will be the series’ swan song. Sources close to the studio told The Hollywood Reporter the decision came just weeks after filming wrapped on the new batch of episodes. The final chapter is slated for a 2027 launch on Disney+.

And that’s not all. The same outlet revealed that Marvel has quietly let go of showrunner Dario Scardapane, whose contract ran out and wasn’t renewed. Scardapane, a former writer‑producer on The Punisher, was steering the show through post‑production when the split happened. It remains unclear who will shepherd the remaining work to the finish line, though a second source said the edit suite is in its final phase.

Deadline corroborated the news, adding that cast members received calls this morning confirming the end of the road. Production on season three is officially wrapped, and the streaming giant is eyeing a 2027 premiere window. The outlet also reminded readers that the first season of the Disney+ revival broke viewership records for a Marvel series debut in 2025, pulling in roughly 7.5 million eyes worldwide in its opening five days. However, Luminate data shows a roughly 50 percent dip in US numbers for the second season.

For fans, the ending feels like a full‑circle moment. Charlie Cox returns as the blind lawyer‑turned‑vigilante, while Vincent D’Onofrio reprises his turn as Wilson Fisk, now a self‑styled mayor with political ambitions. The supporting roster – Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page, Elden Henson’s Foggy Nelson and Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye – stays intact, and the second season even saw a cameo from Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones.

The series’ journey has been anything but smooth. After Netflix dropped the original three‑season run in 2018, Disney+ resurrected the world in 2022 with a split‑order that eventually became 17 episodes across two seasons. Production stalled during the 2023 writers and actors strikes, prompting Marvel to overhaul the creative team. Original head writers Matt Corman and Chris Ord were replaced, and Scardapane stepped in to re‑align the tone.

Marvel’s broader TV strategy also hints at why Born Again is bowing out. The studio has been trimming its live‑action slate, with titles like Wonder Man also left without a renewal. Yet the pipeline isn’t empty – a spy thriller tentatively titled Zodiac has just received the green light, suggesting the Marvel Cinematic Universe will keep feeding Disney+ with fresh content.

So what does a final season mean for the Daredevil mythos? The second season ended with Matt Murdock behind bars, setting up a potential prison‑break arc or a courtroom showdown. With the showrunner’s exit, the creative direction could shift, but the core conflict between Murdock and Fisk is likely to remain the series’ backbone.

Fans will have to wait until Disney+ drops the official trailer to gauge the tone of the concluding chapter. In the meantime, the industry will be watching how Marvel navigates the post‑production handover and whether the series can deliver a satisfying wrap‑up after a rocky revival.

What’s next? A 2027 premiere date, a mystery overseer for the final edit, and a Marvel schedule that promises new spy intrigue while saying goodbye to one of its most beloved street‑level heroes.
