Introduction

Marvel Studios is bringing Daredevil: Born Again to an end with its third season. The upcoming season will now serve as the show’s final chapter.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 is supposed to premiere on Disney+ in March 2027. This move is yet another one that signals the shift in Marvel’s live-action TV approach.

The question arises about what else Charlie Cox can do as Daredevil after Born Again. So far, Marvel hasn’t announced any further live-action Daredevil shows after Born Again.

On the other hand, Charlie Cox still might have some place left for Matt Murdock. After all, he’s also associated with Marvel’s animated shows.

That means Daredevil could continue appearing elsewhere within Marvel’s expanding universe.

Daredevil: Born Again Will End With Season 3

The news follows after Daredevil: Born Again undergoes post-production. According to Entertainment Weekly, Marvel Studios will end the series after season three.

In addition to that, showrunner Dario Scardapane has quit Marvel Television. His contract with Marvel Studios expires and he was not offered a renewal contract.

Scardapane worked with the series in making its major changes. He especially worked with season two and season three of the show.

The news about his quitting followed even when season three is under post-production. There is no official statement from Marvel Studios regarding this matter.

Therefore, the ending comes along with many questions regarding the future of the show. The third season was ordered before the latest news.

Marvel announced the renewal of the third season in September 2025. The filming started in 2026.

Afterward, production on the series wrapped up to allow for post-production work.

Vincent D’Onofrio officially announced through social media the production of the series in July. That means the third season has gone way past the planning phase.

Fan will still get their episodes as expected. The only thing that is different is what comes next after the episodes.

The Ratings Question

This decision follows a notable drop in ratings for the show. Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 was watched by fewer people compared to its Season 1.

The data collected by Luminate revealed a large drop in views for the first five episodes. These episodes were seen by around 4.5 million people in Season 2.

In contrast, around 8.35 million people watched Season 1. This marked a total of about 46 percent drop in views.

Viewing hours reportedly also dropped by around 54 percent. These numbers serve as some important context to the show’s future.

But the Marvel studio has not made any public announcements on the issue. It would therefore be better to consider these numbers as a part of the bigger picture.

The show has gotten good responses from many viewers and critics alike. Positive reviews do not always mean equal streaming figures.

This is a complex situation for the expensive Marvel show. Decisions about streaming may take into account several factors.

These include viewing figures, budget, schedule, and other franchise plans. There have been big changes in Marvel’s TV strategy in recent years.

The company has reduced the number of live-action projects arriving on Disney+. That shift makes the end of Born Again part of a larger industry trend.

It does not necessarily mean Marvel is abandoning television altogether. Instead, the studio appears to be becoming more selective about its live-action output.

History Is Repeating Itself

Another significant parallel can be observed in regard to Daredevil’s history on television. The first incarnation of the series concluded at the end of three seasons as well.

In the original series, Daredevil was played by Charlie Cox. Netflix cancelled the original series in 2018 after three seasons had aired.

Later, Born Again gave Charlie Cox a chance to return as the character for Marvel Studios.

Thus, Born Again can be seen as continuing the television story of the hero. Currently, Born Again is about to come to an end at the end of three seasons.

This is a rather interesting coincidence between the two incarnations of the character. Indeed, both series will end at the end of three seasons.

There are some differences, though. The original series belonged to a different streaming platform strategy.

Born Again belongs to the Marvel Studios television universe directly. Moreover, Born Again takes place in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Charlie Cox’s Daredevil Future Remains Unclear

The biggest question now concerns Charlie Cox.

Not all endings of the Born Again season mean the absence of Daredevil in Marvel. Cox has already played as Matt Murdock in various Marvel titles.

His role has facilitated the inclusion of Daredevil into the whole MCU. The hero can come back in movies, specials, or any other TV shows.

But there is no announcement of a new live-action Daredevil series by Marvel. This point makes a difference when it comes to Cox.

So, fans should distinguish confirmed appearances from speculations. One of the confirmed ones is Marvel animated content.

Cox has been seen playing Matt Murdock in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2. This animated movie will premiere in January 2027.

So, the show will start shortly before Born Again Season 3. Season 2 features Daredevil among other Marvel heroes.

Cox’s appearance in an animated series gives one more chance in the near future. Moreover, it means that fans may listen to him as Matt Murdock before Born Again finishes.

It is worth noting that the animated series operates outside of MCU continuity.

Marvel’s Television Strategy Is Changing

Born Again is not the only Marvel TV show that will see such a huge change in the near future. Disney recently canceled the renewal of Wonder Man.

Initially, the show was approved for a second season. Disney then decided not to proceed with the second season of Wonder Man.

This makes it even more evident how Marvel approaches streaming now. In any case, VisionQuest is set to air on Disney+.

Paul Bettany plays Vision in this series. According to Marvel, the premiere of VisionQuest will take place on October 14, 2026.

VisionQuest finishes the TV trilogy that started with WandaVision.

Also, it comes after Agatha All Along in this connected narrative.

Marvel TV continues to work on live-action shows. The thing is that there seem to be fewer shows to move forward at once now.

In this way, Marvel may focus on a smaller number of productions.

It may also influence how often Marvel characters will appear on Disney+.

What Comes After Born Again?

However, there is news that Marvel Television is working on new projects despite the ending of Born Again.

One such reported project is a new spy thriller that has been described as Zodiac. According to Entertainment Weekly, Marvel Television has greenlit the project.

Information regarding the plot and characters of this project is still lacking. The project shows that the television projects of Marvel do not just disappear.

Rather, it seems like Marvel is changing their strategy. This makes it very interesting for the future of Marvel characters.

Daredevil is one of the most recognisable Marvel characters. Moreover, Charlie Cox’s portrayal of the character has made him even more recognisable.

Thus, the ending of Born Again leaves much to think about.

An appearance of the character in the future can occur without the need of a new Daredevil series.

It could take place in another character’s story.

Also, it can appear through a special show.

A Final Chapter, But Not Necessarily The End

Daredevil: Born Again is officially heading toward its conclusion. Season 3 will be the final season of the Disney+ series.

The season is scheduled to premiere in March 2027.

Another important change in production is the departure of Dario Scardapane from the show.

Also, a decrease in the number of viewers of the show is another reason for discussion.

Another important reason to discuss is Marvel’s decision to reduce the production of live-action TV series.

But Daredevil character also has something interesting.

Charlie Cox is the most recognizable actor in the role of Matt Murdock.

In 2027, in the animation of the show, he will have a chance to play Matt Murdock again.

There are no other opportunities for this character right now.

For now, all fans can only wait for one more episode of the show.

It will be the last season of Daredevil: Born Again.

Another important question about the future of Matt Murdock is still open for fans of the Marvel universe.
