Marvel Ends Daredevil: Born Again With Season 3

The decision reflects a pullback in Marvel's Disney+ strategy and leaves Season 3 in post-production without its showrunner.

Overview

  • This week multiple outlets reported that Marvel will conclude Daredevil: Born Again with its already-filmed third season, which is slated to debut on Disney+ in 2027.
  • Showrunner Dario Scardapane did not have his contract renewed and has exited the series during post-production, and Marvel has not identified who will complete the final editing and finishing work.
  • Filming for Season 3 wrapped months ago and the season is in post-production, so the series is expected to reach audiences rather than be scrapped.
  • Reports cite a steep U.S. viewership drop between Seasons 1 and 2—about a 40–50% decline in Luminate-tracked viewers—and Marvel’s broader reduction in Disney+ live-action output as central reasons for ending the show.
  • Unverified industry rumors claim multiple major character deaths in Season 3, but those reports come from a single source; key cast members including Vincent D'Onofrio have acknowledged the final season and thanked fans while Marvel has left open the possibility characters could appear elsewhere in the MCU.
