Born Again, Gone Again

Daredevil: Born Again ends with season 3 on Disney+ in 2027, and the cast got the call two months after cameras stopped rolling. Showrunner Dario Scardapane is also off the show in the middle of post-production, with Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Kingpin all set for the final run.

Season 3 wrapped filming before anyone knew it was the last one, so the finale was likely written with a season 4 in mind. Frank looks at what that means for Matt Murdock's ending, what we know about a season that opens with Matt in jail and the Defenders back together, and how losing a showrunner during the edit echoes the reset that reshaped season 1. He also takes stock of Marvel on Disney+, with Wonder Man losing its second season and VisionQuest closing out a trilogy.

• Season 3 is the last season of Daredevil: Born Again, arriving on Disney+ in 2027.

• Filming wrapped about two months before the cast was told, so the story was probably built to continue.

• Dario Scardapane exits mid post-production, and no one has been named to finish the season.

• Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist return alongside Kingpin, with Matt starting the season behind bars.

• After VisionQuest this fall and Born Again in 2027, Marvel has no other live-action Disney+ series on the calendar.

"I think the second season was fantastic. I think it had a complete arc, and it really felt like a good conclusion." (Frank)

"Right now we have more questions than answers." (Frank)

"There's no way they're not going to use the character, but it's all about where and how." (Frank)
