‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Cast Confirms How the Show Is Connected To Netflix’s Original

Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ is widely regarded as the best Marvel TV show ever. When Netflix canceled it along with other Netflix ‘Defenders’ shows, fans were disappointed. But following the show’s reception and viewership numbers, Marvel Studios knew what it had to do.

In December 2021, Kevin Feige confirmed that Charlie Cox would reprise his role as Daredevil in upcoming MCU projects. In May 2022, a new Charlie Cox’s Daredevil series was confirmed to be in development as “a new but continued series” and “technically be its fourth season.”

This leads to questions about how ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ will be connected to the original Netflix series. The cast was announced to return, but what about the plot? We know that the shows will be connected, but to what degree?

During the D23 expo, the ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ cast shared some additional info on how the two series are connected. Here’s what Charlie Cox said:

“Deborah and I had a scene where we find an old box — am I allowed to say that? I think I can say that. We had a scene where we were looking through a box and we find stuff from the past, and it was real stuff from the past. It was stuff from the old [show]. It was like a photo frame we used on a set eight years ago and we were looking at it together — well, I wasn’t looking at it. But we were reminiscing over it, and it was sweet. It was kind of a little bit of life imitating art.”

Kingpin actor, Vincent D’Onofrio added:

“There are storylines that reach back to the original series. Where our characters are coming from, where we are, and where we’re going, some of those threads lead back.”

Ultimately, Charlie Cox said:

“It’s a really tough job so I’m so impressed with what the writers managed to do by allowing us to keep that history but also present it in a way where it isn’t alienating. We’d also like to encourage people to go back and watch the original three seasons.”

All in all, if you haven’t watched Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ already, you have until March 2025 to do it!
