Is Daredevil: Born Again a reboot?

Daredevil: Born Again won't be a full reboot, but rather it will be a soft one. The series will be canon with the Netflix Daredevil series that was canceled following the release of season 3 in 2018. The original plan for the show was to be a full-blown reboot starring a new cast while the events of the Netflix series would have been completely ignored; however, the show went through a bit of retooling.

In September, 2023, the show's production was put on hold as Marvel Studios decided the best course of action as they weren't satisfied with the development. They then let go of writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman and hired Dario Scarpadane, who had previously worked on The Punisher for Netflix. Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead of Loki season 2 fame were brought on board as well.

Actor Vincent D'Onofrio also confirmed the connection with the Netflix series back in January, 2024, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

“During our restart of all the creative on Daredevil: Born Again, all the creatives got together and said, ‘Look, this is how we’ve got to do it now,’” he said.

He continued:

“So we are for sure only speaking about it in terms of being directly connected to the original Daredevil, and that’s a great thing. It brings in a lot of cool stories and all the collateral story that happened in those original three seasons.”
