Daredevil: Born Again, a revival of the hit 2015 series, is an action-packed crime drama based on the Marvel Comics character Daredevil. The series is set to continue the story of Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer who becomes the masked vigilante, Daredevil.
The first two episodes of the show debuted on Disney+ on March 4, 2025. In Daredevil: Born Again, Murdock fights Wilson Fisk, a former crime boss running for mayor of New York City. The first season has nine episodes; the second begins in March 2026.
Daredevil: Born Again filming mostly took place in New York, where the crew captured the raw core of the city. It aligns with the fast-paced and gritty tone of the show. Using various locations around the city, the production gave the setting of the show authenticity.
Filming locations of Daredevil: Born Again
New York City
A significant portion of the series was filmed on location across New York City. Harlem, a well-known New York neighborhood, was used to depict Matt Murdock's Hell's Kitchen, a location integral to the Daredevil story.
Harlem's streets shaped the show’s gritty tone and atmosphere. Housing well-known sites like Josie's Bar, a regular hangout for Matt and his friends, Williamsburg in Brooklyn also significantly influenced the shooting process.
Silvercup Studios, Queens
An essential filming site for Daredevil: Born Again was Silvercup Studios in Queens. The production crew turned the famous location into different sections of the show.
Many of the most crucial moments took place at Silvercup, where Wilson Fisk's home and mayoral office were filmed. Apart from being a major film production hub, Silvercup Studios has been the home of many well-known television shows, including 30 Rock and The Sopranos.
Yonkers
For Daredevil: Born Again, Yonkers, a city just north of New York, served as an additional filming location. In early March 2023, the production crew filmed scenes outside Yonkers City Hall, incorporating the city's distinctive background into the program.
Often used in productions, Yonkers, which is home to Getty Square, helped to depict the vast universe Matt Murdock lives in.
Manhattan Municipal Building
The David N. Dinkins Municipal Building, located in Manhattan, became an important filming site for the show. Situated close to courthouses, this notable structure is ideal for scenes featuring legal action, as it houses several important New York City public offices.
Matt Murdock's work in the courtroom is a key component of the show, as he is a lawyer by day. The Municipal Building reflects the grave and institutional character of his profession.
