Daredevil
Born Again
TV · 2025
Blind lawyer Matt Murdock continues his double life as the vigilante Daredevil, protector of Hell's Kitchen, while running his law practice. His old archnemesis Wilson Fisk, having survived being shot by Maya Lopez and lost his criminal empire, reinvents himself as a legitimate power broker and is elected Mayor of New York City. As Fisk consolidates control over the city through political and institutional means, Murdock is drawn back into direct conflict with him, forcing Daredevil and Kingpin into a renewed rivalry that plays out as much in politics and the courtroom as in the streets. Familiar faces from Murdock's past, including Frank Castle (the Punisher) and the assassin Bullseye, complicate the escalating battle for the soul of the city across the series' multiple seasons.
