All you need to know about Daredevil Born Again premiering in UAE today
UAE fans of Marvel superhero Daredevil are in for a treat as the long-awaited series Daredevil Born Again premieres on Wednesday, March 5.
Daredevil is the alter-ego of Hell's Kitchen lawyer Matt Murdock, who loses his sight in a chemical accident that heightens all his other senses to spectacular proportions. The popular comic book character, who first appeared in print in 1964, has been adapted for television several times in the past. Daredevil , a theatrical version starring Ben Affleck, released in 2003 to a largely tepid response.
Created by Stan Lee and Bill Everett, the inspiring superhero found a new and dedicated fanbase when a Daredevil series dropped on Netflix in 2015, running for three seasons before getting cancelled in 2018.
Daredevil Born Again marks the first time the iconic character is returning to the screen since making appearances in the series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Echo , as well as Hollywood blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Now, you'll obviously want the scoop on whether Daredevil Born Again , which premieres on Disney+ in the UAE, is a reboot or a continuation of the original series.
Even though the story of Daredevil Born Again takes place a few years after the events of Netflix's Daredevil , it is regarded as a brand new chapter.
'We don't want to suggest that people need to go back and see three seasons in order to understand and follow this story. So that's an interesting jumping off place to achieve,' actor Charlie Cox, who reprises his role as the titular protagonist in Daredevil Born Again , told TVLine.
Like Cox, several stars from the original Daredevil series will be back in Daredevil Born Again , whose title pays tribute to a 1986 Daredevil comic book story arc by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli.
Expect some terrifying supervillain menace from Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin and, of course, a brutal brand of justice via Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle aka The Punisher. Deborah Ann Woll plays Daredevil's love interest Karen Page and Elden Henson returns as Matt Murdock's lawyer partner Foggy Nelson.
Stream the first two episodes of Daredevil Born Again Wednesday, March 5, on Disney+

Lady Gaga to guest star in second season of 'Wednesday'
There's great news for fans of Lady Gaga and the show Wednesday. The pop queen is all set to be seen in the second season as a guest star, People magazine reported. At Netflix's Tudum 2025 live event last week, the streaming giant unveiled the first six minutes of the show's highly anticipated second season. After a nearly three-year wait, fans finally got to see what kind of spooky shenanigans Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) gets up to this season. The footage begins with Wednesday tied up in a serial killer's basement -- "who said nightmares don't come true?" -- surrounded by life-size dolls. "He's under the delusion that I'm his next victim," she says. "I'll let him cherish that notion while I explain my predicament." A flashback from six weeks earlier then takes place, showing Wednesday spending her summer vacation doing what any normal teen would be doing: mastering her psychic ability. Back on stage at Tudum, the Wednesday cast revealed that Lady Gaga will be joining season 2 in a guest starring role. The details regarding her character were not disclosed. Interestingly, Gaga performed at the event, delivering a show-stopping performance, including Bloody Mary as well as her hit song Abracadabra. Gaga stepped out from a vertical coffin amid a sea of background dancers dressed in the vein of Gomez Addams (Luis Guzman), singing track Zombieboy off of her recently released Mayhem, Deadline reported. Part 1 of the hit series' second season will debut August 6, with Part 2 following September 3.
