Daredevil: Born Again Season 2: Release date, cast updates and what to expect next
Hell's Kitchen is about to get even hotter. Daredevil: Born Again is officially coming back for Season 2, and after that cliffhanger-packed Season 1 finale, fans are dying to see what's next. With more action, deeper drama, and a few surprise faces along the way, Marvel's street-level saga is ramping up to deliver another knockout season.
Here's everything we know so far—from when it's dropping to who's back (and who's new), plus a look at what might be coming in Matt Murdock's next gritty chapter. When Is Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Coming Out?
Mark your calendars— Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is slated to premiere on Disney+ in March 2026. That's a quick turnaround from Season 1's March 2025 debut, keeping fans hooked without the usual long wait. Production wrapped in July 2025 after kicking off in February, promising a tight eight-episode run packed with intense drama. Unlike Season 1's nine episodes, this season trims one episode but doubles down on stakes, with whispers of a darker, more thrilling story. Who's Back in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Cast?
Season 2 is bringing back most of the fan-favorite cast, plus some fresh blood to shake things up in Hell's Kitchen. Returning Faces: Charlie Cox is back as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, now rocking a sleek black suit straight out of the 'Shadowland' comics. He's hinted this season contains some of his favorite Daredevil scripts yet.
Vincent D'Onofrio returns as Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin—now the mayor of New York and more dangerous than ever.
Deborah Ann Woll reprises her role as Karen Page. This time, she's got a bold red wig and an expanded arc that fans are buzzing about.
Elden Henson is also back as Foggy Nelson. Yes, even after what happened in Season 1—he's expected to appear through emotional flashbacks.
Wilson Bethel's Bullseye is back, now fully suited up with the iconic target logo. He's unstable, deadly, and definitely not done causing chaos.
Ayelet Zurer returns as Vanessa Fisk, putting any recasting rumors to rest. Her dynamic with Kingpin looks like it'll get even more complex.
You'll also see Margarita Levieva, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson , and Michael Gandolfini back in their roles, continuing the grounded, street-level stories.
Jon Bernthal's Punisher shows up too, though in a smaller role, possibly as a lead-in to a spin-off special.
And the big surprise? Krysten Ritter is back as Jessica Jones , officially folding her Netflix antihero into the Disney+ Marvel universe.
Royce Johnson and Susan Varon , familiar faces from the Netflix era, are also back—helping keep that gritty tone fans loved.
Camila Rodriguez is appearing as Angela del Toro, niece of the original White Tiger. Expect some vigilante legacy threads. Newcomers: Matthew Lillard joins the show in a morally complex role that's still under wraps. Based on his past work, expect something unpredictable.
Lili Taylor plays the Governor of New York and a major political threat to Fisk—yes, things are getting political.
Sydney Parra, Annie Parisse, and James Armstrong have all been spotted on set, though their roles are still a mystery. What Can Fans Expect from Season 2?
Season 2 picks up right after Fisk's power play at the end of Season 1, with New York under martial law thanks to his Anti-Vigilante Task Force. Matt Murdock is fully embracing his Daredevil identity again—and this time, he's not holding back.
Here's what's brewing:
Daredevil vs Kingpin 2.0: This rivalry is now political, personal, and brutal. With Fisk in the mayor's seat, Matt is fighting not just crime, but the entire system.
Bullseye Unleashed: Bethel's return means more chaos, and his upgraded comic-accurate suit suggests he's not just back—he's ready to wreak havoc.
Jessica Jones x Daredevil: The crossover we didn't know we needed. Their personalities clash, but both have a deep respect for justice—expect tension, team-ups, and maybe a few philosophical fights.
The 'Shadowland' Vibes: Matt's black suit and some cryptic comments from D'Onofrio have fans thinking we might see elements of the Shadowland storyline, where Daredevil wrestles with darker leadership—possibly even taking over The Hand.
Political Intrigue Meets Street Brawls: With Lili Taylor's governor going toe-to-toe with Fisk and Lillard's mystery character stirring the pot, the show's scale is expanding without losing its street-level heart.
Flashbacks and Heartbreak: Foggy's return—even if only in memories—promises to pack an emotional punch. Karen's arc will dig deeper into her resilience and relationship with Matt.
And yes—this season isn't just setting up the next fight. Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum has teased long-term plans, even throwing around words like 'Season 3' and 'Season infinity.' So Daredevil's just getting started.

Netflix is about to lose 7 shows — stream them before they're gone
Netflix regularly loses shows from its deep content library. Granted, the streaming service is also adding new ones nearly every day, and adds far more in a month than it loses — just look at the list of everything new on Netflix this August. But you still need to keep an eye out for when a favorite show or that acclaimed series you've been meaning to watch might be leaving Netflix. This month, the time to start keeping an eye out for what's leaving Netflix is right now. Between Aug. 15 and Aug. 19, the streaming service is going to remove seven shows from its library, and these shows aren't slouches either. "Ballers" was a big hit for HBO, and I enjoyed its first season — it's gone on Aug. 15, so you'll want to start binge-watching its five seasons now. Love a British crime drama like "MobLand"? Then you'll want to check out the acclaimed first two seasons of "Gangs of London" before the show goes back to being just on AMC Plus. Here are all seven shows that Netflix is about to lose this month, and why each one is worth watching before it's gone. "Ballers" stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Spencer Strasmore, a former NFL player who has moved on to the world of financial management. Of course, the easiest clients for him to find are former NFL players, including mercurial wide receiver Ricky Jerret (John David Washington). This show is definitely more "Entourage" than "Any Given Sunday," and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't rather be watching either of those over this HBO series. By the end of season 5, I was officially hate-watching the show, committed to seeing it through to the end. That said, the first season of the show was genuinely good, especially ther performances of Washington as Jerret, Omar Miller as lineman Charles Greane and Rob Corddry as Spencer's partner in crime, Joe Krutel. If you just want a fun show with some sizzle, there are worse things to watch. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Watch "Ballers" on Netflix until August 15 "Unreal" stars Shiri Appleby as Rachel Goldberg, a young reality show producer. She was a producer on the reality dating show "Everlasting" until she had a meltdown during the filming of a season finale. Now, she's back, rehired by her boss, Quinn (Constance Zimmer), much to the surprise of everyone on the show. Now, Rachel has to balance rebuilding her reputation, keeping the show as salacious as ever, and working alongside a rival producer, Shia (Aline Elasmar), and Rachel's cameraman ex-boyfriend Jeremy (Josh Kelly), who already moved on to someone else. This show got rave reviews across its first three seasons, when it aired on Lifetime. Its fourth and final season moved to Hulu and admittedly seems to be a forgettable one based on its 46% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences still liked it. The best endorsement I've seen for "Unreal" came from Entertainment Weekly's Dalene Rovenstine after the series premiere aired. "If you love 'The Bachelor,'" she wrote, "you're going to like 'UnREAL.' If you hate 'The Bachelor,' you're going to like 'UnREAL.' So basically, Lifetime has done it: They've found the perfect show for everyone." Watch "Unreal" on Netflix until August 19 With a title like "Kevin Can F**k Himself," you'd assume this show might be about a guy named, well, Kevin. But you'd be wrong, because it's really about Kevin's wife Allison (Annie Murphy), who's had about enough of being in an unhappy marriage with Kevin. To be fair, she's right to be fed up. Kevin is the worst — an immature narcissist whose behavior borders on domestic abuse. But what causes her to snap is when she learns from Patty (Mary Hollis Inboden), the sister of Kevin's best friend and one of her and Kevin's neighbors, that Kevin had secretly drained their savings account. What really sets this show apart is how it treats its portrayal of Allisons's life. When she's with Kevin, the show presents itself as a multi-cam sitcom complete with canned laughter. But when she's away from her awful husband and on her path of self-discovery, the show transitions to a single-camera comedy-drama. "Kevin Can F**k Himself" is worth checking out for this masterful technique alone, and at just 16 episodes, it's a quick binge-watch. Watch "Kevin Can F**k Himself" on Netflix until August 19 If you liked the "MobLand" season finale and can't wait for "MobLand" season 2, let "Gangs of London" tide you over while you wait. This crime thriller series takes its name from the 2006 video game of the same name, which was a spin-off from The Getaway video game franchise. The series centers around the Wallace crime family, which had been led by Finn Wallace (Colm Meaney) until his shocking death at the beginning of the show. This throws the London criminal underworld into chaos, with Finn's son Sean (Joe Cole) and widow (Michelle Fairley) trying to keep the Wallace criminal enterprise intact. Like with "MobLand" and the British crime movies that "Gangs of London" draws inspiration from, there's no shortage of violence in this show, so much so that critics and audiences dinged the second season for being too violent. Which, given that "Havoc" director Gareth Evans created this show, maybe that shouldn't be a surprise. But season 1 received near universal acclaim, and is worth watching before it's gone from Netflix. Watch "Gangs of London on Netflix until August 19 In "The Walking Dead," Andrew Lincoln stars as Rick Grimes, a Georgia sheriff's deputy who leads a group of survivors during a zombie apocalypse. By the end of his time in the show, he became the leader of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, but in "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" he's been conscripted into the Civic Republic Military (CRM), potentially the most powerful military left on Earth. However, despite being ostensibly held captive by this powerful force, nothing is going to stop him from trying to reunite with his wife, Michonne (Danai Gurira), a katana-wielding killing machine who has been searching for Rick since season 10 of "The Walking Dead." As the old saying goes, "All's fair in love and war," and this six-episode miniseries has plenty of both. So whether you're a "Walking Dead" fanatic or just want a bingeable drama, "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" is a must-watch before it leaves Netflix this month. Watch "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" on Netflix until August 19 "The Boys" wasn't Seth Rogen's first foray into a comic book adaptation. Years before and his creative partner Evan Goldberg would serve as executive producers on the Prime Video superhero show based on the iconic Garth Ennis comic, they developed "Preacher" for AMC, based on another beloved Ennis comic series. For those who missed the show, "Preacher" stars Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, a Texas preacher with a penchant for hard-drinking and chain-smoking. During a crisis of faith, he becomes infused with an extraordinary power called Genesis, and it gives him some serious superpowers. It also convinces him to go find God (literally) and make God answer for all He's done wrong. Jesse won't be going alone though. He's bringing his violent ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and his new vampire friend from Ireland, Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun). If you love an irreverent superhero show like "The Boys," then definitely check out "Preacher" before it leaves Netflix. Watch "Preacher" on Netflix until August 19 I'll freely admit, "Into the Badlands" is the one show on this list I had never even heard of before. But after watching the trailer and reading more about the martial arts drama, I'm bummed I missed it and will need to check it out before it leaves Netflix for good. "Into the Badlands" stars Daniel Wu as Sunny. He exists 500 years in the future, where war has turned Earth into a post-apocalyptic world. Sunny serves as a chief warrior to the Badlands' most powerful baron, Quinn (Marton Csokas). The world building in this show sounds incredible. "Into the Badlands" exists in a world largely, but not entirely, devoid of technology, where barons control vital resources and rule over a caste system that includes "cogs" (slaves), "dolls" (prostitutes) and "clippers" (warriors). If you're someone like me who loves a sci-fi or fantasy show with deep lore to explore, then "Into the Badlands" might be the show to prioritize binge-watching before it's gone. Watch "Into the Badlands" on Netflix until August 19 Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

WWE Strikes $1.6 Billion USD Deal With ESPN
Summary In a landmark agreement that reshapes the sports entertainment landscape,WWEhas finalized a multi-year deal withESPN, granting the Disney-owned company exclusive U.S. domestic streaming rights to all WWE Premium Live Events. The deal, valued at $1.6 billion USD over five years, marks a significant strategic victory for WWE and a pivotal move for ESPN's ambitious new streaming service. The agreement, which begins in 2026, will see all of WWE's marquee events—includingWrestleMania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series—move exclusively to ESPN's platforms in the U.S. This marks a major shift from WWE's current partnership with NBCUniversal's Peacock, which is set to expire in March 2026. This move aligns WWE's distribution model more closely with that of the UFC, which has seen immense success under the ESPN banner. For ESPN, the deal is a cornerstone of its new direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming service, which is launching on August 21st at a price of $29.99 USD per month. WWE's 'immense, devoted and passionate fanbase' is a key draw, with ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro noting that the addition of WWE's biggest events will bolster their content portfolio and 'drive our streaming future.' The statement reads, 'WWE has an immense, devoted and passionate fan base that we're excited to super-serve on our new ESPN DTC platform. This agreement, which features the most significant WWE events of the year, bolsters our unprecedented content portfolio and helps drive our streaming future.' The deal not only grants ESPN the rights to the premium live events themselves but also the opportunity to stream pre- and post-show content, fully integrating WWE into its sports media ecosystem. Mark Shapiro, president and chief operating officer of TKO said, 'We are proud to reinforce the 'E' in ESPN at such an exciting juncture in its direct-to-consumer journey. WWE Premium Live Events are renowned for exactly the type of rich storytelling, incredible feats of athleticism and can't-miss, cultural tentpole experiences that have become synonymous with ESPN. Through our UFC relationship, we have experienced firsthand how transformational an ESPN presence can be, and we know this will be an exceptional partnership at a time of great innovation for both companies.' This partnership is part of a larger, aggressive push by ESPN to secure high-profile live event rights ahead of its new streaming service. The company recently finalized a deal with the NFL, which includes an equity stake for the league in exchange for media assets, and is reportedly in talks with Major League Baseball for a new rights package. The WWE deal, therefore, positions ESPN as a formidable force in the streaming wars, leveraging a wide range of live sports and entertainment to attract a diverse audience. While the deal is a massive financial success for WWE, it comes with a potential challenge for fans. The new ESPN streaming service will cost $29.99 USD per month, a significant increase from the $10.99 USD monthly price WWE fans currently pay for Peacock's unlimited plan. However, reports suggest that existing cable and satellite subscribers who receive ESPN as part of their package may be able to access the new WWE content at no additional cost through authentication. This development sets the stage for a new era of WWE viewing, where a single, dedicated platform becomes the exclusive home for all of the company's biggest events.

‘Stranger Things' Final Season Teaser Drops Tomorrow as New Poster Debuts
'Stranger Things' Final Season Teaser Drops Tomorrow as New Poster Debuts originally appeared on Parade. The wait is almost over! Stranger Things announced that the first teaser for the final season of the long-running Netflix series would premiere tomorrow. 'One last adventure begins. Teaser tomorrow,' the Stranger Things official X account wrote on July 15. A new poster for Stranger Things 5 accompanied the post, and it featured a slick callback to seasons past. In the image, Will (Noah Schnapp), Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Eleven (Millie BobbyBrown), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) are riding bikes across the landscape of Hawkins, Indiana. Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), who terrorized the group in Stranger Things Season 4, looms menacingly in the red clouds above them. Fans have been waiting for years to watch the epic conclusion of the popular Netflix show. Season 4 premiered in the summer of 2022, and left viewers on quite the cliffhanger. Max () had been attacked by Vecna and left in a coma with some pretty gnarly injuries. While Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Steve (Joe Keery) and Robin (Maya Hawke) thought they shot and killed the big bad, after exiting the Creel house, his body was nowhere to be found. In the ending shot of the season, the group looked out over Hawkins as the Upside Down began to creep into more of the real world, hinting that things were about to get a lot worse. Since then, there has been little news about the impending final season, but the streamer did give fans a tiny taste of what's to come with a short teaser during Tudum. In the clip, there were a few blink-and-you-miss-it moments that implied the kids were in some serious danger. Will, whom creators Ross and Matt Duffer have said will play a big role in the last season, was especially worrisome. He appeared to be trying to save his friends while holding off something particularly menacing and yelling at them to 'Run!' With the first real teaser on the horizon, it looks like the final battle for Hawkins is finally about to begin. 'Stranger Things' Final Season Teaser Drops Tomorrow as New Poster Debuts first appeared on Parade on Jul 15, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 15, 2025, where it first appeared.
