Daredevil: Born Again is an American television series developed by Dario Scardapane, Matt Corman, and Chris Ord for the streaming platform Disney+, adapting the character Daredevil from Marvel Comics. It represents the 13th television production within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), created under Marvel Studios' Marvel Television banner. The show maintains continuity with both the MCU films and other television content. Born Again functions as a revival and continuation of the earlier Daredevil series (2015–2018), which was originally produced by the former Marvel Television company and aired on Netflix. Scardapane holds the role of showrunner, while Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead direct the lead episodes.

Charlie Cox returns in the role of Matt Murdock / Daredevil, a character previously featured in Marvel's Netflix series and earlier Marvel Studios productions. He is joined by Vincent D'Onofrio, Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Wilson Bethel, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, Ayelet Zurer, and Tony Dalton in the cast. Additional stars include Kamar de los Reyes, Jon Bernthal, and Mohan Kapur for the initial season, followed by Matthew Lillard, Lili Taylor, Toby Leonard Moore, and Krysten Ritter joining in the second season, and Mike Colter, Finn Jones, and Élodie Yung appearing in the third.

After the cancellation of Daredevil in 2018, Cox and D'Onofrio resumed their roles for Marvel Studios beginning in 2021. Development of a new Daredevil series started early in 2022, with Corman and Ord attached as head writers by May. They intended to implement an episodic format and a lighter tone compared to the Netflix version. The project was officially announced in July 2022 with plans for a 18-episode first season. The title alludes to the 1986 comic book story "Born Again" created by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, although this narrative is not adapted into the series. Marvel Studios opted to completely restructure the show by late September 2023, dismissing Corman and Ord. Scardapane, Benson, and Moorhead were then brought on in the subsequent month to shift the tone toward a more serialized approach while linking it directly to the Netflix version. The planned 18 episodes were restructured into two seasons. Production occurred in New York.

Daredevil: Born Again debuted on Disney+ on March 4, 2025, with its nine-episode first season released through April as part of Phase Five of the MCU. Critics responded favorably, though they noted signs of the creative transformation. The eight-episode second season was made available from March to May 2026, and critics regarded it as an improvement over the initial season. This was followed by The Punisher: One Last Kill, a Marvel Television Special Presentation television special starring Bernthal, which originated during filming of the first season. A third and final season is currently in production and scheduled for release in March 2027. The last two seasons and One Last Kill are included in Phase Six of the MCU.
