Daredevil: Born Again is reportedly ending with its third season. The Hollywood Reporter first reported that the forthcoming Disney+ season will be the series’ last, with TheWrap subsequently reporting the same outcome. Marvel has not issued a public announcement calling Season 3 the final season, so that distinction matters: this is a well-sourced trade report, not yet a Marvel press release.

The reporting also says Marvel has parted ways with showrunner Dario Scardapane after his contract expired and was not renewed. It does not identify a replacement showrunner or explain the decision, and no reason should be inferred from the change.

What is reported — and what Marvel has confirmed

According to THR, Season 3 completed filming roughly two months before its September 21 report, while post-production was in its final stages. The trade says the season is due in 2027. Marvel’s official TV page does list Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 among its Disney+ programming, which confirms that another season exists, but it currently gives no premiere date, episode count, final-season label, or new creative lead.

That leaves two separate levels of certainty. Season 3 itself is established by Marvel’s earlier renewal and its current programming page. The claim that it is the endpoint for Born Again, along with Scardapane’s departure, is what the trades are reporting. Marvel declined comment to THR, according to the report.

Scardapane took over as showrunner during the first season’s creative overhaul and is credited on Marvel’s official title page. His reported exit in post-production does not by itself establish a dispute, a creative change to completed episodes, or a change in the season’s story. Those details have not been announced.

What the showrunner change does and does not mean

For viewers, the immediate practical question is whether a new showrunner will alter Season 3. There is no announced successor, and a project in late post-production has a different set of decisions left than one still shooting. Until Marvel identifies who is overseeing the final delivery, the sensible answer is simply that the credited creative leadership after Scardapane has not been made public.

It is also too early to assign a cause. Neither Marvel nor the reporting cited a ratings issue, budget issue, creative conflict, or wider Disney+ strategy as the reason the series is ending. “Contract not renewed” describes the reported employment status; it does not explain why it happened.

Does this mean Charlie Cox is finished as Daredevil?

No. An end to Daredevil: Born Again would concern this particular Disney+ series, not automatically every future MCU appearance by Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock. Marvel has not announced a separate Daredevil project, nor has it said that Cox is leaving the role. Those are different claims, and neither follows from a final-season report.

The same caution applies to rumors around other street-level Marvel characters. A future appearance, a Defenders project, or a connection to another Marvel release needs its own announcement. It should not be read into the reported conclusion of one show.

What remains unannounced

Marvel has not publicly set a Season 3 release date, confirmed an episode count, named Scardapane’s successor, or explained what follows the series. It has also not announced whether Charlie Cox’s Daredevil will appear in another MCU project after the season.

So the clear answer is narrow: strong trade reporting says Season 3 will be Daredevil: Born Again’s last, and that Scardapane is departing. Until Marvel speaks directly, the release timing beyond 2027, the handover behind the scenes, and the character’s broader MCU future remain open questions.
