Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones is officially back, returning to Matt Murdock’s world in Daredevil: Born Again season 2.
EW.com revealed the first exclusive look, confirming the long-awaited reunion from the Netflix era.
Jessica Jones Joins Daredevil’s Fight
Charlie Cox tells EW that fans’ response to Matt Murdock and Jessica Jones in The Defenders made a return inevitable.
He says the dynamic between the two characters remains intact, with plenty of sharp back-and-forth mixed with serious stakes.
Ritter’s role details are being kept under wraps, but Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum says her presence in season 2 is comparable to Jon Bernthal’s Punisher impact in season 1.
Wilson Fisk Tightens His Grip on New York
Season 2 picks up after Wilson Fisk’s takeover of New York City. Vigilantism is outlawed, Daredevil is a wanted man, and the city remains under lockdown.
According to Winderbaum, the new season leans into darker themes, tragic consequences, and a city living in fear.
Cox describes Daredevil as a rebel this time around, pushing back against absolute power as Fisk works to maintain control.
New Villains and Power Players Revealed
EW’s first-look photos also introduce Matthew Lillard as Mr. Charles, a new figure operating within Fisk’s circle, and Lili Taylor as New York Governor Marge McCaffrey.
Both characters add to the growing political and criminal chess match unfolding across the city.
Familiar Faces Return
Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page has a much larger role in season 2, operating from the shadows alongside Matt. Cox calls it her strongest material yet.
Elden Henson’s Foggy Nelson continues to loom over the story despite his death, while the Punisher’s future is teased following his escape in season 1.
Winderbaum also confirms the upcoming Punisher TV special connects directly to the events of Daredevil: Born Again season 2.
Release Info
Daredevil: Born Again season 2 premieres March on Disney+, with Marvel already planning future seasons as part of one continuing story centered on New York City.
