Here’s some news we didn’t see coming. Variety is tonight reporting that a continuation of the Netflix Daredevil series is currently in development at Disney+.
The series, originally developed under the old Marvel Television brand, formed part of Netflix’s (mostly) successful attempt to re-create the magic of the MCU on the small screen. Under the banner of The Defenders, Daredevil starred alongside Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist until the Marvel Television brand was absorbed back in to Marvel Studios.
Charlie Cox first re-appeared as the Man Without Fear in last year’s Spider-Man: No Way Home in a brief cameo. Now it appears that the studio has major plans for the character moving forwards.
Though there has been no official word from Marvel as yet, Variety reports that Covert Affairs creators Matt Corman and Chris Ord are attached to the project write and executive produce. The pair most recently worked as executive producers and co-showrunners on the NBC drama shows The Enemy Within and The Brave as well as The CW series Containment.
Daredevil ran for 3 seasons on Netflix, those episodes are now available to stream via Disney+ globally.
