Elden Henson has confirmed that his character Foggy Nelson will not return in Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. As a result, this dashes fan hopes of reversing his shocking Season 1 death.
At LA Comic Con, Henson addressed speculation directly:
“I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s just not happening.”
This announcement has therefore sparked discussions among fans online, with many expressing disappointment, while at the same time, others remain excited for the series’ evolving storyline. Nevertheless, despite Foggy’s absence, the series promises to maintain its gripping narrative and character dynamics.
Returning Characters in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
Fans can expect to see several familiar faces returning, helping to maintain the continuity of the MCU’s street-level heroes:
- Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil
- Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin
- Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/Punisher
- Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page
- Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk
These returning characters will likely play pivotal roles in Season 2, as they navigate new threats and deepen the emotional stakes. For example, Daredevil and Kingpin’s ongoing rivalry remains one of the series’ core tensions, so fans can anticipate intense confrontations.
Exciting New Cast Members
The upcoming season also introduces exciting new characters, broadening the MCU’s interconnected universe:
- Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones (making her MCU debut)
- Matthew Lillard in an undisclosed role
- Lili Taylor joining the cast
Ritter’s appearance has therefore sparked speculation about the possible inclusion of other Defenders—Mike Colter’s Luke Cage and Finn Jones’ Iron Fist—although nothing is officially confirmed. Furthermore, the addition of new characters opens the door for fresh storylines, alliances, and conflicts, thus keeping the series dynamic and unpredictable.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Premiere and Expectations
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is scheduled to premiere in March 2026, with production already underway. Meanwhile, the series currently holds an 87% Rotten Tomatoes score, which is slightly below the original show’s 92% rating for its first season.
Fans can therefore anticipate high-stakes drama, action-packed sequences, and expanded storytelling that further explores the moral complexities of heroes and villains. Moreover, with both returning and new characters, Season 2 aims to deliver a thrilling experience while staying true to the gritty tone that made the original series a fan favorite. In addition, the MCU’s ongoing strategy of integrating street-level heroes into larger narratives also suggests that future seasons may explore crossovers or unexpected team-ups, thus keeping viewers engaged and invested in the broader Marvel Universe.
