The second season of the series "Daredevil: Born Again" premiered with a record rating of 8.8 on IMDb

So — season two of "Daredevil: Born Again" is now streaming on Disney+. The premiere episode already sits at an 8.8 on IMDb, which, FWIW, is a strong start even if some viewers will grumble about pacing.

The narrative picks up after the Netflix run, jumping the story forward six months. Wilson Fisk has moved into the mayor's office; Matt Murdock faces a choice that isn’t clean or heroic — he’ll need to forge risky pacts with former enemies, e.g., alliances that blur lines between friend and foe.

The familiar faces are back: Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, and Elden Henson return to their roles. For many fans, that continuity is the season’s emotional anchor.

Eight episodes comprise this run. Expect the next two installments on April 1, with the season’s final showdown scheduled for May 5.
