Now that Echo has had her time in the sun, Daredevil will be gearing up to make a return in his upcoming Disney+ series, Born Again. However, a few things regarding the show are bound to change, including the previously announced episode count.
Kevin Feige had earlier revealed that Daredevil: Born Again would comprise 18 episodes divided into nine-episode halves. This was back in 2022, and since then, a lot has changed - and keeps doing so as things are being finished up.
Kingpin actor Vincent D'Onofrio spoke to Comicbook.com, stating: "The amount of episodes keeps fluctuating, so I don't really know the number that we're at right now. But it seems like there are a few shows that could work with more episodes, then some that just need eight or 10 or six. Echo is like five."
Echo was always meant to be a spin-off from the Clint Barton series Hawkeye, so it's not all that surprising that it needed only five episodes. The same cannot be said for Daredevil: Born Again, a show that serves as a reboot of Netflix's acclaimed series, Marvel's Daredevil.
Setting up a whole new world centered around Hell's Kitchen's biggest characters is no easy feat. The only way Marvel Studios can accomplish this successfully is through a well-scripted story told across plenty of episodes. Thankfully, D'Onofrio and his co-star, Charlie Cox, are up to the task.
