Netflix was quick to renewDaredevilfor a third season following the tremendous success of the second season, which introduced Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, to the current Marvel TV universe.Daredevil season 3 hasn’t started filming yet, but Charlie Cox did say that production would be getting underway at some point this year. Now it looks like we have a start time, and Matt Murdock is going back to Hell’s Kitchen for Halloween this year.
According to a new report fromMCU Exchange,Marvel’s Daredevilseason 3 will start shooting this October in New York City. That means we will almost definitely see the show return sometime next year, but likely later in the year. Here’s what their report had to say about it.
“We can definitely report that the much-awaited third season of Daredevil will begin filming in October of this year, specifically during the month’s later weeks, according to our source close to the production. Just in time for Halloween.”
Daredevilseason 2 debuted on Netflix in March 2016. That means that it will almost certainly be more than two years between new seasons of the beloved series. But there are a few good reasons for that. Firstly, Charlie Cox has been busy filmingThe Defendersseason 1, which finally arrives on Netflix August 18. Not only that, but Marvel and Netflix also found a couple of big hits withJessica JonesandLuke Cage, which both got picked up for additional seasons.Jessica Jonesseason 2 andLuke Cageseason 2 have both been in production and are likely to debut next year as well. That being the case, it would have been tough forDaredevil season 3to also be in production at the same time.
With that in mind, we are probably going to see three seasons ofnew Marvel Netflix shows in 2018.Jessica Jonesseason 2 will likely debut first around March or April, withLuke Cageseason 2 set to follow, probably close to August. That leavesDaredevilseason 3 likely to bow around November. If the streaming service continues their pattern of releasing three new seasons of Marvel shows each year, which they are starting this year by releasingIron Fistseason 1,The DefendersandThe Punisher season 1, we should expect to see that release pattern continue in the future.
Netflix and Marvelhave yet to officially announce any release dates for their currently in-the-works seasons, but it would make sense for them to come out in that order.Iron Fistseason 2 also recently got the green light, so they will have that to contend with as well. In any case, we should be hearing some casting announcements and possibly bet getting some plot details forDaredevilseason 3 soon, with production scheduled to begin in just a couple of months. Are we finally going to see an adaptation of Frank Miller’sBorn Againstoryline? One can only hope.
