The MCU’s Most Popular Series Makes Shock Debut on Hulu
Daredevil: Born Again is undeniably one of the best superhero shows on Disney+. Fans’ love for the devil of Hell’s Kitchen dates back to his Netflix days, when the streamer was developing a TV universe of Marvel heroes. The slick one-takes, action choreography, grey characters, and Matt Murdock’s (Charlie Cox) mortal dilemma kept the fans glued to their seats. The love for Daredevil (Cox) and admiration for Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) were at their peak in those times.
But times do change; eventually, the series was cancelled by Netflix, and fans appealed to Marvel Studios to save the character, to which the studio finally obliged. The series was planned with 18 episodes and Cox and D’Onofrio returning, but after a creative overhaul, it was set to debut with a 9-episode season featuring almost all of the original cast. The series almost saved the studio, which was creatively challenged at the time, as the movies underperformed and fans’ interest waned. The first season of Daredevil: Born Again wooed the audiences with a healthy dose of nostalgia, character chemistry, and a timely storyline.
Now, the first season of Daredevil: Born Again is available to stream on Hulu for a limited time. The news comes at the heels of a strong start to Born Again season 2, which earned a solid 95 percent Rotten Tomatoes score from the critics and 92 percent from audiences. Sending a show to Hulu isn’t a new thing for Marvel, which has used a similar strategy with Echo, Secret Invasion, and, most recently, with Wonder Man.

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2 Is Even Better Than Season 1
The latest installment of Daredevil: Born Again brings us back to New York under Fisk’s strict anti-vigilante laws as Matt, Karen, and others try to protect the weak. It has teased a major role for Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) and a promise of characters like Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, adding a punch to the storyline. Collider’s Therese Lacson called the second season “a far, far better showing than Season 1.” Further noting,
“Despite all of that, it’s hard to deny that when Daredevil: Born Again is good, it’s very good. In the moments when the action hits, the writing is solid, and the performances shine, it’s firing on all cylinders. The problem is consistency, and it doesn’t feel like the Disney+ show has a full grasp on that just yet.”
Check out Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 on Hulu, and Season 2 is streaming on Disney+, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
