DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Producer Teases a "Different" Season 2 and Addresses New Take on the Comic Character Cole North

The first season of the rebooted Daredevil: Born Again has wrapped, with the show’s finale airing this week. But before it came to an end, series executive producer Sana Amanat sat down with Marvel.com (via CBM) to talk about how production is going on season 2. "It’s been great. We’ve been shooting a lot of crazy sequences," she teased. "The crew is crushing it, and the action is nonstop. The backdrop is a little different. It’s still New York, but it’s a slightly different kind of New York. I’m very excited about the material we’ve been getting. I’ve been fangirling all week. We shot a really big sequence with Wilson Fisk this week, and I felt like a kid in a candy shop [Laughs]," Amanat added. As for whether the making of season 1 has shaped how the creative team has approached the next batch of episodes, she said:"I’m very happy with the way Season 1 ended up, especially considering all of the starts and stops. Ultimately, these actors are such incredible performers. You just have to trust them, and you know they’re going to give you the material that you need.""We’re all fans, and we’re trying to do things that we feel are delivering on fan expectations. The last two episodes [of Season 1] for us were really about serving the fans and ourselves," Amanat continued. "There are some fun sequences that you are going to see, especially in the last episode. And Season 2 will hopefully be even more fun."The creators and producers of this season had a big job to do, as they took over after some episodes were shot, and the studio decided to go another way. They did a great job, but season 2 should run smoother without the hiccup. One standout storyline that was changed from the comics was that of the heroic character Cole North, who is now a villainous member of Mayor Fisk's Anti-Vigilante Task Force. When asked about the show's approach to Jeremy Isaiah Earl's Cole, Amanat explained, "No spoilers for the finale, but there are definitely some big revelations with that character that are a bit different from the comics. What we’re trying to do is tell a story about the extremes that a character believes he has to go through to be the kind of individual he believes himself to be. He thinks he is justified.""Exploring and telling that story, we’re coming in from a very different angle. There is definitely more to come, and it’s a great example of adapting and trying new things. But we feel like there’s a lot more story to tell with that character," she concluded.Season 1 was fantastic, and season 2 was set up in an exciting way that fans are looking forward to returning to. Daredevil: Born Again season 1 is available to watch in its entirety on Disney+. Stay tuned for updates on season 2.
