Henson, Woll Returning For “Daredevil” S2

Marvel’s Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum has confirmed that actors Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson will be returning for the upcoming second season of “Marvel’s Daredevil”.

The confirmation follows a report from scooper MyTimeToShineH earlier this week that indicated both Jon Bernthal and Wilson Bethel will be back, reprising their roles of Frank Castle/The Punisher and Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter/Bullseye respectively.

Production has just begun on the second season which will shoot eight episodes throughout this year ahead of an airing in 2026. Speaking with Phase Hero, Winderbaum says:

“I see Karen and Foggy as being intrinsically tied to Matt, I don’t think there’s you a Matt Murdock story without without those two characters, and I’m excited to see them both in Season Two as well… Both Deborah [Ann Woll] and Elden [Hensen] are coming back for Season Two.”

The comments come as Kingpin himself, actor Vincent D’Onofrio, has spoken with IGN about returning to the role and about the previous incarnation of the series before the midway through production creative overhaul.

He says he was uncomfortable with the initial version and the way it ignored events of the Netflix show: “It was a straight-up ‘Hey, forget what you just saw, this is what we’re doing’ that was tough for me to swallow and we felt emotional about not having the others back.”

Then that version was retooled. New first, eighth and ninth episodes were shot and the remaining six were re-edited and had new footage and scenes added to them. D’Onofrio says of the new versin:

“I would consider [‘Daredevil: Born Again’] a fourth season, it’s a new path, we kind of blow it up, the past. But it’s there and it’s connected. The way that we finally ended up doing it, it worked really well and I think it needed the connection to the Netflix show. It needed the other characters to come back Everybody needed all the familiar faces. The other iteration wouldn’t have had that.”

The first two episodes of “Daredevil: Born Again” are online now with weekly episodes (except Episodes 5 & 6 which are expected to be a double) airing through until April 15th.
