It's 2026, Daredevil has been canceled, and fans are petitioning to save the show. Marvel Studios announced earlier this week that Daredevil: Born Again will end with Season 3, and showrunner Dario Scardapane has left during post-production after Disney declined to renew his contract, despite reports that reshoots are underway. Born Again faced a rocky production, beginning as an 18-episode season in 2022 with Matt Corman and Chris Ord as head writers, before production halted during the 2023 strikes, when Marvel opted for a complete creative reset. Corman and Ord were let go, and Scardapane was brought on board. You could feel that tumultuous shake-up in the first season, but season two was widely agreed to have found its footing, with many hoping that the third season would mark the show finally coming into its own. Instead, it's shaping up to be an abrupt end. Despite the show's troubled production, fans are still desperate to see more from Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, and perhaps even Elden Henson, if you buy into the witness protection theories. So, much like in 2018, a petition urging Disney to "continue Daredevil Born Again" has been made on Change.org, amassing over 1,600 signatures in just two days. That's nowhere near the half-a-million signatures amassed by the original #SaveDaredevil campaign, but the fact that fans are reaching for the same playbook eight years later is striking. The famous #SaveDaredevil petition from 2018 reached over 430,000 signatures. "Daredevil Born Again season 4 has been canceled," the description reads. "The sadness I have felt learning this news takes me right back to when I was younger. Daredevil is an admirable, fan adored character that should be on the bottom of the list for getting canceled." Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Viewership Dropped 50% In The US: Can He Escape Death A Second Time? Of course, Born Again ending doesn't strictly mean that Charlie Cox is resigning as Daredevil—he could easily continue in the role through specials and appearances in future movies, much like The Punisher. But many of the signatories note that they want to see Daredevil's world explored further with villains beyond Kingpin, signposting their comments with #SaveDaredevil in the hopes of igniting the same fury as in 2018. Disney hasn't explained why Born Again is ending, so it's impossible to know whether the decision came down to its declining viewership, broader plans for Daredevil, or something else entirely. What we do know is that Daredevil has been canceled after three seasons yet again, and fans are petitioning Marvel to overturn the decision yet again. Only this time, it's harder to imagine the Devil of Hell's Kitchen crawling out of the rubble.
