Series on Marvel superhero Daredevil in development at Disney Plus

According to reports, Disney Plus is developing a new series based on Marvel superhero Daredevil.

A leading international publication reports that Covert Affairs co-creators Matt Corman and Chris Ord are already on board to write and executive produce the show.


Speculations had always been rife about the Daredevil series making a return in a new form after it was cancelled by Netflix in 2018 following a three-season run.

Rumours about the show returning gained momentum after actor Charlie Cox reprised his role of Matt Murdock aka Daredevil in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Vincent D'Onofrio appeared as Wilson Fisk in the Disney+ series Hawkeye.

Charlie Cox previously played the blind lawyer and superhero for three seasons on Netflix from 2015-to 2018, as well as in the 2017 crossover miniseries The Defenders.

It has not been explicitly stated that Cox and D’Onofrio will return for a Disney+ Daredevil series, but both are reportedly working together on the upcoming Hawkeye spin-off Echo.

Marvel Studios is yet to confirm the return of Daredevil. An official announcement is highly awaited.

Meanwhile, some publications have reported that there is a strong possibility that Daredevil will appear in Marvel’s She-Hulk: Attorney At Law. While Daredevil and She-Hulk are friends in the comics, they have only faced off in court once in 2014 during a run from Charles Soule and Javier Pulido. She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is set to premiere on August 17th on Disney Plus.

Netflix has approved a $25 billion share buyback programme, using capital it had kept aside for its failed bid to buy Warner Bros.
The board gave the green light on 22 April, with the decision disclosed in an SEC filing the next day.
There is no expiry date on the programme. It comes on top of an existing December 2024 buyback that still had $6.8 billion left as of 31 March.

Earlier this year, Netflix pulled out of an $83 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros' streaming and studio assets after Paramount Skydance made a rival bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount then paid Netflix a $2.8 billion exit fee.

Co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters had already said the company would restart share buybacks once the deal was off.

Netflix shares have had a rough ride. They hit an all-time high of $134.12 in June 2025, then fell more than 40 per cent when the Warner Bros deal was announced.
