Marvel has officially announced that Daredevil has
been picked up for a second season, which will air on Netflix in 2016. The
studio also revealed that due to prior engagements showrunner Steven S.
DeKnight won't return to lead the series into its new season.
With the first season of "Marvel's
Daredevil" proving a smash success with both audiences and critics,
Netflix and Marvel will continue to create further adventures of the Man
Without Fear! Doug Petrie ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "American
Horror Story") and Marco Ramirez ("Sons of Anarchy"), who worked
closely with Executive Producers Steven S. DeKnight and Drew Goddard during the
first season, will serve as showrunners for Season 2. Petrie, Ramirez, Goddard
("Cabin in the Woods"), and Jeph Loeb ("Marvel's Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D.") will serve as Executive Producers of Season 2.
“While previous commitments unfortunately prevent me from continuing on
with Daredevil into its second season," DeKnight explains, "I could
not be happier that Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez are carrying the torch. They
were invaluable collaborators during our first season, and I for one can't wait
to see what they do with the show moving forward."
Marvel's Daredevil was the first in a line of adaptations coming to the
streaming service. A.K.A. Jessica Jones will premiere later this year, while
Luke Cage is set to be launched in 2016. Iron Fist, and The Defenders have not
yet been given an official release date.
