Deadline has learned that Disney has fired its head writers and what sounds like some of its directors for Daredevil: Born Again after determining that the show “wasn’t working.” According to the sources with the publication, Chris Ord and Matt Corman have already been let go, along with a number of “episodic directors for the remainder of the series.” Marvel originally announced Daredevil: Born Again in July 2022 during San Diego Comic-Con 2022, teasing an 18-episode streaming series that would see Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio reprise their roles yet again as Daredevil and Kingpin, respectively, in Spring 2024.
Less than half of the series’ 18 episodes were shot. Marvel plans to keep some footage though the series will pivot from being a procedural show to having a more serialized focus.
Daredevil originally debuted on Netflix, however, after Disney+ launched, a slew of Marvel series on Netflix reverted over to the Mouse House’s streaming service in mid-March 2022. Other Marvel series that went from Netflix to Disney+ were Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, The Defenders and The Punisher.
