‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Launches With 7.5 Million Views on Disney+
“Daredevil: Born Again” enjoyed a strong launch on Disney+.
According to the Mouse House, the Marvel Television series drew 7.5 million views in its first five days of availability on Disney+, with a view defined as total stream time divided by runtime. That makes it the biggest streaming debut on the platform this year. The show officially launched on March 4.
Disney does not regularly release viewership information about its streaming shows, so exact comparisons are difficult. But for some context, it was previously reported that the Sterling K. Brown drama “Paradise” drew 7 million views across its first nine days of streaming on Hulu and Disney+ earlier this year, while fellow Marvel show “Agatha All Along” drew between 3 and 5 million views at different points in its run in late 2024.
“Daredevil: Born Again” saw the return of Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Wilson Bethel, and Jon Bernthal after they had all previously starred in the Marvel-Netflix series “Daredevil.” Additional cast members include Margarita Levieva, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, and Ayelet Zurer.
Cox once again stars as the titular Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer who spends his nights battling criminal in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen as the vigilante Daredevil. D’Onofrio plays legendary Marvel supervillain Wilson Fisk, a.k.a Kingpin.
The show has enjoyed positive reviews as well, with Aramide Tinubu writing in her review for Variety, “This ‘Daredevil’ revival is wonderfully complex. The show takes a sledgehammer to its former Netflix world, allowing the titular character and those orbiting him to transform under the weight and pain of time.”
Dario Scardapane serve as the series showrunner and executive producer. Kevin Feige executive produces along with Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Sana Amanat, Chris Gary, Matt Corman & Chris Ord, and Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead. Benson and Moorhead also directed for the series along with Michael Cuesta, Jeffrey Nachmanoff, and David Boyd.
