Netflix Daredevil Showrunner Discusses Scrapped Season Plans and Villain Choices

The Netflix Daredevil series had big plans before its cancellation in 2018, and showrunner Erik Oleson recently shared some insights into what could’ve been. Originally intended for a fourth season was a storyline featuring a different villain for Matt Murdock, rather than Bullseye, who was going to take a backseat. Bulleye’s arc was then planned to be revisited in a potential fifth season. Unfortunately, due to the Marvel Studios/Disney shift, these plans never came to fruition. Oleson mentioned that the fourth season would have highlighted Typhoid Mary as the main antagonist, hinting at a different direction for the show’s narrative. Fans of the show can’t help but wonder how Alice Eve’s portrayal of Typhoid Mary in Iron Fist would have been incorporated.

Now, with Daredevil: Born Again serving as a spiritual fourth season of the show, viewers can immerse themselves in the world of Matt Murdock once again. The series follows the blind lawyer and vigilante as he navigates his way through both legal battles and physical challenges in New York city. Rekindling his rivalry with Wilson Fisk, the former mob boss turned political figure, adds another layer of intensity to the narrative. With a talented cast including Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, and others, the show promises to deliver high-octane entertainment.

For those interested in diving deeper into the nitty-gritty details, the show’s episodes are directed by industry professionals like Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, Michael Cuesta, and others. Showrunners like Dario Scardapane are steering the ship, ensuring that the series stays true to its roots while exploring new storylines and character arcs. Will Typhoid Mary return in future seasons? That’s still up in the air, but for now, fans can enjoy the captivating drama that Daredevil: Born Again brings to the table.
