Daredevil Season 3 Story

Here’s the official synopsis:

“Missing for months, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) reemerges a broken man, putting into question his future as both vigilante Daredevil and lawyer Matthew Murdock. But when his archenemy Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) is released from prison, Matt must choose between hiding from the world or embracing his destiny as a hero.”

So what does the ending of The Defenders mean for Daredevil Season 3? Quite a bit. For one thing, Matt’s going to have a much harder time trying to keep his identity secret since he disappeared at the same time as Daredevil. But more importantly, the introduction of the mysterious Sister Maggie would seem to be the first seed planted for the show to eventually reach what should be its natural crescendo: the classic Frank Miller/David Mazzucchelli story, Born Again. We don’t necessarily think it’s going to be a direct adaptation for this season, though.

“When I walked in the door, Marvel had a number of ideas of what they thought season three might contain,” showrunner Erik Oleson told us (read more from that interview right here). “Certainly the return of Fisk was a major piece of the puzzle that they were very eager to use. Similarly, they gave me the option of introducing this major villain from the Daredevil pantheon.”

And while the season is inspired by classic comic book tales like Born Again and Guardian Devil, it is not an adaptation of either of those. ““It is not a predictable season,” Oleson tells us (read more of this interview here!). “There are moments that resonated with me tonally that I used for inspiration in an original story. I am not using a direct translation from any of the comics, I think that that would have been a mistake. I wanted to give the audience what they wanted but not in the way that they expected.”

Daredevil Season 3 Review

“All signs point to Daredevil season 3 as a standout. While it’s a slow starter, it feels like it has purpose, and the impression from about the middle of the third episode onwards is that it’s gathering momentum with virtually every scene.”
