DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2 Will Connect to SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY

According to Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum, the Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 will directly connect to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, tying the Man Without Fear and the wall-crawler together in meaningful ways.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Winderbaum teased, “There’s a lot of communication between the two teams” to make sure the show and movie link up.

Without giving too much away, he explained that Born Again “very much exists in the same world [as Brand New Day], and it is important. We’re in a shared universe together.

“The Daredevil and Punisher comic books depict a certain tone and idea of New York in a different way than Spider-Man’s. But they both exist in the same universe: everything lines up and the impacts are felt, but we’re able to tell different stories.”

That’s exciting news for fans who’ve long hoped to see Matt Murdock and Peter Parker cross paths again. Brand New Day will reportedly explore how Spider-Man fits into a New York under the watchful eye of Mayor Wilson Fisk, who’s enforcing strict anti-vigilante laws. It sounds like Peter will have his hands full, but don’t count on seeing Tom Holland pop up alongside Matt in Born Again just yet.

When asked about the possibility of other Defenders like Iron Fist or Luke Cage appearing in Born Again season two, Winderbaum made it clear that the focus remains on the core story.

He said the season is “a little deeper” than any surprise cameos and added, “There are rewards to be had for fans, but it’s really about the stakes of this world that this Kingpin is building in New York City.”

So while Spider-Man may not be swinging into Hell’s Kitchen right away, Born Again is setting the stage for a shared street-level Marvel world that feels grounded, gritty, and connected. The ripple effects of Matt and Fisk’s ongoing war will be felt all across the city, and into the events of Brand New Day.

Daredevil: Born Again returns in 2026, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day set to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.
