Charlie Cox’s Daredevil may have originated on Netflix, but the masked hero is returning on Disney+. For reference, the original Daredevil show started airing in 2015, while Disney+ launched in 2020. Now you'll find the original Daredevil, as well as new episodes of Daredevil: Born Again, on the Disney-owned service.

Disney+ subscriptions start at $9.99, and while the service doesn’t offer a free trial, it is part of the new streaming bundle with Hulu and Max.

Daredevil: Born Again Episode Release Dates

Daredevil: Born Again premiered on March 4 with its first two episodes. Episodes will be released weekly on the same schedule, each Tuesday at 9pm EST/6pm PST, for a total of nine episodes in the first season. The only interruption to that schedule was another double-episode drop at around the mid-season point. Episodes vary in length, reportedly from 39 minutes to upwards of an hour.

What Is Daredevil: Born Again About?

Daredevil: Born Again is a sequel to 2015's Daredevil show, with most characters (and their associated plot points) carrying over to the new series. It's unclear how exactly Born Again fits into the MCU timeline, but since the solo series, Charlie Cox's Daredevil has had a primary role in The Defenders, with smaller appearances in She-Hulk and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Daredevil's primary antagonist, Wilson Fisk, appeared in the Disney+ show Echo.

IGN recently did a deep dive into Frank Miller's original Born Again arc, which serves as inspiration for the new show's title, though the show will not be a direct adaptation. Instead, here's Marvel's official synopsis for Daredevil: Born Again:

Will There Be a Season 2?

Daredevil: Born Again was actually originally planned as a 19-episode season, but this is the streaming age, so now that season is split in two. The first season is nine episodes, while the second season will feature the second half (another nine episodes) of the original arc. There’s no word on when the second season will arrive on Disney+.

What About the Rest of 'The Defenders'?

Daredevil was once part of The Defenders, which ran for one season after Daredevil as well as the Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist TV shows. With the return of Daredevil, we might see comebacks from the rest of The Defenders. As of now, Marvel's head streaming, television, and animation has simply stated they're "exploring" the idea in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 Cast

Daredevil: Born Again was created by Dario Scardapane, Matt Corman, and Chris Ord. Dario Scardapane serves as showrunner, while Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead act as lead directors. The show stars the following actors, which include both new and returning cast members from the original show:

• Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil
• Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin
• Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn

• Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Marianna-Fisk
• Arty Froushan as Buck Cashman
• Clark Johnson as Cherry

Several cast members have already been confirmed for Season 2, including Matthew Lilliard.

New episodes of Lazarus will be available to stream on Max (instead of Crunchyroll or Netflix) the day after they broadcast on Adult Swim. That means new episodes of Lazarus will arrive on Max every Sunday. Max subscriptions start at $9.99 and can be bundled with Disney+ and Hulu.

According to a Warner Bros. press release, subbed versions of Lazarus episodes will air and arrive on Max 30 days after the dubbed episodes.

How to Watch New Episodes Live

Lazarus is airing simultaneously in Japan and the United States. In the States, you can watch new dubbed episodes of Lazarus live on Adult Swim during its Toonami block on Saturday nights. Aside from cable, Adult Swim is included in live TV subscriptions like Hulu + Live TV (which offers a three-day free trial).

Lazarus Episode Release Dates

The first season of Lazarus will include 13 episodes total. Each episode will air live on Adult Swim before arriving on Max. Note that episodes air at midnight (technically Sunday), but are part of Adult Swim's Saturday block, which is why that date is used. Think of it as you'll be staying up, not waking up, to watch new episodes.

Assuming it won't have a mid-season break, here's what I predict the episode release schedule will look like for Lazarus Season 1:

• Episode 1: "Goodbye Cruel World" - April 5 (12am EST/9pm PST)
  • Streaming: April 6, 2025
• Episode 2: "Life in the Fast Lane" - April 12 (12am EST/9pm PST)
  • Streaming: April 13
• Episode 3: "Long Way from Home" - April 19 (12am EST/9pm PST)
  • Streaming: April 20
• Episode 4 - April 26 (12am EST/9pm PST)
  • Streaming: April 27
• Episode 5 - May 3 (12am EST/9pm PST)
  • Streaming: May 4
• Episode 6 - May 10 (12am EST/9pm PST)
  • Streaming: May 11
• Episode 7 - May 17 (12am EST/9pm PST)
  • Streaming: May 18

  • Streaming: June 15
• Episode 12 - June 21 (12am EST/9pm PST)
  • Streaming: June 22
• Episode 13 - June 28 (12am EST/9pm PST)
  • Streaming: June 29

What Is Lazarus About?

In a rare move for the anime industry, Lazarus is entirely original. No manga inspiration here, so no reading ahead to find out what happens. Here’s the official plot synopsis from the Lazarus website:

Lazarus Voice Cast and Characters

Lazarus was created by Shinichirō Watanabe. Here's the main voice cast in Japanese and English:

• Mamoru Miyano (Japanese) and Jack Stansbury (English) as Axel
• Makoto Furukawa (Japanese) and Jovan Jackson (English) as Doug
• Maaya Uchida (Japanese) and Luci Christian (English) as Christine
• Yuma Uchida (Japanese) and Bryson Baugus (English) as Leland
• Manaka Iwami (Japanese) and Annie Wild (English) as Eleina
• Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese) and Jade Kelly (English) as Hersch
• Akio Otsuka (Japanese) and Sean Patrick Judge (English) as Abel
• Koichi Yamadera (Japanese); David Matranga (English) as Dr. Skinner

The rest of the Men’s March Madness tournament takes place today and Monday. That means you only need three days of a streaming service to watch the semi-finals and the National Championship. All three games will be airing live on CBS and simultaneously streamed on Paramount+, which happens to offer a 7-day free trial. In other words, if you sign up for Paramount+ right now, you can watch the Final Four games as well as the National Championship before your trial ends. Alternatively, you could use an HDTV antenna to watch the games live via your local CBS channel.

Other Free Trials That Let You Watch March Madness

Paramount may have the longest free trial (and cheapest ongoing subscription cost if you forget to cancel it), but plenty more live TV subscriptions include CBS. Services like Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV Stream might make sense for anyone who wants ongoing sports coverage, including NBA livestreams.

March Madness Final Four Game Schedule

There's only three games left in the March Madness tournament, all of which are being played in San Antonio at the Alamodome. See the full tournament schedule at the NCAA website.

Final Four (Semi-Finals) - Saturday, April 5

• (1) Florida vs. (1) Auburn - 6:09pm (CBS, Paramount+)
• (1) Duke vs. (1) Houston - 8:49pm (CBS, Paramount+)

National Championship - Monday, April 7

• TBA - 8:50pm (CBS, Paramount+)

All Top Seeds, But a Range of Experience in the Final Four

Every one of these top-seeded teams has something to prove. This is Duke's first time reaching the Final Four since Coach K retired back in 2022, and the Blue Devils lead predictions for taking the crown. Florida won back-to-back championships in 2006 and 2007, though the last time they made it to the Final Four was in 2014. Meanwhile, this is only Auburn's second time ever making it to this stage. Houston actually holds the record for the most Final Four appearances without any Championship wins (seven total), most recently reaching the semi-finals in 2021.
