Matt and Karen Take the Spotlight Again in New ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2 Behind-the-Scenes Photos

Marvel fans finally got a fresh look at Deborah Ann Woll returning as Karen in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. Recent set leaks have sparked speculation that romance might be rekindled between her and Matt, especially after a photo surfaced showing the two of them holding hands.

A major twist in the first episode of Born Again left viewers wondering about Karen’s future. Elden Henson’s character, Franklin “Foggy” Nelson, Matt’s best friend and a fan favorite, was killed off, shocking everyone. After that, Karen moves to San Francisco, cutting ties with Matt, her former love interest from the original Netflix series. She didn’t even appear in episode two, making fans ask: will she play a big part in this show?

Showrunner Dario Scardapane recently addressed these concerns. Some called Karen’s role “limited,” but he pushed back on that idea. “Limited presence I would question,” he said. “There are things to be revealed.” He hinted at more to come, adding, “Because it is this [superhero] world, don’t count everything out quite yet. There are returns that I think are surprising and inevitable.”

In February 2025, Dario Scardapane, Justin Benson, and Aaron Moorhead were confirmed to return for season two. Benson and Moorhead are directing several episodes, including the first two. Scardapane later said the new season will actually have just eight episodes. He also said the show’s production is running more smoothly this time.

Both Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson were confirmed to return ahead of Season 2 filming.

In April 2025, directors Solvan Naim and Iain B. MacDonald joined the project. Then in May, Vincent D’Onofrio revealed that Angela Barnes would also direct some episodes. Barnes had also worked on another Marvel series, Ironheart.

The executive producers for the season are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Sana Amanat, Dario Scardapane, Justin Benson, and Aaron Moorhead. The show is made under Marvel Studios’ “Marvel Television” label.

Filming for season two began on February 28, 2025. The directors include Benson and Moorhead, Naim, MacDonald, and Barnes. The working title used on set is Out the Kitchen 2. Hillary Fyfe Spera is back as the cinematographer, along with Jeffrey Waldron, who is filming the episodes directed by Naim and MacDonald.

In late March 2025, filming took place in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, with Charlie Cox seen wearing his black Daredevil suit at the Josie’s Bar set. In early April, actor Wilson Bethel filmed scenes in the Chelsea area. By mid-May, filming was halfway done and is expected to finish in July 2025.

Season two is set to premiere in March 2026. It will have eight episodes and will be part of Phase Six of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
