Daredevil: Born Again (45:30)

The writing team and directors were let go from Daredevil in September in a ‘creative reboot’ for the series

Legal procedural way different than the Netflix version; no costume till episode 4 even
Biggest problems so far were on Secret Invasion with execs vying for control of series, causing delays and lowest ratings among any MCU shows

Marvel/Disney is overhauling their Disney+ and TV series wing

Bringing in TV showrunners, rather than relying on film executives, to help have a creative throughline from start to finish
Have not focused on a ‘writer first’ approach, but rather a fix it in post (ways that have worked for the movies)
Having full time TV-execs rather than using the film ones
Leaning into multi-season shows and away from limited series formats to help build characters
“It should work beyond the fact that it ties into other projects or if they’re going to be a movie or even set up an Avengers film”

Synopsis: 

 "rivals Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) try to leave behind their darker alter-egos to serve the people of New York only to have their pasts catch up to them. In the first episode of the series we are reintroduced to the world of Daredevil."
