Daredevil: Born Again is supposed to end with season three, says Marvel TV head

That plan has clearly changed, though Winderbaum sure was stressing the word “always” during his talk with Davis. “The plan was always to culminate at three,” he said this week. “Because the way we’re looking at it, the original series is three seasons; Born Again is three seasons. They’re kind of like trade paperbacks or collections that you can slot into your shelves—like these are two three-volume sets, and then we will take a breath and figure out what’s next for the character.” As most trade collections infrequently share the same number of issues, we suggest you not take Winderbaum’s metaphor at face value, but rather accept it as a nice, clean, and very corporate explanation for why Marvel is putting Born Again to bed. Do not, for instance, compare his Born Again/Netflix volume example with the trade collections for, say, Daredevil: Born Again and Daredevil: The Man Without Fear, since the former collected eight issues while the latter collected a paltry five; otherwise, what Winderbaum just said wouldn’t make much sense. 

Winderbaum continued to spritz water on Scardapane and Marvel’s rift by saying nice things about his work on season three. “I think Dario hit the story from some very interesting angles,” he said before affirming that season three would tackle, at least in part, the “Devil In Cell Block D” storyline by Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark. *thinks* Maybe Winderbaum’s “volume sets” metaphor is his way of hinting at a possible 4K box set launch for both Daredevil and its revival series! We mean, probably not, but what if? At any rate, if you’re still keen on watching series stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio slam their meaty fists into each other’s faces from now until infinity, there’s still time to do as Charlie says and join the “Save Daredevil” campaign.
