New 'Daredevil' series starring Charlie Cox in the works at Disney+

Fans have been clamouring for more Daredevil ever since the Netflix series was canceled in 2018 after three seasons.

A new Daredevil series is moving forward at Disney+, with Variety having exclusively learned from sources that Matt Corman and Chris Ord are attached to write and executive produce.

Rumors have persisted for some time that a Disney+ series about the Man Without Fear was in the works, especially considering that two of the stars of the Netflix Daredevil series – Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio – have appeared in recent Marvel projects. Cox once again played Matt Murdock, the secret identity of Daredevil, in the film Spider-Man: No Way Home, while D'Onofrio reprised the role of Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin, in the Disney+ series Hawkeye.

It now appears that the project is picking up steam with the hiring of Corman and Ord, although Marvel has yet to announce anything regarding the show formally.

Reps for Corman and Ord declined to comment. Marvel Studios reps do not comment on projects in development.

Corman and Ord most famously co-created the USA Network series Covert Affairs starring Piper Perabo and Christopher Gorham. The show aired for five seasons on the basic cabler between 2010 and 2014. They most recently worked as executive producers and co-showrunners on the NBC drama shows The Enemy Within and The Brave as well as The CW series Containment.

Fans have been clamouring for more Daredevil ever since the Netflix series was canceled in 2018 after three seasons. They were in for a long wait, however, as Variety reported in 2018 that the deal with Netflix included a clause that prevented any characters from the Marvel-Netflix shows from appearing in any non-Netflix projects for two years after cancellation.

The move came as Disney looked to bring its Marvel heroes under one umbrella, with multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe shows having since debuted on Disney+. Moon Knight starring Oscar Isaac was the last such show to premiere, with a trailer for the She-Hulk series starring Tatiana Maslany dropping earlier this week. – Reuters
