Niet zo heel erg verwonderlijk nieuws dat Daredevil een tweede seizoen krijgt, want de Netflix serie Daredevil is een groot succes bij ons nerd en geeks. Ondanks dat deze blinde superheld niet echt heel erg populair is en zichzelf nu op het kleine scherm heeft moeten bewijzen, lijkt het er op dat dit een gevestigde franchise gaat worden. Maar meer daar over op deze website.

In a turn of events that's both surprising and not entirely unexpected, Netflix has renewed Marvel's Daredevil for a second season, with the show returning in 2016. When Marvel TV first announced its plans to expand into the world of Netflix, the idea was that four individual shows-Daredevil, A.K.A. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist-would each air in succession before a team-up Defenders miniseries. With Daredevil now coming back next year, it appears the plan has been altered.

But when Daredevil Season 2 debuts, there'll be a few changes. Spartacus alum Steven S. DeKnight stepped in to take over the series when creator Drew Goddard left to work on his Sinister Six movie at Sony, but Netflix says DeKnight will not be back as showrunner for the second season. Instead, Doug Petrie (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, American Horror Story) and Marco Ramirez (Sons of Anarchy, Da Vinci's Demons) will be acting as the new showrunners, with Netflix stressing that the two "worked closely" with DeKnight throughout the first season. Petrie wrote the Season 1 episodes "Stick", "The Ones We Leave Behind", and "The Path of Righteousness", and Ramirez wrote "Rabbit in a Snowstorm" and "Condemned".
