Daredevil Showrunner Prefers Street-Level Focus Over Season 2’s Political Themes
As the highly anticipated season 2 of *Daredevil: Born Again* approaches, showrunner Dario Scardapane sheds light on its evolving themes. The new season will delve into street-level narratives rather than heavily focusing on political themes. This shift comes as the story of Matt Murdock, played by Charlie Cox, intertwines with the ambitions of the newly elected Mayor Fisk, portrayed by Vincent D’Onofrio.

Season 2 promises to explore the darker aspects of New York City under Fisk’s reign.
