Netflix Confirms Daredevil Season 3 Premiering This Year

The Defenders, including Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Daredevil, got a mini-series last year, and several have gotten new seasons of their solo shows this year. Since three out of four Defenders will have gotten a second season by the end of the year, many were wondering whether Daredevil would as well, but now it's been confirmed that Season 3 will premiere before the year is out.

Many had initially thought that the third season of Daredevil wouldn't be premiering until 2019, precisely because the other Defenders were all getting new seasons this year, but Netflix had something to say about that.

Ted Sarantos, CEO of the streaming service, spoke about the its upcoming release slate during Netflix's Q2 earnings video, saying, "In the short term, we've got new seasons coming up, in the second half of this year, of Orange is the New Black, Ozark, Iron Fist, Daredevil, Narcos, the finale of House of Cards, the follow-up series to Making a Murderer."

This announcement is a definitive confirmation that Daredevil Season 3 is scheduled to premiere this year. There is no release date for the season yet, but there are a few promo photos out. Iron Fist Season 2 is also coming out on September 7, and a trailer has been released for the new season.
