Daredevil is now on Disney Plus, but the show you're looking for depends on which version you want to watch
Marvel's Daredevil — the original Netflix series starring Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock — moved to Disney Plus in November 2022. If you have a Disney Plus subscription, you can stream all three seasons of the original show directly through the app on any device where you use Disney Plus. The show appears in the Marvel section of the app, searchable by title.
There is also a newer Daredevil: Born Again series in development at Marvel Studios for Disney Plus, but it has not yet released. That show will premiere sometime in 2025, and you'll be able to stream it the same way — through your Disney Plus app once it airs.
If you're looking for Daredevil content specifically to watch right now, the original three-season series is what's available on Disney Plus today.

How to find Daredevil in the Disney Plus app
Open the Disney Plus app on your phone, tablet, computer, or streaming device. At the top or in the menu, tap or click Search. Type "Daredevil" into the search box. The original series will appear in the results — tap or click on it to open the show page.
From the show page, you can read a description, see the episode list, and start watching from Season 1, Episode 1. If you've already watched some episodes, Disney Plus will remember where you stopped and offer to resume playback.
Alternatively, you can browse to the Marvel section of Disney Plus and scroll through the list of available shows. Daredevil appears alongside other Marvel series like The Defenders, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage — all of which also moved from Netflix to Disney Plus.
What to know about the original Daredevil series
The original Daredevil ran for three seasons on Netflix between 2015 and 2018. It follows Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer in New York City who fights crime at night as the masked vigilante Daredevil. The show is rated TV-MA, meaning it contains violence and language not suitable for children.
All 39 episodes are available on Disney Plus. You can watch them in order starting with Season 1, or jump to any episode you've already seen. The show does not require you to watch other Marvel series first, though some characters and events connect to The Defenders miniseries and the other Netflix Marvel shows that are also on Disney Plus.
Daredevil: Born Again — what's coming in 2025
Marvel Studios is producing a new Daredevil series called Daredevil: Born Again that will premiere on Disney Plus in 2025. Charlie Cox is returning to play Matt Murdock. This new series is separate from the original Netflix show and will be part of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe storyline.
When Daredevil: Born Again releases, it will appear on Disney Plus the same way the original series does — searchable by title in the app, available to all subscribers. You won't need to pay extra or unlock anything; it will be included with your Disney Plus subscription.

Subscription requirements and costs
You must have an active Disney Plus subscription to watch Daredevil. Disney Plus offers several subscription options: a standard plan with ads, a standard plan without ads, and a premium plan with 4K video. Pricing varies by region and changes periodically, so check the Disney Plus website for current rates in your area.
If you don't have Disney Plus yet, you can sign up through the Disney Plus website or app. Some people get Disney Plus as part of a bundle with Hulu and ESPN Plus, which may cost less than buying each service separately. Student discounts are also sometimes available.
Daredevil is not available on any other Disney streaming service, including Hulu or ESPN Plus. It is only on Disney Plus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Daredevil free on Disney Plus?
No. Daredevil is only available to people with a paid Disney Plus subscription. You cannot watch it for free, but it is included with any active Disney Plus plan — you don't pay extra to watch it beyond your subscription cost.
Can I watch Daredevil without watching other Marvel shows first?
Yes. The original Daredevil series stands on its own and does not require you to watch any other Marvel show. Some characters appear in The Defenders miniseries, but you can understand and enjoy Daredevil without that context.
Where did Daredevil come from before Disney Plus?
Daredevil originally aired on Netflix from 2015 to 2018. When Disney's contract with Netflix ended, Disney moved the show to Disney Plus. The show itself hasn't changed — it's the same three seasons with the same episodes.
When will Daredevil: Born Again be on Disney Plus?
Daredevil: Born Again is scheduled to premiere on Disney Plus in 2025, but an exact date has not been announced yet. Check the Disney Plus app or Marvel's official announcements for the release date once it's confirmed.
Can I read Daredevil episodes to watch offline?
Yes, if your Disney Plus plan includes read rights. Open the episode or season you want to read, look for the read icon, and tap it. The show will read to your device and you can watch it without an internet connection. Downloaded episodes expire after a set time, so you'll need to refresh them periodically.
