Marvel's Daredevil - Official Trailer - Netflix_ by [James Hibberd / EW](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## James Hibberd / EW Apr 22, 2015 12:33 PM UTC  Marvel's Daredevil Marvel's DaredevilNetflix by [James Hibberd / EW](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## James Hibberd / EW Apr 22, 2015 12:33 PM UTC _Daredevil_ will return! Marvel’s acclaimed superhero drama just received a second season order on Netflix. But there’s a twist: EW can exclusively report that showrunner Steven S. DeKnight (_Spartacus_) is stepping down from the series. Instead, writers Doug Petrie (_Buffy the Vampire Slayer_) and Marco Ramirez (_Sons of Anarchy_)—who worked closely with DeKnight and creator Drew Goddard in the first season—will both serve as the showrunners for season two. The next edition of _Daredevil_ will debut in 2016 as Netflix gets ready to release several other Marvel dramas: _A.K.A. Jessica Jones_, _Luke Cage_ and _Iron Fist_. After all four shows debut, Marvel plans to team all its Netflix heroes for an _Avengers_\-style series called _The Defenders_. _Daredevil_ debuted last week and received some of the best reviews of any superhero TV series, with critics praising the show for bringing grown-up dramatics, a cinematic style, and more realistic violence to the small-screen genre. Its [single-take hallway fight scene](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/04/15/daredevil-hallway-fight) became an instant classic. A fair measure of the show’s creative success can doubtless be attributed to to DeKnight, who [said he was trying to push Marvel’s comfort zone](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/04/07/daredevil-netflix-superhero), and made many unique storytelling moves. (For instance: the show’s major villain, Wilson Fisk, was originally supposed to be introduced in the first episode, but DeKnight rather boldly pushed him back to the very end of the third hour to more effectively build suspense around the character.) Clearly, the new showrunners will have to clear a high bar—but they both have strong past credits, and now have a great foundation to build on for season 2. “While previous commitments unfortunately prevent me from continuing on with _Daredevil_ into its second season, I could not be happier that Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez are carrying the torch,” DeKnight said in a statement. “They were invaluable collaborators during our first season, and I for one can’t wait to see what they do with the show moving forward.” [_This article originally appeared on EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/04/21/daredevil-renewed-season-2) _Read next:_ [_Rosario Dawson on Being a Hero, Not a Love Interest, in Netflix’s_ ](http://time.com/3774475/rosario-dawson-netflix-daredevil/?iid=time%5Freadnext)[Daredevil](http://time.com/3774475/rosario-dawson-netflix-daredevil/?iid=time%5Freadnext) [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/autoplay/?xid=spl-fullbrief-article) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3831152/netflix-daredevil-marvel-season-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3831152/netflix-daredevil-marvel-season-2/"},"headline":"Netflix Orders Second Season of Marvel's Daredevil","datePublished":"2015-04-22T12:33:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:59:21.453Z","description":"But there's a twist: Showrunner Steven S.
