Daredevil Original Showrunner Responds To New Disney+ Show
Daredevil season 1 showrunner Steven DeKnight reveals whether he would return to the Marvel series, following news of its Disney+ revival. DeKnight served as a producer and showrunner for the first season of the series that was originally produced by Marvel Television and Netflix. The series starred Charlie Cox as the titular blind vigilante on a mission to defend the streets of New York City.
Debuting on Netflix in April 2015, Daredevil introduced Marvel fans to the "Devil of Hell's Kitchen", as blind lawyer Matt Murdock used his remarkable senses to clean out the criminals lurking in the darkened New York streets that escaped the gazes of the more larger-than-life Avengers.
