Will Daredevil's New Show Be Disney+'s First TV-MA Release?
Daredevil is getting a revival on Disney+, and with it comes the question of whether it will be the first new show on the streaming service to be rated TV-MA. Disney+ added parental controls for Daredevil seasons 1-3 and the rest of the Netflix Marvel shows when they arrived on the platform, so the idea of TV-MA marvel content on the streaming service isn't new. However, these were existing shows, as opposed to the MCU creating more adult, graphic content specifically for Disney+, which is an altogether different and bigger step.
While the MCU was growing its brand at the multiplex, Netflix built a Marvel annex on television aimed at a more mature audience. Along with Daredevil, the TV-MA-rated series Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Punisher, as well as the team-up show The Defenders, were brought to brutal life. The impending arrival of Disney+, however, meant that these shows were canceled to bring their characters under the Disney umbrella. For a while, it was unclear whether the characters would be rebooted or not. When Charlie Cox made a welcome return as Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home, hope was kindled that Daredevil at least would get a second chance on Disney+. This has now come to pass and seems to be a revival of the Netflix show as a proper Daredevil season 4. What isn’t known yet is its rating or how Disney+ will approach the violence inherent in the world of Daredevil for the family-friendly service.
