Well that was fast. Netflix has just ordered a second season of “Marvel’s Daredevil” set to premiere sometime in 2016. After the critical acclaim received by season one this should come as no surprise, and given the recent boom in superhero genre TV, it’s a safe bet. The renewal notice does come with it’s own set of changes, though. The press releases sent out today confirmed a second season premiere in 2016. Doug Petrie (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, American Horror Story) and Marco Ramirez (Sons of Anarchy), who worked closely with Steven DeKnight and Drew Goddard, will serve as show runners for season two.
Ramirez, Petrie, Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) and Jeph Loeb (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) are executive producers. Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios will produce for Netflix.
