  • The new season is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, with eight episodes dropping Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
  • Rotten Tomatoes scores opened in the mid‑90s from critics with a high‑90s audience rating, surpassing Season 1 and trailing only Ms. Marvel among MCU shows reported by outlets tracking the aggregator.
  • Critics describe a sharper, bloodier focus on Matt Murdock’s fight against Mayor Wilson Fisk’s anti‑vigilante crackdown, returning the series to a street‑level crime saga.
  • The cast features the returns of Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye and Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, and adds Matthew Lillard as Mr. Charles, a new figure with ties to broader MCU power players.
