Marvel's "Daredevil Born Again" Shuts Down Production Again by Writers Strike

Marvel's highly-anticipated TV series "Daredevil: Born Again" has been disrupted once again by the WGA strike.

Sources told Deadline that filming has been shut down on Monday. The new season was set to shoot at its New York home base of Silvercup East, which has been a main picketing location for WGA picketers. 

Production on the revival was previously shut down by sunrise picketing outside of Silvercup East on May 8 when members of the Teamster Local 817 and IATSE Locals 829 and 52 refused to cross the line. It was then suspended for the rest of the week.

"Daredevil: Born Again" has been filming in and around New York, and is three months into an eight-month shoot on an 18-episode new season for Disney+.

Written and executive produced by Matt Corman and Chris Ord, who cannot be on set due to the strike, the new installment centers on Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, otherwise known as Matt Murdock, an attorney by day and crimefighter by night. Vince D’Onofrio reprises his role as mob boss Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin.

Other main cast members include Margarita Levieva, Sandrine Holt, Michael Gandolfini, Arty Froushan, and Nikki M. James. Jon Bernthal’s Punisher also is reprising his role.

This is the latest New York-based TV production to be disrupted by picketing writers. It joins Billions, Evil, and Severance, among others.
