Daredevil Watch Order How To Watch Daredevil And The Defenders Saga In Order
Complete Daredevil Watch Order
When Marvel shows were being aired on Netflix, Daredevil Season 1 was the first chapter of the Defenders saga. Following its release, Jessica Jones was released, introducing Luke Cage, who later got his standalone series, followed by the introduction of The Punisher in Daredevil Season 2, as well as the release of Iron Fist.
Considering the number of shows before the release of Defenders and further seasons of the previously released show, below you can find a list featuring the complete watch order of the Daredevil saga.
Daredevil Watch Order
Daredevil Season 1 (10 April 2015) Jessica Jones Season 1 (20 November 2015) Daredevil Season 2 (18 March 2016) Luke Cage Season 1 (30 September 2016) Iron Fist Season 1 (17 March 2017) The Defenders Season 1 (18 August 2017) The Punisher Season 1 (17 November 2017) Jessica Jones Season 2 (8 March 2018) Luke Cage Season 2 ( 22 June 2018) Iron Fist Season 2 ( 7 September 2018) Daredevil Season 3 (19 October 2018) The Punisher Season 2 (18 January 2019) Jessica Jones Season 3 (14 June 2019) Daredevil: Born Again (4 March 2025)
Now I know the number of shows here is massive, and it’s kind of impossible to binge all of this before the Daredevil: Born Again release date. However, the silver lining here is that watching all of the above-mentioned shows is not strictly necessary before you jump in on the premiere of Daredevil: Born Again. As long as you are fluent about everything that went down in all three seasons of Daredevil (2015), you are quite sorted for the upcoming show. If you are not, check out our detailed piece on what happens at the end of Daredevil Season 3.
The only condition where it would be necessary is if you want to learn about all the characters involved in the lore of Daredevil. Daredevil Season 1 introduces us to Jessica Jones, the first season of Jessica Jones introduces us to Luke Cage, and Punisher Season 2 introduces us to The Punisher. However, if nothing else, I would recommend you to watch The Defenders since it is the best in this list after Daredevil and The Punisher.
Should You Watch The Punisher Before Daredevil Born Again?
The simple answer to that question is no, you don’t necessarily have to watch The Punisher before Daredevil: Born Again. Jon Bernthal was introduced to us as The Punisher in Daredevil Season 2, and everything he did in the series is enough to understand his motivations and the dynamic he shares with Daredevil/Matt Murdock.
However, if you seek a deeper understanding of the character, only in that case should you watch The Punisher. Nevertheless, if you do decide to watch it, let me assure you that it will be worth your time.
So, if you want to dive into the lore of Daredevil and everything around him, it’s high time for you to get your binge on while we wait for the release of Daredevil: Born Again, and till then, stay tuned for more updates.
