We’ve got the only resource you need before you dive into what’s sure to be a dark season for the Man Without Fear.
Matt Murdock has taken his share of lumps before, but he’s never been down as far as he is at the beginning of Daredevil season 3. Left for dead at the end of The Defenders, he’s facing a long battle to rebuild himself physically, emotionally and even spiritually, one that won’t be any easier considering that Karen Page and Foggy Nelson also think he’s really gone.
At the same time, Wilson Fisk is stirring, making a power move to reclaim his power. And Bullseye is waiting sometime this season too …
If that doesn’t get you pumped for the return of the original Marvel Netflix hero, there’s probably nothing that will. The advance buzz on the 13 new episodes coming our way is already quite good, and with new showrunner Erik Oleson and new cast additions like Joanne Whaley, Wilson Bethel and Jay Ali on hand, there should be plenty of new energy to go with the returning characters who have already won over tons of fans through two seasons.
We’ll have plenty of Daredevil coverage on FanSided.com over the next few weeks, but we also like to make it as easy as possible to find some of the information you’ll want to have on hand before and during your binge (or if you watch the episodes slowly, that’s cool too). With that in mind, we’ve got all 13 episode titles and synopses below, and we’ll link to our recap of each one as we post them. That way you’ll always be able to see where you are and what’s to come or read what you need to catch up or keep plot points fresh in your mind.
