While no official release date has been announced, filming commencing in March 2025 hints at a potential premiere in March/April 2026.
Perhaps a teaser for Season 2 could be shown at the San Diego Comic-Con in July or at D23 in August.

Crossover possibilities
'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2: Crossovers and rights issues
In a recent interview, D'Onofrio discussed the possibility of Kingpin appearing in MCU movies or Spider-Man 4. He said it would be "very hard" considering ownership and rights issues.
