If you’ve already binge-watched Netflix’s Daredevil and Jessica Jones series, here’s the good news you’ve been waiting for: Season 2 of Daredevil is nearly here.

The Netflix original series comes from the streaming service’s collaboration with Marvel Comics, following several ‘gritty’ superheroes in Hell’s Kitchen, New York.

The first series of Daredevil rebooted the origin story of the blind vigilante, while Jessica Jones Season 1 featured crossovers between the shows, which co-exist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Now in Season 2, Daredevil looks to be going even bigger than before – as well as featuring the fully suited-up Matt Murdock, who got his iconic costume in the Season 1 finale, the new run is bringing in more well-loved Marvel characters.

Joining the cast is Jon Bernthal, best known for playing the troubled Shane in the Walking Dead, as Frank Castle, aka the Punisher. In the first Season 2 images, it seems that the anti-heroic Castle will be an antagonist for Daredevil.

Also entering the show is Elodie Yung as Elektra, who is likely to bring the action and the romance for Murdock if the series follows the comics.

Daredevil Season 2 is expected to arrive in full on Netflix in March 2016.
