You'll get more Night Nurse in Daredevil season 2, as Rosario Dawson will return for more Marvel Universe adventures on Netflix.
To absolutely nobody's surprise, the wildy acclaimed DaredevilNetflix series is getting a second season. Make this article your destination for all your Netflix Daredevilseason 2 news!
The Latest News
Rosario Dawson will return as Claire Temple (Night Nurse?) for Daredevilseason 2.
“After working with Rosario in the first season, we knew instantly that we had to have her back for our second,” said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel TV Jeph Loeb in a statement from Marvel. “Claire Temple proved a fan favorite in Season 1, and we can’t wait for fans to see all the plans we have for her next.”
As part of the deal, Ms. Dawson will also appear in "any" of the Marvel Netflix series. So Night Nurse could also show up in AKA Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders.
Daredevil Season 2 Release Date
Production on Daredevilseason 2 will begin later in 2015, and Charlie Cox promises (in an interview with Empire) we won't have to wait too long to see it:
“It’ll be the same timeline as the last show, so season two will come out about this time next year. Again, I’m imagining all this, but they’ll probably do Iron Fist or Luke Cage at the same time, followed by the other one [of the two] in the first half of 2016 and then maybe Defenders in the second half of 2016 or the beginning of 2017.”
The Defenders in the second half of 2016 seems a little ambitious, but he totally admits that this is just speculation.
Daredevil Season 2 New Characters
As for what other characters we might see:
“Based on the show we’ve created, which is very grounded in reality, I’d like to see Punisher maybe show up, a little bit of Elektra maybe. I wouldn’t mind Black Widow making an appearance, and you can’t think about Daredevil for too long without thinking of Bullseye. I don’t know when or if or how that would happen, but it’d be cool if it did."
This isn't the first time we've heard the Punisher's name mentioned in connection with this show, and I'll bet good money that we get both Elektra AND Bullseye in Daredevil season two. We'll keep an eye out for official announcements, too.

Daredevil Season 2 Production
Showrunner Steven S. DeKnight won't be back for Daredevilseason two, unfortunately. Doug Petrie (American Horror Story) and Marco Ramirez (Sons of Anarchy) will fulfill that role. Jeph Loeb will also return as an executive producer.
“While previous commitments unfortunately prevent me from continuing on with Daredevil into its second season," DeKnight said in a statement, "I could not be happier that Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez are carrying the torch. They were invaluable collaborators during our first season, and I for one can't wait to see what they do with the show moving forward."
The good news, though, is that we don't have to wait for the entire sequence of Marvel Netflix shows to run their course before we get more Daredevil. We can expect Daredevilseason two in 2016. Along with this announcement, Marvel confirmed that we'll see AKA Jessica Jones before the end of 2015, and that Luke Cagewill arrive in 2016. Still no word on Iron Fist, and The Defenders is even further off, for obvious reasons.
We'll have more on Daredevilseason two as we get it.
