Disney recently shared viewership figures for *Daredevil: Born Again*, revealing its first episode drew 7.5 million viewers during a double-episode premiere—a rare move signaling confidence in the series’ performance. While this marks Disney+’s biggest 2025 premiere to date, comparisons with other hits like *Percy Jackson and the Olympians* (13.3M views) and *The Acolyte* (11.1M) highlight mixed results. The show’s MA rating and reliance on prior seasons for context likely limited broader appeal compared to family-friendly MCU entries. Despite not topping charts, Disney greenlit two seasons already, with production underway on the second. Analysts note its lower cost relative to blockbusters like *Secret Invasion* makes it viable, paving the way for more Netflix-era Marvel returns, including a *Punisher* special and hints of *Jessica Jones*. While numbers aren’t record-breaking, the series is deemed a success given its niche audience and strategic positioning within Disney’s expanding MCU slate.
