The Man Without Fear is back, and he has brought a killer playlist with him. Daredevil: Born Again season two premiered on Disney+ on March 24, 2026, with new episodes arriving weekly thereafter. The season follows Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) as Mayor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) crushes the city under his thumb, hunting down vigilantes while the man behind the horned mask fights from the shadows. The music accompanying this brutal chapter ranges from classic soul ballads to Billy Joel. Here is your complete guide to every song featured in Daredevil: Born Again season two.
Who Composed the Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Score
The score for season 2 is once again handled by The Newton Brothers, the duo composed of John Andrew Grush and Taylor Newton Stewart. The pair are known for their work on *X-Men ’97*, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and numerous Mike Flanagan projects including Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher.
The Newton Brothers have crafted a dark, atmospheric sound that honors the legacy of the original Netflix series while pushing the character into new emotional territory. Their original score has been released in two volumes. Volume 1, covering episodes 1 through 4, dropped digitally on April 7, 2026. Volume 2, featuring music from episodes 5 through 8, was released on May 5, 2026. Both albums are available on all major streaming platforms.
