A date for Netflix’s new version of Daredevil has been announced, with the series premièring on the 10th April. Daredevil is possibly my favourite of the Marvel superheroes, with the long series of Frank Miller issues living long in the memory. The first attempt to create the character on the big screen was the truly awful Ben Affleck/ Jennifer Garner/ Colin Farrell creation from 2003. We can only live in hope that this is considerably better. Full details  of the new show are below.

Season one of MARVEL’S DAREDEVIL will premiere with thirteen (13) one-hour episodes on April 10, 2015  (8am Irish time) in all territories where Netflix is available.

·         Synopsis: Blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) fights against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the Super Hero “Daredevil” in modern day Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.
