Daredevil has officially announced when season 3 will return in a new trailer highlighting Matt Murdock’s new dark side.
Netflix has been teasing out the new season of Daredevil with some very dark and ominous trailers lately. It seems the days of old Matt Murdock with his no-killing rules and his desire to be the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen purely to protect his home are over. He’s taking a page out of the Punisher’s book and is looking to finally stop the evil in his neighborhood for good.
In a new trailer we not only get a small taste of this new era of Daredevil, but we also finally get a premiere date for season 3 of the show. The date announcement doesn’t really show us any new footage from the show, and mainly features images of Matt Murdock, alone in a dark room wearing a bloody suit, as his ominous voiceover explains his new philosophy on crime-fighting.
We’re in for what promises to be a truly explosive new season. While many of the specific details of the new season are still largely being kept a secret, we are sure of one thing: with season 3 promising the return of Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk–the kingpin Matt had managed to lock behind bars at the end of season 1–this season of Daredevil will be unlike any we’ve seen before.
Of course, there are some folks who are a bit less than enthused about this new age of “dark Matt.” Namely, his fellow Defenders. On the official Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist Twitter accounts, the heroes took the time to poke some fun at (and offer a small warning to) Matt and his new outlook on life.
Unsurprisingly, the Iron Fist Twitter issued the warning against letting the Devil take him over.
Don’t let the devil take you over. https://t.co/T0jmAUjKcL

However, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage decided to take the humorous approach and did what all good friends do: they made fun of him. Luke promised to offer Matt exactly one hug, and Jessica issued a Tweet so full of sarcasm you could practically feel her rolling her eyes.
Alright, man. I’m willing to give you one hug. That’s it. https://t.co/HHaytlEepy

Regardless of the opinions of the other Defenders, Matt Murdock is changing his ways significantly in Daredevil season 3. Who knows what the future holds for Matt Murdock as he fully unleashes the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, but we know one thing for sure: It’s going to be a hell of a season.
Even better, we don’t have to wait long for its premiere. Daredevil season 3 premieres only on Netflix October 19.
