It's time to let the devil out. What time will Daredevil Season 3 be on Netflix? New episodes arrive at 3:01 a.m. EDT on Friday, Oct. 19. For folks out West, that's 12:01 a.m. PDT. Here's what we know about Season 3 so far:
Who's the villain?
Well, there's two. First and foremost is Wilson Fisk, who debuted in Daredevil Season 1 as the criminal mastermind of New York City. Nelson & Murdock put him away, but then Frank Castle came into the picture. Fisk helped Castle escape from jail, and Matt Murdock wasn't happy about it. Fisk and Matt's last meeting didn't go so well; he told Fisk that he'd make sure he never saw Vanessa (Fisk's fiance he's obsessed with), then Fisk slammed Matt's face into the table.
Next is Benjamin Poindexter, a.k.a. Bullseye. According to the Season 3 trailers, he is an associate of Wilson Fisk. Footage shows Bullseye (played by Wilson Bethel) dressed in Daredevil's signature costume. The two go head-to-head and Bullseye gets the best of Matt.
New Cast?
Aside from Bethel's Bullseye, Joanne Whalley, who revealed she's never read a comic book in her life at New York Comic Con earlier this month, will play Sister Maggie, ironically a very famous character from one of Daredevil's most famous comic book storylines (read about that here).
"I don't know who anyone is dressed up as today. But I have to say, I had the most wonderful experience," Whalley said at NYCC. "I've never been on a job where every member of the cast and crew was so excited to see each script come out; The amount of joy every time we had a new one."
There's also FBI agent Ray Nadeem, played by Jay Ali of The Fosters. He's technically a coworker of Poindexter's Bullseye, and footage at NYCC revealed they are both assigned to the Fisk case. Not much is known about Nadeem, except he's commitment to the right side of the law seems admirable. Let's see how that goes with Bullseye, Fisk and Daredevil coming into his life. Good luck, bro.
The latest synopsis?
Missing for months, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) reemerges a broken man, putting into question his future as both vigilante Daredevil and lawyer Matthew Murdock. But when his archenemy Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) is released from prison, Matt must choose between hiding from the world or embracing his destiny as a hero.
