Worst-performing Disney+ show from Marvel revealed

Marvel had a lot of success with their transition into television through Disney Plus, with hits like WandaVision and Loki grabbing the spotlight. However, not every Marvel series has been a smash hit, and Daredevil: Born Again is the latest example. This gritty show failed to make the Nielsen Top 10 Original Streaming Shows list during its run, marking a surprising first for a live-action MCU series.

Despite early critical acclaim and a loyal fan base, Daredevil: Born Again struggled to gain the momentum needed to break into the top rankings. Some have speculated that the show’s R rating may have limited its appeal to younger viewers and impacted its overall viewership. However, other R-rated Marvel projects like Echo managed to secure a spot in the top 10, suggesting that competition and timing may have also played a role.

Daredevil: Born Again did have a solid start, attracting 7.5 million views in its first five days. While this was a strong opening, it wasn’t enough to maintain the buzz needed to climb the rankings. Compared to other Disney Plus series like Agatha All Along, Daredevil fell short in terms of building momentum and viewer engagement.

Despite its struggles, there is a silver lining for Daredevil fans. The show has been renewed for a second season and is currently in production. Marvel has also expressed satisfaction with the show’s performance, noting that it helped boost viewership for the original Marvel Netflix shows that made the move to Disney Plus. So, while Daredevil may not have cracked the top 10 this time around, the future looks promising for this gritty superhero series.
