Unlike season two of the show, Daredevil season three will focus less on setting up future spinoffs.
World building is all the rage in the superhero genre and Daredevil has certainly attempted it over the years, specifically in setting up spinoffs The Punisher and The Defenders in season two.
Season three will be taking a slightly different approach, however, focusing more on Daredevil and the story at hand. This is according to new showrunner Erik Oleson, who spoke on set to Screen Rant:
“I want to fully explore all of the colors of Wilson Fisk this season and at the same time really refocus Matt Murdock and our core group – Matt, Foggy and Karen – on the dynamic between them, and the character journeys of each of those characters this season. I think what some previous seasons did very well is set up other spinoff shows and there was a lot of that, but I’m bringing it back to the core and that I think is, as a Daredevil fan myself, that’s what floats my boat and I think there are a lot of fans like me who are going to really be excited to go back to see the characters that we love and bounce them off one another in surprising ways.”
Oleson is right, there will surely be a lot of fans excited by this news, and looking forward to a standalone story that continues Daredevil’s crusade against Wilson Fisk, without worrying about setting up other shows.
