Erik Oleson is the New DAREDEVIL Showrunner; Vincent D'Onofrio Returns for Season 3
Marvel’s Daredevil will see a familiar face return and a new boss take over behind the camera for Season 3.
Vincent D’Onofrio has been set to reprise as Wilson Fisk for the third season of
Daredevil, Deadline has learned. As the Kingpin crime lord, the Emmy nominee was the main villain in Season 1 of the Netflix series and made an imprisoned appearance in last year’s Season 2. The ex-
Law & Order actor hinted to fans recently that official word on his
Daredevil return was in the cards with a banner photo of the Fisk character up
on his Twitter page
In Addition to D’Onofrio’s return, Erik Oleson will be taking over as showrunner as things gear up on the New York City set of the Charlie Cox-led series
. Marvel and Netflix haven’t announced a launch date for
Daredevil‘sSeason 3 — nor for
Jessica Jones or
Luke Cage’s second seasons for that matter.
Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez were showrunners for Season 2 of
Daredevil, with both moving on to handle the same duties on Marvel’s
The Defenders. Petrie exited that production early on, while Ramirez saw the Daredevil-Jessica Jones-Iron Fist-Luke Cage team-up through to its eight-episode launch August 17.
Despite high hopes from some fans, D’Onofrio’s Fisk was not a part of
The Defenders as Sigourney Weaver played the main antagonist on that project.
Oleson, most recently an executive producer and writer on Amazon’s
The Man in the High Castle, more than made his superhero bones from spending a season and more as a co-EP on the CW’s
Arrow.
