Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ Still Dominating Streaming—Earning Millions for Disney+ Years After Ending

Marvel’s Daredevil may have ended in 2018, but the show continues to bring in huge numbers for streaming platforms. With Charlie Cox returning as the character in Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+, a recent analysis by Parrot Analytics shows just how valuable the original series has been.

Originally airing on Netflix from 2015 to 2018, Daredevil built a loyal fanbase with its gritty action, strong storytelling, and even stronger performances. Even though no new episodes have been released in years, the show has continued to attract viewers and generate significant revenue. From 2020 to 2024, Daredevil brought in nearly $290 million in subscriber revenue for both Netflix and Disney+.

Here’s how the numbers break down:

• Netflix earned $152 million from Daredevil between 2020 and 2022.
• Disney+ earned $138 million from 2022 to 2024 after acquiring the show.

It’s important to note that these numbers do not include revenue from the show’s original run (2015-2018), meaning its total impact is likely even higher.

Few shows maintain their popularity years after ending, but Daredevil has remained a strong performer. This is thanks to several key factors such as a loyal fanbase, the fact that Matt has already been introduced to the MCU already, and the fact that fans often praise the older show as one of the best superhero series ever made.

The upcoming Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again will likely boost Daredevil’s popularity even more. Whenever Marvel reintroduces a character in a new project, older content often sees a rise in viewership.

Disney+ will likely benefit through new subscribers and through already existing subscribers who decided to revisit the show.

Daredevil’s long-term success proves that great storytelling stands the test of time. Even without new episodes for years, the show continues to perform well.
