How to Get Cast in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3

Daredevil: Born Again brought Matt Murdock back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it worked. Season 1 premiered on Disney+ in March 2025, Season 2 premiered March 24, 2026, and Marvel confirmed Season 3 — with filming set to begin in early 2026 and an expected release around March 2027. That’s a production ramping up right now, which means casting is happening right now.

If you want to be part of it, here’s the real breakdown: who casts the show, what they’re looking for, and the exact steps to put yourself in the mix.

What Is Daredevil: Born Again?

Daredevil: Born Again is Marvel Television’s revival of the blind lawyer-turned-vigilante, with Charlie Cox returning as Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio back as Wilson Fisk — D’Onofrio also serves as an executive producer on the series. The show is run by showrunner Dario Scardapane alongside Chris Ord and Matt Corman, and it’s filmed in New York City, which gives it a grounded, street-level texture that’s very different from the cosmic side of the MCU.

The cast around Cox and D’Onofrio is stacked: Deborah Ann Woll returned as Karen Page, Wilson Bethel as Bullseye, Margarita Levieva, Krysten Ritter, Matthew Lillard, and Ayelet Zurer all feature across the revival. Season 3 continues the story with the show’s established creative team, and a third season of a hit Marvel series means one thing for actors: recurring guest roles, new villains and allies, and a steady stream of background work across a long New York shoot.

Meet the Casting Directors: Beth Bowling & Kim Miscia

The series casting directors for Daredevil: Born Again are Beth Bowling and Kim Miscia, credited as series casting for Seasons 1 and 2 — and they’re the team steering casting into Season 3. Both are veteran New York casting directors with deep roots in exactly this kind of material: grounded, character-driven, physically demanding television.

Bowling and Miscia work as a team, which is worth understanding. When two casting directors share a credit, it usually means a high-volume operation — they’re splitting the load of a massive production that needs principals, guest stars, co-stars, stunt performers, and hundreds of background actors across months of shooting. That’s good news for you. High-volume casting offices see more actors, hold more sessions, and create more opportunities than boutique operations.

Their track record on the show speaks to their taste: the Born Again ensemble blends returning favorites with sharp new additions, and the casting has been one of the most praised elements of the revival. They cast actors, not types — the show’s villains, lawyers, cops, and civilians all feel like real New Yorkers because the casting directors know what real New Yorkers look and sound like.

What Kinds of Roles They Cast

A New York-based Marvel series like this casts across every tier:

• Recurring guest stars — Season 3 will introduce new characters: allies, adversaries, legal-world figures, criminal underworld players. These roles go through agents and are cast by Bowling and Miscia directly.
• Co-stars — one-episode speaking roles: cops, lawyers, reporters, EMTs, bodega owners, courtroom personnel. This is the sweet spot for working New York actors. Co-star roles on Born Again are cast through agent submissions and, for some roles, direct submissions.
• Stunt performers — Daredevil is a fight show. The hallway fights, rooftop chases, and street brawls need skilled stunt performers, fight doubles, and utility players. If you have legitimate fight training, this show is one of the best stunt employers in television.
• Background actors — courtrooms, police precincts, Hell’s Kitchen streets, gala events, hospital corridors. A season of Born Again hires hundreds of background actors, and New York extras casting companies post these breakdowns constantly during production.
• Stand-ins and photo doubles — long-running series need reliable stand-ins. If you match the height and build of a series regular, stand-in work is steady, well-paid, and keeps you on set with the main unit.

How to Get Cast in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3: Step by Step

Step 1: Build a profile that shows you’re a New York actor

This show shoots in New York and casts like it. Your profile should make your local-hire status obvious — casting needs to know you’re available in NYC without travel complications. List your borough, your availability, and any local credits. Get your profile live at Project Casting with current headshots and a reel.

Step 2: Get headshots that match the show’s world

Born Again is gritty and grounded. Your headshots should be too. Clean, natural, minimal retouching — the kind of photo where a casting director can picture you as a detective, a public defender, or a guy behind the counter at a Hell’s Kitchen deli. If you’re targeting background work, include a full-body shot. Extras casting for cop shows and courtroom scenes filters heavily on look and build.

Step 3: Work the agent channel — and the direct channel

Speaking roles on a Marvel Disney+ series go through agents first. If you’re repped in New York, make sure your agent knows you want in on Born Again Season 3 specifically — agents submit to breakdowns they know their clients want. If you’re unrepped, focus on what you can control: co-star and background breakdowns posted by casting vendors, self-submission platforms, and open calls. Plenty of co-star roles on New York procedurals and Marvel shows go to unrepped actors who submitted directly and nailed the tape.

Step 4: Target the background casting pipeline

During production, New York extras casting companies post Born Again background breakdowns regularly — courtroom audiences, police officers, reporters, pedestrians, gala attendees. Register with the major NYC extras agencies, keep your sizes and availability current, and respond fast. Background casting moves on hours, not days. Reliable background actors who take direction well get requested back by ADs, and “requested back” is how background work turns into a steady income.

Step 5: If you fight, say so loudly

Stunt casting for this show is a real lane. Legitimate training — martial arts, boxing, gymnastics, parkour, stage combat with verifiable credits — belongs at the top of your profile and on a dedicated stunt reel. The stunt coordinator’s team hires performers they trust, and trust is built through stunt-specific channels, not general submissions.

Step 6: Tape like you’re already on the show

If you land an audition for a co-star or guest role, calibrate to the show. Born Again plays at a simmer, not a boil — even the villains are controlled. Watch a few episodes and match the show’s naturalism. Tape clean: simple background, strong sound, no gimmicks. Bowling and Miscia cast working actors who feel real on camera, so give them a real person, not a performance of a tough guy.

Realistic Tips for This Casting Office

• Be a New Yorker on paper and on tape. Local hire status matters enormously for co-star and background roles. If you live in the tri-state area, make it unmissable.
• Courtroom and cop-show credits help. If you’ve done a procedural — any procedural — it’s on your resume near the top. This office casts that world constantly.
• Don’t play “Marvel.” Play the scene. The show works because the characters feel human. Auditions that feel like superhero cartoons get passed over.
• Keep your special skills current. Driver’s license, firearms training (legitimate, certified), legal or medical background knowledge, languages — all of it gets used on this show.
• Stay ready during the shoot. Season 3 films in early 2026 through the year. Breakdowns drop with short turnarounds. If your materials aren’t ready before production starts, you’ll miss the wave.
• Never pay to audition. Real casting for Born Again — through Bowling and Miscia’s office, through agents, through extras companies — never charges actors. Fee-for-audition is always a scam.
