11 Most Anticipated Comic Book TV Shows Coming In 2018

1. Daredevil Season 3

Matt Murdock The Defenders Reborn
Netflix

While there isn't a firm release date in mind, the hotly anticipated third season of Daredevil should be filling the final third of Marvel's Netflix series this year, releasing in the winter and not the summer.

The Defenders was... mixed, to say the least, but despite its flaws it did leave Matt Murdock in a very interesting place. Presumed dead after his fight with Elektra, it later transpires that the lawyer is alive and well, recovering under the watchful eye of what can only be his mother, Maggie Murdock. The show's second season certainly seemed to indicate that it was taking inspiration from Born Again, starting with Wilson Fisk's vow to destroy Murdock and ending with Maggie watching over Matt in a nearby church come The Defenders.

If that is indeed the case, and we are getting an adaptation of Born Again for the third season, then that makes 2018 an interesting year for the Devil of Hell's Kitchen. Given it's oft considered to be one of the finest Marvel comics ever - and one of the finest the medium's ever seen at that - it's a tricky one to tackle.

If anyone's up for the task however, it's the team behind Daredevil. With Drew Goddard consulting and Erik Oleson joining along for the ride, it's looking increasingly like that 2018 will be the perfect reply to last year, signing it all off with the red and blue hue of Marvel's finest ever comic.
