Marvel announced on Tuesday that Netflix’s Daredevil has been renewed for a second season. Steven S. DeKnight, showrunner of the first season, will hand over the reigns to Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez.
Petrie, just like DeKnight, is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum. While DeKnight joined Buffy for its sixth season before moving on to Angel, Petrie began in the third season and continued till its conclusion

DeKnight stated in a Marvel press release that previous commitments prevent him from running Season 2, and also said, “I could not be happier that Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez are carrying the torch. They were invaluable collaborators during our first season, and I for one can’t wait to see what they do with the show moving forward.”


They list some pretty awesome Buffy moments Petrie was behind, so Daredevil fans, buckle down cause this might get epic😉

Second Season! 🙂

With Doug Petrie! 😀

This is great, I'm so pleased. Daredevil was great- gritty and human but with a nice bit of humour in some places. Doug is one of my favourite Buffy writers (he was a big Fuffy supporter) and really knew how to write a great dramatic scene with tons of tension.

I also think Doug is on record as saying that he always thought of Faith as a little bit like Daredevil's Elektra...

Did you click the link? Cause there's some "Fuffy" gifs there 😉 (well, there's a certain dance scene at least...)

Will have to check this out based on the positive reviews I have heard and having Petrie involved is exciting, clearly he wrote some of the most iconic stuff on Buffy🙂
