No Season 4 for the veteran superhero series.
November 29, 2018
Netflix cut back its superhero fare further today, cancelling Daredevil after three seasons. The somewhat surprising move comes the month after fellow Marvel entries Luke Cage and Iron Fist were also axed at the streaming service.
The reasons behind the recent cancellations are unknown, but appears clear that Netflix is making a visible effort to pare down on its Marvel-related original content. Moving forward, just two active series remain from the comic imprint: Jessica Jones and The Punisher. It is not clear if the Daredevil character will make any appearances in either of the other shows' upcoming seasons, but a statement from the streamer mentioned that the character will live on in future projects for Marvel.
Daredevil premiered back in 2015 as the first Marvel superhero series on the streaming service. It was an immediate hit, with critics and audiences alike praising its gritty atmosphere, engaging story, and exciting action. Its success paved the way for the four aforementioned series, with each earning multiple seasons of their own.
Daredevil followed attorney Matt Murdock, who was blinded as a boy in a tragic accident that also left him with extraordinary senses. Now with his law practice setup in his old New York neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, Matt works as a respected lawyer by day and assumes the identity of the masked vigilante known as Daredevil at night.

I enjoyed much 1st/2nd season of Daredevil waiting forever for next season.
But when they released Punisher which also was on top to watch, it came out i have Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Defenders to catch up to be on same page...
Well, managed to watch 1st season of Jessica and Luke Cage meanwhile and it seems it got pointless to watch all of those to finish with cancelled productions;/
Simply too much Netflix. Less series would be better in this particual situation i guess and now perfect show like Daredevil got lost in all of those marvel tv series.
Actually i lost interest in same way to cinema Marvel productions. Who the hell is Black pantheror Dr strange... while i wanted old buddies on screen.
The third season was actually really, really good. Good enough that I had a viewing party and a room full of people were enjoying it so much they went home and signed up for netflix.
Networks make weird ass decisions all for profit, like scyfylous cancelling The Expanse. I really hoped these independent companies like netflix wouldn’t make the same stupid mistakes.
I disagree. If they have no interest in bringing on the Netflix shows, then they would have no concern if they continued or not since they aren't bringing those programs to their streaming service. By your logic, then every Marvel show that's currently running will be cancelled.
I get what your trying to say but I can get Hostess Cupcakes at either Walmart or Publix and there's still Hostess stores.
There's news that the streaming service wants nothing to do with these Netflix shows, but seems more to do with the disconnect between Marvel TV and the MCU. Which to me is completely stupid but it is what it is.
It's not.
