There has been much speculation amongst fans of the Daredevil series regarding Disney’s decision to cancel the show, with many believing it to be a move to avoid paying the original cast and crew. The showrunner has responded to these claims, stating that while the rebranding of a show is a tactic used to reset contracts and avoid residuals, it doesn’t fully apply in this situation. The legal restrictions and time that has passed since the cancelation mean that a complete reboot is necessary, which Disney cannot simply rename and start fresh without consequences.
It’s important to note that the cancelation of Daredevil was a joint decision between Netflix and Disney. While the contracts for the cast and crew had a two-year retainer, once Netflix canceled the show, they legally could not bring back the same cast and crew or use their previous work. This effectively meant that all their ideas and plans became irrelevant, so a complete reboot was necessary. It could be argued that Disney could have chosen to pay for the old scripts and continue as Season 4, but they made the decision not to.
While the concept of rebranding a show to avoid paying residuals is not new, it doesn’t fully apply to the situation surrounding the cancelation of Daredevil. Both Netflix and Disney share some responsibility, and with the legal restrictions and time that has passed, a complete reboot of the show is necessary. Fans may be disappointed that the original cast and crew are not returning, but it’s important to respect the legal and contractual limitations surrounding the situation.
