DAREDEVIL Season 3 Adds WILLOW Actress Joanne Whalley As Sister Maggie - Matt Murdock's Mother

In the final moments of The Defenders, it was revealed that Daredevil has survived his encounter with The Hand and was being nursed back to health in a convent. This led to speculation that the third season of The Man Without Fear's solo series would adapt Frank Miller's "Born Again" comic arc, and this latest bit of casting news may just confirm it.

Deadline reports that Joanne Whalley will play "the steel spined Sister Maggie," who will attempt to get Matt Murdock back in fighting form when the show returns. The fact that she also happens to be his mother should make things very interesting indeed.

Most recently, Whalley has appeared in the likes of Wolf Hall and Gossip Girl, but fans of Ron Howard's 1988 fantasy adventure Willow will probably know her best as Sorsha.

Daredevil season 3 doesn't have an official premiere date yet, but we do know that Erik Oleson will be taking over as showrunner.

@MasterMix - LOL! I just watched that film last week! And that was NO way to treat these men who were on a "mission from God"!

@Doomsday8888 - Fall 2018 most likely

JJ S2 in March, LC S2 in the summer, and DD S3 probably in November. And if I had to guess about 2019, we'll have IF S2 in March and The Punisher S2 in either the summer or fall.

I guessed that she would appear in this season.

Maybe this season could have some commentary on the church's dying influence in the US.

Lin Shaye better to be Matt's mother.

@Repian - Maggie was very young when she got pregnant, so casting an actress in her 50s works.

But Shaye would be a perfect choice just for the acting alone.

Hopefully this season surprises me and gets back on track. Season 2 had some great stuff with Punisher................however, after like 2 or 3 episodes of Elektra's story, the show gets tedious, convoluted, and very underwhelming. Season 2's whole finale was just bleeehh. Hopefully getting back to gritty street crime with the catholic themes will remind me why I love this character.
