1. It's mentioned that Matt grew up at St. Agnes' Orphanage. Skye (Daisy Johnson) from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013) also stated that she grew up at St. Agnes' orphanage.
2. Charlie Cox wanted to be involved with the series after reading the first two scripts for the series, telling his agent "These are two of the best television scripts I've read".
3. This series, Jessica Jones (2015), Luke Cage (2016), and Iron Fist (2017) were all proposed to Netflix together, along with the plan to create the crossover The Defenders (2017) mini-series.
4. Charlie Cox stated that this show will be much darker than anything else in the Marvel Cinematic Universe up to this point.
5. Netflix made this show the first to have a descriptive video service. When the fans demanded the descriptive video service be added, Netflix got it completely done in only four days.
6. Claire Temple was originally introduced in 1972 as a supporting character for Luke Cage, then operating under the code-name "Power Man". Her role treating Murdock's wounds refers to the Marvel character "Night Nurse" (actually a female doctor), who runs an underground medical treatment center to secretly treat injured superheroes such as Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Spider-Man. She would appear in Marvel's three other Netflix series and the The Defenders (2017).
7. The series was watched so many times that Netflix actually released the ratings for this show. Netflix never releases ratings.
8. Claire Temple's nickname for Matt, "Mike", harkens to an early run of Daredevil stories where Matt pretended to be his own twin brother, Mike Murdock, who was not blind, to protect his secret identity. Additionally, Matt's middle name is Michael.
9. The black costume that was shown upon reveal takes great inspiration from Frank Miller's Daredevil comic book storyline "The Man Without Fear", which was an alternate retelling of Daredevil's origin in a limited run series.
10. The Marvel Cinematic Universe actually owes its existence to Daredevil (2003). While playing Foggy Nelson in that film, Jon Favreau spoke to Marvel about directing what would eventually become Iron Man (2008), the breakout entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
11. Wilson Fisk (a.k.a. The Kingpin) was originally introduced in the comics in 1967 as a villain against Spider-Man. However, he later became the archenemy of Daredevil, and is introduced as such here. His character is also a recurring adversary for The Punisher, whom he meets in season two.
12. In just a couple of weeks, season one became the second-most pirated show in the world after Game of Thrones (2011).
13. Charlie Cox was honored at the American Foundation for the Blind's 19th Annual Helen Keller Achievement Awards on June 18, 2015 for his performance as the blind superhero Daredevil.
14. Jon Bernthal said he'd have fans walk up to him on the streets of New York City to say "Do not mess this up." in reference to his role as Frank Castle/The Punisher. Bernthal would often walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to the set alone, intent on getting into the character's isolated mindset.
15. Deborah Ann Woll's real-life boyfriend, E.J. Scott, suffers from a disease called Choroideremia that is causing him to go blind. He dressed up as Matt Murdock at the premiere of the show.
16. Although most photos of Daredevil pre-release show him in a generic black outfit, it was confirmed that he would appear in his iconic red outfit toward the end of the first season. According to Marvel Comics' Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada, the final suit was an adaptation of the costume he wore in the 2004 comic arc Secret War (not to be confused with the similarly named 1984 and 2015 "Secret Wars" events), influenced by Kevlar body armor and the rivets and shapes of New York City architecture.
17. The office across the hall from Nelson and Murdock's has a logo on the door of a globe with the name "Atlas Investments". The logo is very similar to the Atlas Comics logo; which is the company that evolved into Marvel Comics.
18. In the original comic book storyline, one of Matt Murdock's habits that supported his moniker "Daredevil", was when doing his patrol, he would jump off of buildings without having mapped out how he was going to land on his feet. He would literally improvise it in midair and did this travelling from rooftop to rooftop.
19. This show, along with other Netflix series Iron Fist (2017), Luke Cage (2016), and Jessica Jones (2015), exist in the same continuity with one another and within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
20. Charlie Cox had never heard of Daredevil prior to being cast. He only found the character was blind the day before his audition.
21. Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page) had not previously read any Daredevil comics, and turned to her fiancé E.J. Scott, who is a huge comic book fan, for guidance.
22. Jon Bernthal made audition tapes together with Tom Holland while filming Pilgrimage (2017), with both actors landing their roles of Frank Castle/The Punisher and Spider-Man (Captain America: Civil War (2016)) respectively.
23. According to Scott Glenn, Stick is in his late nineties, but still has the strength of a man in his twenties.
24. The red and yellow robe used by Battlin' Jack Murdock is reminiscent of Daredevil's original yellow costume in his first appearance. Notably, the limited-run 2001 comic book series Daredevil: Yellow (a modern retelling of several of Daredevil's early adventures) would establish that Matt would create his yellow costume from those robes.
25. Charlie Cox stated in interviews that he never cared much about comics before taking this role, but it got him to start checking them out. Now, he's enough of a fan to be disappointed that Daredevil doesn't play his role from the comics in Captain America: Civil War (2016). Even though in Civil War, it was Danny Rand aka Iron Fist masquerading as Daredevil.
26. Throughout the first season, Fisk is never referred to as "The Kingpin".
27. The first live-action Daredevil adaption to have Matt Murdock/Daredevil be trained under Stick. In the previous live-action Daredevil continuity, Stick only appeared in the disastrous Elektra (2005) spin-off film, in which he had no known connections to Daredevil.
28. The first TV-MA rating for a live-action adaptation of a Marvel comic (which would be the standard for the Marvel Netflix series). Others (The Punisher (2004) and Punisher: War Zone (2008)) have gotten an R-rating . Also the first "Mature" rating in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The title character of the aforementioned "Punisher" films appears in the second season.
29. Charlie Cox performs many of his own basic stunts but the more hazardous ones are choreographed by his stunt double Chris Brewster.
30. Drew Goddard was initially hired to be the show runner for the first season, but had to drop out. Goddard was committed to directing the feature film version of The Sinister Six, which would've conflicted with this series. Steven S. DeKnight took his place.
31. On April 29, 2016, Netflix and Marvel officially confirmed The Punisher (2017) series. Jon Bernthal was confirmed to reprise his role as Frank Castle/The Punisher.
32. In season two, each episode's title is either verbally mentioned or referenced in the previous one.
33. Jason Statham was in negotiations to appear as Bullseye in season two, even though he declined the role.
34. In all of the various Daredevil comics, Matt Murdock has always had striking red hair, unlike the series.
35. Main star of Dexter (2006) Michael C. Hall was rumored for the lead role. He said he would have considered it, but it was nothing but rumors.
36. Back in 1983, ABC had plans for a live-action Daredevil television series. Academy Award winning writer Stirling Silliphant completed the draft of the pilot episode, but it was never aired.
37. Was renewed for a second season on April 21, 2015. It was also announced that Steven S. DeKnight would not return as the main showrunner.
38. Ayelet Zurer, who plays The Kingpin's girlfriend Vanessa has appeared in other comic book properties other than the Daredevil (Marvel) series. She also appeared in Man of Steel (2013) (DC) where she played Superman's Kryptonian mother Lara-El opposite Russell Crowe, who played Jor-El.
39. The Punisher's first appearance in the Daredevil comics was in Issue 181 that was released in 1982 during the Frank Miller run. During Issue 183, he came into conflict with Daredevil regarding a suspect in a two-part storyline. This was also intended by Miller to compare and contrast both vigilante characters, the differences between Daredevil's liberal methods of standing up for justice, versus The Punisher's more conservative and brutal methods in dealing with criminals despite having a few things in common.
40. Jon Bernthal portrayed Frank Castle/The Punisher in season two. This will mark the second time an alum from the AMC series The Walking Dead (2010) (also based off a comic book) will portray the character. Previously, Norman Reedus provided the voice of Castle in the Marvel Anime film Iron Man: Rise of Technovore (2013).
41. Elodie Yung (Elektra) is Cambodian and French; in the comics, Elektra is Greek. The character was briefly mentioned in season one as a college (or law-school) fling of Matt's
42. This marks the first time since The Trial of the Incredible Hulk (1989) that the character of Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin is played by a Caucasian actor (Vincent D'Onofrio). Roscoe Lee Browne voiced him on Spider-Man (1994) and Michael Clarke Duncan played him in Daredevil (2003).
43. Charlie Cox is the first non-American actor to play Matt Murdock/Daredevil in a live-action adaption of the character. Scott Glenn, on the other hand, is the first American actor to play Stick. His predecessor Terence Stamp is English.
44. Vanessa Marianna is an adaptation of The Kingpin's wife in the comics, Vanessa Fisk.
45. Just like Matt Murdock, Charlie Cox was also raised Catholic.
46. Rosario Dawson (Claire Temple) also starred in Sin City (2005) and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014), two other adaptions based on Frank Miller comic series.
47. As of 2016, Jon Bernthal ties Thomas Jane as the shortest Frank Castle ever portrayed (5'10").
48. The character of Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) was originally intended to be the comics character Linda Carter, a.k.a. "Night Nurse". However, Marvel Studios had potential plans for that character. The character as presented here is an amalgam of the comics characters Claire Temple (most often an associate and early love interest of Luke Cage) and Linda Carter (more often associated with Daredevil).
49. One of the ways that this show sets itself apart is in long, continuous (or seemingly continuous) shots, especially for the fight scenes. A prime example is in the episode Daredevil: Cut Man (2015), with a fight scene that runs for nearly five minutes, with the camera weaving back and forth in the action, and no visible shot cuts.
50. Murdock's Catholicism plays a large role in the series, with season one showrunner Steven S. DeKnight calling him "one of the most, if not the most, religious characters in the Marvel Universe".
51. The Boxer that Jack Murdock beats is Carl Creel. In the comics, Creel would later become The Absorbing Man and regularly antagonize the likes of Thor and The Avengers. The character did appear in season two of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013).
52. In the comics, Daredevil knows that Spider-Man is Peter Parker and vice versa (prior to the events of the reality changing-One More Day in the Spider-Man comics and later the Purple storyline from the Daredevil (2016) comics) and is good friends with Deadpool.
53. While on the show, Matt Murdock earned his moniker Daredevil from the newspaper coverage at the end of season one (similar to what happened with Tony Stark at the end of Iron Man (2008)) following his involvement in preventing Fisk's escape, in the comics, he developed it himself based on how the other kids used to treat him poorly due to his handicap.
54. In season two, a newspaper that featured the article "Punisher Punished" has a side article on the new theories behind a lost city. This references K'un L'un, a mystical city visited by Iron Fist.
