On Wednesday, January 7, Marvel announced that fans can now watch the series exclusively on Netflix this April 10. The first season of the show will be composed of 13 one-hour episodes.

Marvel also took the time to unveil the new poster for its first original series on Netflix. The poster also has its motion version. Here it is:

"Marvel's Daredevil" is about the journey of blind lawyer Matt Murdock, who turns into superhero Daredevil in Hell's Kitchen, New York City by night. "Stardust" actor Charlie Cox plays the lead role. He is joined by Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple, and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk. Also in the cast list are Vondie Curtis Hall as Ben Ulrich, Scott Glenn as Stick, Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Marianna, Bob Gunton and Leland Owlsey, and Toby Leonard Moore as Wesley. Listed as executive producers are Steven S. DeKnight, Drew Goddard, and Jeph Loeb. Goddard is also credited as the writer of the series' first two episodes.

Cinema Blend's Kelly West says that they were expecting the series to arrive around May but it was pushed to an earlier date. As there are only a few months before its release, fans can also expect a trailer for the series to arrive soon.

Netflix also announced the other premiere dates for other new series. This includes "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" which airs March 6, "Bloodline" on March 20, and "Grace and Frankie" on May 8.

Marvel chief creative officer Joe Quesada earlier defended their plan to show "Daredevil" on Netflix.

"You can't deny that there will be binge-viewing. You know that there are going to be some Marvel fans that when this show premieres, they are going to go on to Netflix, and they are going to sit there for 12 to 13-plus hours, and watch the entire thing all the way through. It's going to happen. The Netflix model offers us the advantage of being able to construct the show in a manner that is very different than a weekly network TV show," Quesada was quoted as saying in Comic Book Resources' report.

He also pointed out what they will offer in this new series. He said, "We're going into the show trying to create something that's incredibly exciting, incredibly engaging, and will give our fans something that they love, something that's unexpected, something that's going to keep them coming back for more. That's really, ultimately, the goal of this: How do we produce a "Daredevil" TV show on Netflix, that's going to be viewed the way that people view content on Netflix, in a way that's going to be compelling, feels unique, while bringing something that is not only true to the character, but providing something unexpected as well."
