“It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season,” DeKnight wrote on X/Twitter. “Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!”
Unchecked corporate greed continues… Support the writes and actors! ✊
I’m willing to make an exceptionfor those that work for Disney
Isn’t Disney one of the biggest media conglomerates now?
STOP. SIGNING. CONTRACTS. WITH. DISNEY
Also: please for the love of god stop buying media associated with disney, just pirate it
Or just don't watch it all. If its not worthy your money, its probably shouldn't be worth your time.
I thought his inclusion in She-Hulk was fun, and it was nice to see a more lighthearted take on the character. Having said that, though, I hope the tone of the Disney series is mostly like the original.
Tbf daredevil has never been lighthearted
Wait until you see…MCU Daredevil haha
They mention that it is “an old Disney scam”, are there other examples of this? I can’t think of any but I’m curious to know how those other examples played out.
The suite life of Zach and Cody changing to the suite life on deck
Interesting. I looked up this show and it looks like it kept the same creator credits. I do wonder if there was some secret behind the scenes things going on, or if some other shenanigans happened (obviously if it’s supposed to be a secret, it’s hard to find.)
The Disney kids shows where the last season or 2 are in an entirely new location than the first ones. Suite life on deck is an example
Disney has done this with all the kids shows for years for the same reason
It’s one of their go to moves on Disney channel for their popular series. Suite life, Hannah Montana, lab rats, Liv and Maddie.
I heard talk of this, and I'm a bit curious if this is in fact the reason why they have named it so.

Makes no sense if it's the same premise, same major characters and basically the same recipe as the original -- which seems to be its selling point. But the mouse fucks over whoever it can.

It’s going to be some kind of a soft reboot. It won’t be the same show. It’s not even going to have Karen and Foggy.
I don’t know if it’ll be good, or not. I just know, it won’t be a 4th season of The Daredevil we know.

Weird that they didn’t hire back the two best characters on the show, especially since Deborah Ann Woll has made it clear she’s still interested.

That will be the sticking point. If this is a continuation of the Netflix series, resetting the contract terms will be messed up.
If it’s not a continuation, it’s still kind of messed up that they’re going with the less generous contract terms. I also personally think that would be a bad decision just from a creative standpoint. People wanted more of the Netflix Daredevil, not Disney-fied Daredevil with some of the same actors.
