Dario Scardapane altered Daredevil: Born Again to provide more action-packed and gritty storytelling. The show underwent a creative overhaul, but the original pilot episode remained in the series as Episode 2. The decision to showcase Foggy's death onscreen resonated with audiences and may hint at his return through flashbacks.

After killing off Matt Murdock's fan-favorite companion Foggy only minutes into the new season, another character bites the dust at the end of the third instalment – Hector Ayala, a.k.a. the vigilante known as the White Tiger.
