In Daredevil: Born Again, episode 7’s shock death of Deputy Mayor Daniel Blake was altered in the editing room after filming.

Actors were informed of the shift, and the season 2 finale premieres May 5 on Disney+.
In Daredevil: Born Again, the death of Daniel Blake was changed after filming: the on-set scene did not include a gunshot, but post-production added a CGI gunshot to Blake’s death.

A roundup of four TV reviews: Beef Season 2 lands with electric performances from Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan and a faster, bigger Montecito-set arc that questions whether bigger is better, while The Boys’ ‘Every One Of You Sons And Bitches’ deepens its grim humor and villain dynamics as it gears toward a V1 hunt. Invincible Season 4’s “Don’t Do Anything Rash” delivers visually striking, ambitious action but is hampered by filler, and Daredevil: Born Again’s “The Grand Design” uses a memory-driven structure to heighten mercy and address Foggy and Vanessa’s arcs.
