Ahead of season two, Daredevil: Born Again is renewed for a third season, Marvel announces.

The confirmation comes after speculations about whether the show’s sophomore season would be its last.

But in a chat with IGN, Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming, television and animation at Marvel Studios, said, “In terms of Daredevil, yeah, we are greenlit for Season 3, and we start shooting next year.”

It’s expected the shooting on season three will begin in 2026, the same year season two will air.

Moreover, after filming much of season one, the show underwent a complete overhaul.

But still, the return of Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk has drawn overall positive reviews of the reboot series.

Further, it’s worth noting that earlier, the vigilante Daredevil star made a remark on the future of the show, which led some to believe season two would be the “final season”.

However, Vincent, in a tweet on X, clarified, “I believe Charlie meant the last season we actually shot, meaning the second season. Yet he used the term “final season”, so it’s a bit confusing.”

“But Charlie and I have discussed, and we both agree there’s a very good chance for a third season,” he concluded. “Good chance there will be a third.”

Apple TV+ has returned with another thriller original drama series, The Last Frontier, in whose trailer Jason Clarke shines as a lone U.S. marshal.

Along with starring, the actor also executive produced the show, along with Jon Bokenkamp and Richard D’Ovidio, who are also serving as creators and writers.

The 10-episode series will follow “Frank Remnick (Jason), the lone U.S. marshal in charge of the quiet, rugged barrens of Alaska. Remnick’s jurisdiction is turned upside down when a prison transport plane crashes in the remote wilderness, setting free dozens of violent inmates.”

“Tasked with protecting the town he’s vowed to keep safe, he begins to suspect the crash wasn’t an accident, but the first step of a well-crafted plan with far-reaching and devastating implications,” the synopsis read.

In addition to Jason, the series cast includes Dominic Cooper, Haley Bennett, Simone Kessell, Dallas Goldtooth, Tait Blum, and Alfre Woodard.

With Sam Hargrave as series episodic director, The Last Frontier will be out on Apple TV+ on October 10, as the rest of the episodes drop weekly.

The equity market advanced sharply on Thursday, closing at a fresh record as investor sentiment was buoyed by a landmark Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement signed between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

The Pakistan Stock Exchange’s (PSX) benchmark KSE-100 Index settled at 157,953.46 points, up 1,775.65 points, or 1.14%, from the previous close of 156,177.81. 

During the session, the index climbed to an intraday high of 158,082.55 points, gaining 1,904.74 points, or 1.22%. The session low was recorded at 156,978.85 points, still higher by 801.04 points, or 0.51%.

“The news about the defence partnership has brought excitement across the board. This is a major macro rerating game changer that can pour more liquidity and reduce risk premium,” AAH Soomro, an independent investment and economic analyst.

“The index may head upwards without corrections,” he added.

Pakistan and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday formalised a landmark Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement, pledging to treat any aggression against one country as aggression against both.

The pact was signed during Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s state visit to Riyadh, where he was received by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman at Al-Yamamah Palace.

The pact reflects a joint commitment to enhance bilateral security ties and contribute to regional and global peace, the statement said. It aims to develop defence cooperation further and strengthen joint deterrence against any aggression. Crucially, the agreement stipulates that any aggression against one country shall be considered aggression against both.

The government also raised Rs195 billion from the auction of market Treasury bills (T-bills) on Wednesday, surpassing its Rs175 billion target. However, it rejected bids for the 10-year floating-rate Pakistan Investment Bond (PIB) as investors demanded higher returns.

The T-bill auction drew participation worth Rs1.07 trillion, with yields ending nearly flat. The cut-off yield on a one-month paper eased by 1 basis point (bp) to 10.7445%. The three-month bill yield stood unchanged at 10.8502%, while the six-month paper edged down 1bp to 10.8376%. The 12-month yield also stayed steady at 10.9999%.

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Monday held its policy rate steady at 11% for the third consecutive meeting, citing inflation concerns amid devastating floods. Since June 2024, the central bank has slashed rates by a total of 1,100bps, but kept them unchanged in June, July, and now September.

By comparison, in the previous session on Wednesday, the KSE-100 Index closed almost flat, down 3.12 points to 156,177.82 from 156,180.94. The day’s high was 157,196.59 points, while the low stood at 155,960.36 points.
