'Daredevil' coming to the rescue in April

The first series from Marvel and Netflix's partnership will be available to the platform's US subscribers from April 10.

Over the course of the next five months, the SVOD service will also present three other new series: "Bloodline," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and "Grace and Frankie."

Previously expected to premiere in May, "Daredevil" will hit Netflix earlier than expected, on April 10. Charlie Cox follows in the footsteps of Ben Affleck in the role of Matt Murdoch, a blind lawyer by day who becomes a superhero with enhanced senses after sundown.

Vincent D'Onofrio and Rosario Dawson also feature in the drama, which will be followed by four others on the Marvel characters Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and the Defenders (expected to be a league of all four).

Before discovering the first superhero's story, Netflix subscribers will find the Tina Fey-produced comedy "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" on the platform from March 6. In the meantime, on January 20, the streaming giant will premiere "Bloodline," a family drama with Kyle Chandler, Sam Shepard and Sissy Spacek, among others.

Comedy fans can look forward to Netflix's release of "Grace and Frankie," starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Martin Sheen, on May 8. The show hails from Marta Kauffman, who created "Friends" in 1994.
