The king is back in Hell's Kitchen, but not only does he want the chunk of territory in New York, he also wants his own show, as Wilson Fisk a.k.a. Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio) from Netflix' "Daredevil" might be getting his own miniseries.

Season one showrunner of Marvel's "Daredevil" Stephen DeKnight has recently taken to Twitter to answer a fan's request for him to oversee the return of Fisk in the upcoming season 3 on Netflix. DeKnight has even teased the fans of the show that he is up for a six-episode miniseries of "Return of the King," a comic book story arc in "Daredevil," where Fisk returns to Hell's Kitchen for vengeance, teaming up with Matt Murdock a.k.a. Daredevil (Charlie Cox in the series).

DeKnight even tagged D'Onofrio in his tweet about the miniseries, assumingly because he wants D'Onofrio to reprise his role as the Kingpin, should the project get greenlit. As of now though, there are no official statements from either Marvel or Netflix regarding the spin-off, and neither has D'Onofrio responded to DeKnight's tweet.

For now, fans can expect D'Onofrio's return to the "Daredevil" series as Fisk. Marvel has announced that Fisk will be returning as a main character in season three of Marvel's vigilante series, and his much-awaited return in Hell's Kitchen may get explosive. Fans have been awaiting his official return to the scene and in Murdock's sights ever since he was incarcerated in season 1 by the Daredevil himself.

The events in season two of the show, however, have cemented the notion that no walls or bars can hold Fisk since he has never seen a throne he doesn't want to sit on, as was evident when he took over an entire prison from scratch despite being a fresh inmate.

It is not yet clear what Fisk plans to do once he returns, but fans can expect that he will be after Daredevil, as the latter is the biggest threat that Fisk and his crime empire are facing.

No release date has been confirmed yet for season three of Marvel's "Daredevil" on Netflix.
