Putting this one under the tags. They're still not shooting for S3.
Spoiler:

As reported by MCU Exchange, IMDb has updated its Daredevil roster for season three to include a familiar name. Peter McRobbie is said to return in the first episode of Daredevil’s next season, and fans will know the man as Father Lantom. The priest is a recurring one in the Marvel series, and his return in season three could hint at Matthew Murdock’s return to the church.
Of course, there’s no official word on McRobbie’s return, but fans should not be surprised by the comeback. Father Lantom was a central figure in the first season of Daredevil. The priest provided spiritual guidance to Matthew as the blind vigilante wrestled with his inner-demons. However, when season two rolled around, the priest had a far more lax presence. Father Lantom only appeared in front of Matthew at a funeral, so Daredevil could seek out his mentor’s advice in the wake season two's fallout.
After all, the vigilante does have a lot of baggage to work through. The end of season two saw Matthew lose his former lover Elektra and friendship with Foggy Nelson. He may have gained a budding romance with Karen Paige, but Daredevil was kicked well into the ground. The Defenders also promises to take the blind hero to task as a secretive organization in New York City comes face-to-face with some of Marvel’s toughest heroes. Given Matthew’s reliance on faith, it is not surprising to learn the boy might need to do some serious praying after all of this.
The last time Charlie Cox talked about his return as Daredevil, the actor said the man will be focusing on his non-Daredevil life. Part of that focus may very well extend into his Catholic faith, and Father Lantom could help Matthew through some much-needed confessions. That is, assuming the priest isn’t killed off in some sort of retaliatory attack against Daredevil. If that were to happen, there is no telling how Matthew would respond.
