JESSICA JONES Showrunner Hints at Further Comic Roots in Season 2

Jessica Jones had a winning formula in its first season, and it looks like very little is going to change in that regard. Variety reports showrunner Melissa Rosenberg didn't reveal concrete plans for season two, but assured those at their TCA panel the show would remain deeply rooted within the Alias comic series.

I will always use as much as I possibly can from the comic book...the MCU is very different in terms of its mythology. In the books, everyone knows superheroes are walking around, there’s a lot of things building toward Secret Wars. We’re probably not going to be able to do a totally parallel storylines. But I take every little piece I can because it’s so good.”

While there was little said about where, when, and what will happen in season two, Rosenberg did give us a little insight into how Jessica is feeling post season one.

“For Jessica, that final moment, that victorious triumphant moment, I found that very conflicting in terms of her headspace. He’s the reason why she got up every day. He’s the reason why she went out in the world… it really gave her a purpose, and the past trauma doesn’t go away with his death.”

I'm hoping for more cameos for season two, and perhaps a Daredevil crossover episode? It would be tough to pull off with the way streaming works, but I think it would be cool to see something happening in the Daredevil story line that teases an event in Jones' story, and then waiting the additional months to see that unfold.
