JESSICA JONES Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg is Leaving Marvel and Going to WB

The creator and showrunner of Marvel's Jessica Jones series, Melissa Rosenberg, is making a big and surprising change. She is leaving Marvel after Jessica Jones Season 3 and heading over to Warner Bros. Television to create and develop new projects. I imagine some of those projects will be DC related.

According to THR, the studio "outbid Netflix for Rosenberg's services in a deal that ultimately is worth in the eight-figure range. Ultimately, Rosenberg was ready to do something different and was ready to move on to new projects, though, Netflix is said to have courted her to stay."

Rosenberg has done some great stuff with Jessica Jones and it will be sad to see her go, but it will also be exciting to see what she ends up doing at WB. She had this to say in a statement:

"All of my attention remains with the extraordinary cast, writers and production team of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, until the completion of season three. It continues to be a career highlight working with my partners at Marvel Television and Netflix. We’re extraordinarily grateful to the viewers who have supported us every step of the way on Jessica’s journey, which is so beautifully realized by Krysten Ritter and the amazing cast including Rachael Taylor, Eka Darville and Carrie-Anne Moss. We have so many talented storytellers in every area of this show, who I’m honored to call friends and collaborators. As I look ahead after this season, I’m thrilled that I will be able to explore new projects with the talented team at Warner Bros. Television and push myself in new challenging creative directions."

A new showrunner would take over for Rosenberg should Netflix decide to renew Jessica Jones for a fourth season. Rosenberg will remain credited as the show's creator and executive producer.
