Krysten Ritter Comments on Returning as Jessica Jones in DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN and There's "Much More in Store"

Yesterday, news broke that Krysten Ritter is officially returning as Jessica Jones in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. Ritter has since commented on the big announcement, saying:

"It's so great to be back, returning to Jessica after three seasons and The Defenders and now joining the MCU. I'm so excited to bring back this iconic character, and without giving too much away, there is much more in store for Jessica Jones. This is going to be an incredible season!"

I love that Ritter is joining the fold, and now we have two Defenders down, with two to go… Mike Colter’s Luke Cage and Finn Jones’ Iron Fist, but I could do with out Jones’ version of Iron Fist. Who know if those characters will even return.

I hope that Ritter’s involvement in the next season will involve a decent sized and meaningful story arc, maybe something that leads to a Jessica Jones Marvel Special Presentation, like Jon Bernthal got for The Piunisher.

The character is just a interesting, unique and one of the more complex and compelling heroes Marvel TV ever gave us, and she deserves the spotlight.

As Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 gears up for its March 2026 premiere, we’ll be watching closely for more news.
