Marvel Exec Brad Winderbaum Gives Cryptic Update on the Return of JESSICA JONES
After Daredevil made the leap from his Netflix series to the MCU via a few cameos and ultimately the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again, fans figured it was a matter of time before we saw some of the other Defenders make the leap into the MCU.
The Punisher already appeared, and it was announced that Jessica Jones will also join the pair in the upcoming season, but some wonder if we may see her continue her storyline in her own follow-up show.
Marvel executive and Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum, was recently asked during an interview with the Phase Hero podcast (via SuperHeroHype) about when the character, played by Krysten Ritter, may receive her own Disney+ revival project. “[It’s coming] maybe sooner than you think,” Winderbaum teased.
When Ritter joined the podcast episode later on, she also hinted at there being plenty more to explore with Jessica Jones now that she is back in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “There’s a lot of stuff that I’ve felt there was room to explore, and Brad and I talked about it. And I am not going to say any of it, because we’re going to be doing it.”
Created by Melissa Rosenberg, Jessica Jones follows Ritter’s title character, an ex-superhero turned private investigator, as she opens her own detective agency, Alias Investigations, and works to stop the villainous Kilgrave. Jessica Jones is notable for being the only other Marvel series besides Daredevil to last more than two seasons on Netflix, with its three 13-episode seasons dropping in 2015, 2018, and 2019.
If Marvel is working on a new Jessica Jones series, it would mark the studio’s third project to feature a major Netflix character, after Daredevil and The Punisher. The former is already in development on its third season of Born Again, while the latter is in production on a Marvel Studios Special Presentation. Both are expected to be released in 2026 on Disney+.
All three characters will appear in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, which is slated to premiere on Disney+ in March 2026.
