Netflix Renews Marvel's JESSICA JONES For Season 2
Those of you who were hoping for a second season of Jessica Jones will be happy to hear that Netflix has officially renewed it! The news comes from Deadline, who reports that it has been given 13 new episodes.
Melissa Rosenberg will return as the executive producer and showrunner of the series, which stars Krysten Ritter as the title character. I absolutely loved the first season, and Ritter was awesome in the role of Jones.
Jessica Jones took the MCU to its darkest places yet, and I imagine season two will continue to push the boundaries. The series follows Jones as she is rebuilding her life after a tragic event ended her short-lived time as a super hero. In the aftermath of that, she starts a career as a private investigator in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen.
We're not sure what season two will entail or when it will premiere, but In a previous interview with the outlet, Rosenthal talked about what she would like to do if the show got a second season order.
“I think one of the things I would be able to do now, that’s harder to do in the first season, is to really expand on the ensemble. Poor Krysten Ritter, she was in every scene that we shot, we beat the crap out of her. She was a shell of a human being by the time we ended, and that is not sustainable. But when you have a show that’s called Jessica Jones, if Jessica Jones isn’t in a scene the rest of it become almost irrelevant until you earn other character storylines. You’ve got to flesh out those characters enough that you can travel.
"So, I would hope to further expand on the ensemble, and on Jessica’s world. She ends in a very different place than she started off. She’s still going to be Jessica Jones — that is not going to change. She will continue to drink and make mistakes, and accidentally drop people onto train tracks, but something has changed for her by the end of this season, and I’d just love to explore that in the second season.”
I really loved the characters that were introduced to in the first season and I'm curious to what new interesting characters that they introduce in the second season and where the story of Jones goes from where we last saw her.
