Jessica Jones Season 2 To Focus On Repercussions Of Kilgrave And Feature More Side Characters

It is hard to believe that it has been nearly six months since the first season of Jessica Jones hit Netflix and we were introduced to the troubled private investigator. It was building off the heels of success of Daredevil and with the Marvel logo slapped on it, the majority of audiences loved every bit of it. A big reason why the show works so well is the portrayal of Jessica Jones that Krysten Ritter absolutely nailed. With Melissa Rosenberg on board as the showrunner, the duo kicked off another great corner of the MCU and it has already been renewed for a second season.

Currently, Netflix and Marvel are filming Iron Fist, which will debut early next year after Luke Cage and prior to The Defenders team up mini-series. Post Defenders, season 2 of Jessica Jones will have to fight with The Punisher spin-off series to see who debuts first, but all indications are pointing towards Jessica and company getting priority. Rosenberg recently talked to Nerdist about season 2 and what we can expect. They are early on in the pre-production process, but Rosenberg knows they will deal with how Jessica feels after willingly killing Kilgrave (David Tennant).

One never just stops having that experience. It becomes a part of who they are, but she’s a survivor and that’s what I’ve always loved about her. The interesting thing is so yes she’s a victim of rape and assault, but the thing that was the ultimate rape of her was to turn her into a murderer. So at the end, she has to do it again and this time it’s her choice and she kills someone. Yes, someone who we all probably think deserves it, but ultimately she is taking a life with her own hands and that is not something that she walks away from going, “Yeah!” She feels that. Taking a life to Jessica Jones is a very very serious, life changing experience.

Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are so amazing.

I never watched BB until they were already off the air. I set a new standard for binge watching once I saw the first episode.

I wish that I had 65 episodes of Jessica Jones in stock.
