Netflix Renews Jessica Jones For Second Season

Marvel’s Jessica Jones will get a second season, Netflix announced today.

The streaming service said that Jessica Jones will be back for more after a successful first outing. Season One debuted in November and is now streaming, with a total of 13 episodes.

Currently streaming its first season on Netflix, Marvel’s Jessica Jones is a suspenseful, edgy look into the life of Jessica Jones, one of the most popular new Marvel characters of the last decade. After a tragic ending to her short-lived Super Hero stint, Jessica Jones is rebuilding her personal life and career as a private investigator in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.

Critics’ Choice award nominee Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) is joined by an amazing cast including David Tennant (Kilgrave), Mike Colter (Luke Cage), Rachael Taylor (Trish Walker), Carrie-Anne Moss, Eka Darville, Erin Moriarty, and Wil Traval, among others. The series is executive produced by series showrunner Melissa Rosenberg (Twilight, Dexter) and Liz Friedman (Elementary), along with Jeph Loeb (Marvel’s Daredevil, Lost, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).

The service has not yet specified the number of episodes, returning cast, or a premiere window for Season Two. Marvel’s Daredevil will premiere its second season in March, while spin-off Luke Cage (starring Colter) also debuts later this year.

While Netflix doesn’t announce ratings data for its shows, third parties have recently speculated that Jessica Jones‘s numbers are in the neighborhood of 4.8 million viewers ages 18 to 49.
