The office of Jessica Jones is officially reopening.
Marvel Studios has confirmed that Krysten Ritter will be reprising her role as the fan-favorite superpowered detective in the next season of Daredevil: Born Again.
The announcement was made earlier today during Disney’s Upfront presentation, an event designed to excite advertisers about upcoming TV shows.
Ritter starred as Jones in the Netflix series of the same name, which premiered nearly a decade ago. She garnered acclaim from fans and critics alike, in what is still considered by many to be one of the better Marvel-Netflix TV shows.
She is the second addition to the show’s second season after Matthew Lillard. And she joins Jon Bernthal, who also reprised his role as Frank Castle a.k.a The Punisher in the show’s first season on Disney+.
Now, it’s unclear when the second season will air, but it’s possible it could air sometime next year.
