Luckily for all Jessica Jones fans, season 2 is coming soon. And the latest trailer reveals a new release date. Fans all over the world were eager to hear that their favorite show is getting a new season, and it’s almost here.
Jessica Jones is a Netflix show about an ex-superhero trying to rebuild her life. She chooses a new career, that of a private investigator dealing with people with remarkable abilities. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming season.
Jessica Jones Is One Of Netflix’s Unique Marvel Shows
Not all heroes are created equally. Some are supersonic blurs streaking across the sky, racing from one danger to the next. Some cover themselves in high-tech armor, while others blunder into battle half-naked and swinging. Some emblazon themselves with the colors of their homeland, whereas others must endlessly protect a world that hates and fears them for what they are. Some guard the galaxy. Some avenge the planet. And some defend the streets.
It’s understandable that after being at the forefront of pop culture for so long, audiences would start to turn on the superhero craze that has dominated the blockbuster landscape since seemingly time immemorial. There were so many studios carving off so many pieces of the genre for so long, and so many of them were just so terrible. Even today, some movies can’t help but sour everybody to the very idea of square-jawed men in tights coming to save the day.
Even those that have grown jaded with Marvel, DC, and every other spandex peddler in the business can’t help but embrace Marvel’s Netflix series. In fact, the ones most bored with the idea of dime-store Supermen cropping up like weeds every ten feet seem to be the ones most excited for the peculiar brand of super heroics Netflix has to offer.
Jessica Jones Is a Realistic Feminist Superhero
Compared to their sanitized, family-friendly, big-screen counterparts, Netflix’s shows feel so much closer to reality. These feel like larger moments in our frantic, messy, lived-in lives. This looks like our cities and sounds like our streets. They’re dark and grim and gritty — yes — but they’re also warm and familiar. Sure, these shows are still about superheroes, but they’re also about Human beings.
Even though Luke Cage is broadly considered to be the best of the lot, I’ve never been able to reconcile that with the fact that Jessica Jones exists. Starring a kickass P.I. wresting — usually poorly — with her inner demons, it feels like a seedy, salacious Noir starring a woman who is the strict antithesis of everything we’ve come to expect from Marvel at this point.
The show’s first season was a revelation. David Tennant‘s Kilgrave is one of the all-time great comic book villains, right up there with Heath Ledger’s Joker and Vincent D’Onofrio‘s Kingpin. Krysten Ritter‘s Jessica is a gripping, repulsive, yet somehow endearing woman who’s every bit as complicated as her circumstances. And the overarching narrative, spanning a full thirteen episodes, was a mesmerizing window into the terrors of abuse, control, and the everyday struggle of living.
Jessica Jones Season 2 Release Date Is Official
We’ve known that Jessica Jones Season 2 has been coming for a while now. It’s been filming for months in New York, David Tennant has been seen on set (presumably appearing as a hallucination, dream, or flashback), and the well-tuned hype machine has been running nonstop since everybody finished binge-watching The Defenders this summer.
The first trailer for the upcoming season promises us more of what made the first season so instantly unforgettable. Jessica continues to struggle in her day-to-day life, resisting the urge to become a superhero proper while simultaneously being incapable of letting people suffer on her watch. There’s an unseen mystery that pits her against the police and somebody leaving purple portraits of Jessica where she’s sure to find them.
By every measure, it appears to be everything that I wanted out of a sequel: a continuation of her reluctant character arc, the cerebral air of mystery that makes her unique within her genre, and a workhorse cast that can’t help but deliver on the promise of their characters. The new season arrives on Netflix on March 8, and it will undoubtedly not be one to miss.Heath Ledger’s Joker
