[easyazon_link identifier=”B0744RCL2L” locale=”US” tag=”tvovermind00a-20″]Season 1 of Jessica Jones[/easyazon_link] received both critical and commercial success when its 13 episodes were released on November 20 of 2015. As a result, it should come as no surprise to learn that Season 2 of the series is in production at the moment, meaning that interested individuals should be able to expect the new episodes sometime in 2018. Some people have speculated about it coming out in spring as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s pattern of spring releases for its TV shows, but at this point in time, it is not enough information to say for sure.
What Do You Need to Know about Season 2 of Jessica Jones?
With that said, a fair amount of information has been released about Season 2 of Jessica Jones, which should prove interesting to those who remember Season 1 with fondness. For starters, it is known that Krysten Ritter, Rachael Taylor, and Carrie-Anne Moss will be making a return to the main cast as Jessica Jones, Patricia Walker, and Jeri Hogarth. However, we also know that both Leah Gibson and J.R. Ramirez will be joining the main cast as Ingrid and Oscar. Some people have speculated that Ingrid will be the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the supervillain called [easyazon_link identifier=”0785110410″ locale=”US” tag=”tvovermind00a-20″]Typhoid Mary[/easyazon_link] based on a short casting description stating that she is a person with a nurse’s education who has lived on the streets from time to time, but this is no more than speculation.
In contrast, much more is known about Oscar, who is not just the superintendent of Jones’s apartment building but also the single father of a son who has become fascinated with Jones’s superpowers. As a result, some people have speculated about a potential romance between the two characters, not least because Luke Cage is involved with Claire Temple in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at the moment.
Besides the casting news, there is a wide range of other miscellaneous information that might be interesting to Jessica Jones fans. For example, it has been confirmed that all 13 episodes of Season 2 will be directed by female directors, which is an intentional choice on the part of the showrunner Melissa Rosenburg for the purpose of increasing representation. This seems like a natural step, seeing as how [easyazon_link identifier=”B01MZGWUZA” locale=”US” tag=”tvovermind00a-20″]Jessica Jones[/easyazon_link] has not hesitated to address serious issues such as consent, feminism, domestic violence, and interracial relationships in Season 1. However, it remains to be seen what sort of issues will be brought up in Season 2, though it is important to note that Jones as a character will continue to be affected by her killing Kilgrave and her other experiences from previous episodes because such experiences do not just fade into nowhere.
On a final note, Season 2 of Jessica Jones is being filmed back-to-back with [easyazon_link identifier=”B01DX0ND2K” locale=”US” tag=”tvovermind00a-20″]The Defenders[/easyazon_link], which makes perfect sense because said series is centered around the team-up of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Danny Rand as Iron Fist. As a result, fans of Jessica Jones might want to check out The Defenders when it is released on August 18 of 2017. After all, while it seems probable that the people behind Season 2 will make sure that people can follow it with no problems so long as they have watched Season 1, chances are good that the experience will be that much better for those who have watched The Defenders as well.
