Marvel's first female-led live-action offering will debut this year
Online streaming service Netflix has confirmed that Jessica Jones, it's second collaboration with Marvel Studios, will be made available to subscribers during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Apart from the odd casting announcement and leaked set pic, it's been very quiet on the Jessica Jones front, leading many --myself included-- to believe that the show wouldn't meet its proposed 2015 air date. Well, it looks like Jones' TV debut will land just this side of the New Year, after all.
As someone who isn't all that familiar with the character - barring her appearances in the Daredevil comics and those soulless Marvel cash-ins - sorry, comic events - I'm eager to see what Marvel and Netflix have in store for us.
Described by Jeph Loeb as a psychological thriller, the series follows our eponymous heroine (played by Breaking Bad's Kristen Ritter) as she tries to rebuild her life following a traumatic event, an event which cut short her career as a full-time superhero. Ritter will play opposite David Tennant, the former Doctor Who star stepping into the role of Kilgrave, a shady figure from Jones' troubled past.
