Unveiling Marvel's Secret: A New Jessica Jones Series in the Works
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is abuzz with the prospect of a new Jessica Jones series, thanks to a recent interview with Brad Winderbaum, the mastermind behind the MCU's TV division. In a revealing chat with The Direct, Winderbaum hinted at the show's imminent arrival, stating, 'Maybe sooner than you think.'
This isn't the first time Winderbaum has expressed his enthusiasm for Jessica Jones. Back in 2024, he openly declared his desire to bring Jessica Jones back to the MCU, a sentiment that resonated with actress Krysten Ritter. In a heartening exchange with ComicBook, Ritter exclaimed, 'Brad Winderbaum said that? That's thrilling! Isn't he the decision-maker?'
The timing of these statements is intriguing. With the first season of 'Daredevil: Born Again' released in March 2025 and filming for season 2 already underway in February, it's plausible that the wheels for Jessica Jones' return were already in motion. This speculation is further fueled by the show's potential to serve as a launchpad for more 'street-level' content, as opposed to the massive budgets of projects like 'Secret Invasion'.
The introduction of Jon Bernthal's Punisher in 'Daredevil: Born Again' season 2, who is also set to appear in a Disney Plus special and the next Spider-Man movie, hints at Marvel's strategy. The show's success has already led to a third season renewal, and there's a buzz around the potential return of Luke Cage and Iron Fist, possibly even Elektra, adding to the nostalgia of the Netflix era.
While Marvel continues to explore new territories with shows like 'Wonder Man' and 'VisionQuest', the future of Marvel TV seems to be a nostalgic return to the days of 'The Defenders' and their allies. As fans eagerly await the next chapter of Jessica Jones, the question remains: will she live up to the hype and cement her place in the MCU's future?
