The first teaser has been released for the new Netflix series, Marvel’s Jessica Jones, based on one of the more obscure Marvel Comics characters. That’s right, in the Renaissance of superhero shows, Jessica Jones beat Wonder Woman to get her own television series. Veronica Mars’s Krysten Ritter has the title role. Alone, that makes it worth giving the series a try, but several other genre actors in supporting cast roles will give us even more to look forward to. This includes Doctor Who’s David Tennant (Kilgrave), The Matrix’s Carrie-Anne Moss (Harper), Men in Black 3’s Mike Colter (Luke Cage), Transformers’ Rachael Taylor (Trish Walker), and True Detective’s Erin Moriarty (Hope).
The Netflix original series is the second of four Marvel series, Marvel’s Daredevil launched earlier this year, plus Marvel’s Luke Cage and Marvel’s Iron Fist are on the way, leading up to Marvel’s The Defenders, all to be released only on Netflix. Behind Marvel’s Jessica Jones are creators of the Twilight movies, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Elementary.
Here are two teaser trailers for Marvel’s Jessica Jones, one a mood piece and the other a brief hint at the nature of humor in the series:
Look for thirteen one-hour episodes of Marvel’s Jessica Jones to drop on Netflix, November 20, 2015.
