Krysten Ritter will reprise her role as Jessica Jones in season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, Disney announced Tuesday at its upfronts presentations, according to Variety report from the event. The return of Ritter’s version of Jones will come nearly a decade after her most recent on-screen appearance as the character in Netflix’s The Defenders. Ritter starred as Jessica Jones, a former superhero with PTSD who starts her own detective agency, Alias Investigations, for three seasons when Netflix was making street-level Marvel superhero shows. Ritter’s Jones also appeared in The Defenders, a mini-series that brought together Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Danny “Iron Fist” Rand to battle criminal organization the Hand. “It’s so great to be back, returning to Jessica after three seasons and ‘The Defenders’ and now joining the MCU,” Ritter said, according to Variety’s account of Disney’s presentation. “I’m so excited to bring back this iconic character, and without giving too much away, there is much more in store for Jessica Jones. This is going to be an incredible season!” Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will see Matt Murdock/Daredevil rallying an army of vigilantes and police officers to take down mayor Wilson Fisk and his anti-vigilante task force. Having the super-powered Jones on his side would obviously be a boon for Murdock; he’ll likely have Frank Castle/Punisher at his disposal, but whether any other Defenders are available to pitch in is unclear. Luke Cage actor Mike Colter has said he “would love to explore” a return to the MCU, as has Iron Fist actor Finn Jones. “I’m very aware of the critiques of the character and my role in it. My response to that is, ‘Give me a f*cking chance, man,’” Jones reportedly said earlier this year. “I’m here and I’m ready, and I wanna prove people wrong.” Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again is expected to debut on Disney Plus in early 2026. Confirmed to return in the second season are Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Wilson Bethel as Bullseye, Clark Johnson as Cherry, Genneya Walton as BB Urich, and Michael Gandolfini as Daniel Blake. Elden Henson will also return as Foggy Nelson… somehow.
