Krysten Ritter Returns as Jessica Jones in Daredevil S2

by Lily Oct 21,2025

Krysten Ritter confirms her comeback as Jessica Jones in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.

As Variety reports, Ritter's reprisal of Marvel's hardboiled private investigator was unveiled during Disney's Upfront presentation in New York. This confirmation follows persistent speculation about Disney+ potentially reuniting Netflix's Defenders cast as they transition into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Ritter appeared onstage with Daredevil co-star Charlie Cox, sharing her enthusiasm about revisiting Jessica Jones.

"Returning to Jessica after three seasons and The Defenders feels amazing," Ritter stated. "I'm thrilled to reintroduce this fan-favorite character – and while I can't reveal much, audiences will see Jessica evolve in exciting ways. This season will truly deliver!"

Ritter first embodied the New York-based Marvel hero when Jessica Jones debuted on Netflix in 2015. Following two additional seasons and The Defenders crossover, Netflix's Marvel era concluded – seemingly closing the chapter on Ritter's portrayal.

The narrative shifted in 2021 when Disney reacquired rights to these characters. Cox's return via Spider-Man: No Way Home and his Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again fueled speculation about other Defenders joining the MCU. With Punisher playing a key role in Season 1, Ritter's Season 2 return creates exciting continuity.

Having last appeared in 2019's Jessica Jones Season 3, Ritter's tease suggests broader MCU plans for the character. While details remain under wraps, her participation in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is confirmed. Disney hasn't announced a premiere date, but showrunner Dario Scardapane indicates March 2026 for new episodes.
