Development

In January 2015, Netflix COO Ted Sarandos stated that Jessica Jones the series was "eligible to go into multiple seasons for sure" and Netflix would look at "how well [they] are addressing both the Marvel fanbase but also the broader fanbase" in terms of determining if additional seasons would be appropriate.[8] In July 2015, Sarandos said some of the Defender series would "selectively have multiple seasons as they come out of the gate,"[9] with series showrunner Melissa Rosenberg saying she was hopeful Jessica Jones would get an additional season before Marvel's The Defenders.[10] Rosenberg later expanded on this, saying that Marvel Television and Netflix were working out the placement of a potential second season, though "[i]t might not be possible from a logistical standpoint" to have a second season of Jessica Jones debut before The Defenders;[11] Sarandos later confirmed this to be the case, stating that the season would air after The Defenders released in 2017.[12] On January 17, 2016, Netflix ordered a second season of 13 episodes.[13] Raelle Tucker joined the season as an executive producer and writer, replacing Liz Friedman from the first season, who departed the series to work on the pilot for the ABC series, Conviction.[14]

Writing

Rosenberg and the season's writers were halfway through the writing process by August 2016,[15] with the scripts completed by the end of October 2016.[16] With The Defenders releasing before the season, Rosenberg used the miniseries as an opportunity to help "set up" elements for the season, working with The Defenders showrunners Doug Petrie and Marco Ramirez to do so.[17]

Rosenberg wanted to "continue with [the Jessica Jones] character" in the season, saying, "She's a very damaged character, her damage goes beyond [David Tennant's] Kilgrave. There's a lot to mine from in her backstory and in her present day situation".[18] Actress Krysten Ritter said that the second season would evolve from the first, and that for Jones, "The first season was in her head and the second season is in her heart."[19] On whether Tennant could return for the second season, Rosenberg said, "Sure, when you have David Tennant, you want him around forever....But the show is called Jessica Jones and the story is about Jessica's arc and how does that play out in its best form?" It was noted that Kilgrave would be "hard to top" though, with Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb saying, "One of the things that's important about any Marvel show is your hero is often defined by how strong your antagonist is,"[20] with Rosenberg adding that the objective for the new villain, or villains, for the season would be not to match or do what was done with Kilgrave.[17][21]

Rosenberg also hoped to "further expand on the ensemble and on Jessica's world" by giving more screen time to supporting characters,[22][23] noting that in the first season, "the trick of a show that's called Jessica Jones [is if] she's not in the scene, it's not a guarantee that scene will end up in the final picture. You have to earn secondary character stories. You have to flesh them out enough so that they can eventually carry stories of their own" in future seasons.[23] She also wanted to continue to explore the relationship between Jones and Trish Walker, stating "That is the core relationship in the piece. It is about female friendship, it is about how friends evolve—they're sisters, really—and it's about how they evolve and ping off each other."[21] On Jones becoming famous after her heroics in the first season, Ritter said, "She keeps her circle small because she doesn't want people in her life, so there's no textbook on how to deal with new popularity or new eyes on you."[19] Speaking on the social issues she hoped to tackle in the season, after covering "issues of choice, interracial relationships, domestic violence, [and] issues of consent" while also exploring "feminism and being a woman in this world" in the first, Rosenberg said, "I'm not quite sure yet what the social issues are that we're dealing with [in season 2]. We're just trying to find some resonance for [Jessica Jones] and a new place to push her, to give Krysten something new to play and really push the boundaries of the character."[21]

After much of the first season was taken from the Alias comic book, Rosenberg wanted to continue that trend with the second season, but acknowledged that "the MCU is very different from the comics in terms of its mythology. In the books there were things building towards Civil War and all that, and here that's not the case. The nature of that is we're probably not going to be able to continue to do parallel storylines [to Alias]".[18] On having Jones continue to struggle with the same issues in the second season, Loeb said, "The end of the [first season]—and it was one of the things that was very important when we talked about the end of the first [season]—was that it wasn't, 'Ooh, I triumphed and now I can get in my hovercar and join the Avengers.' That wasn't the story we were interested in telling."[24] Rosenberg elaborated by comparing the Jessica Jones to her previous series Dexter, saying that she learned "you can advance the character, but you never want to cure the character. With Dexter, the moment he felt guilt or accepted that he was 'bad,' the show's over. He's no longer a sociopath. The equivalent for us would be if Jessica somehow recovered from the damage that had been done to her. People don't just heal".[15] She added that Jones' killing of Kilgrave at the end of the first season was "a life changing experience" and something that would affect the character going forward.[23]

Casting

After the season was ordered, several main cast members revealed that they would return for the second season, including Ritter as Jessica Jones,[1] Rachael Taylor as Patricia "Trish" Walker,[25][2] and Carrie-Anne Moss as Jeri Hogarth.[26][3] Eka Darville also reprises his role as Malcolm Ducasse.[4] In March 2017, J.R. Ramirez was cast as Oscar, which was revealed in July after the airing of his character's death on Power.[6][27] By that month, Leah Gibson had also joined the cast, in the role of Ingrid.[5]

In April 2017, Janet McTeer was cast in an undisclosed role, described as someone who has "an enormous impact on Jessica's life."[28] In August, David Tennant was confirmed to be reprising his role as Kilgrave.[7]

Filming

Filming began the week of April 3, 2017 in New York City, once again using the working title Violet.[29] This followed the end of production on The Defenders in March,[30] with Ritter having indicated in May 2016 that the season would film back-to-back with The Defenders.[31] Filming occurred at the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center.[32] Filming for the season wrapped on September 14, 2017.[33]

Approaching the second season, Rosenberg wanted to increase the number of female directors working on the series as a further push for representation. This was a goal that "Marvel was completely on board with", and given the demand of many talented female directors at the time, the series' producers looked to book only female directors first, and approach male directors later in the pre-production phase if needed. Another member of the production suggested that the series book only female directors for the season, which Rosenberg "hadn't contemplated [as a] concept prior to that conversation". She quickly made that the goal of the production, and in October 2016, Rosenberg confirmed that all 13 episodes of the season would be directed by women.[16]

Release

The second season of Jessica Jones is scheduled to be released on March 8, 2018,[34] on the streaming service Netflix worldwide, in Ultra HD 4K and high dynamic range.[35]
