Marvel Cinematic Universe television series

Marvel's Jessica Jones, or simply Jessica Jones, is an American web television series created for Netflix by Melissa Rosenberg, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise, and is the second in a series of shows that will lead up to a Defenders crossover miniseries. The series is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios and Tall Girls Productions, with Rosenberg serving as showrunner.

Krysten Ritter stars as Jessica Jones, a former superhero who opens her own detective agency after an end to her superhero career. Mike Colter, Rachael Taylor, Wil Traval, Erin Moriarty, Eka Darville, Carrie-Anne Moss, and David Tennant also star in season one. A version of the series was originally in development by Rosenberg for ABC in 2010, which was eventually passed on. By late 2013, Rosenberg reworked the series, when it reentered development for Netflix as A.K.A. Jessica Jones and Ritter was cast as Jones in December 2014. Jessica Jones films in New York City, in areas that still look like old Hell's Kitchen.

All episodes of the first season premiered on November 20, 2015. They were released to critical acclaim, with critics noting Ritter's and Tennant's performances as well as the series' noir tone, approach to sexuality, and coverage of darker topics such as rape, assault, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In January 2016, Netflix renewed Jessica Jones for a second season.

Premise

Following a tragic end to her brief superhero career, Jessica Jones tries to rebuild her life as a private investigator, dealing with cases involving people with remarkable abilities in New York City.[5]

Cast and characters

A former superhero with the abilities of superhuman strength and limited flight, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder who opens her own detective agency,[6][7] Alias Investigations.[8] Executive producer and showrunner Melissa Rosenberg had Ritter on the top of her list for playing Jones, even when Rosenberg was developing the series for ABC.[9] On adapting the character from the comics, Jeph Loeb stated, "Jessica Jones [i]s based on a much more adult comic. The source material came that way. She has real problems with a number of things that she abuses! And we’re not shying away from that. There’s no tidying her up."[10] Ritter described the character by saying that "she goes about things in a very odd way, she’s very rough around the edges, and dry and sarcastic and a total asshole sometimes. But I think at her core she’s a good person."[9] She put on 10 pounds (4.5 kg) of muscle for the role and trained for two months before filming began.[11] Elizabeth Cappuccino portrayed a young Jessica.[12]
A man with superhuman strength and unbreakable skin, whom Jones encounters in the course of an investigation and who changes her life immensely.[13][14] Colter put on 30 pounds (14 kg) of muscle for the role,[15] and described the character as "a neighborhood hero, very much linked to New York and Jessica Jones. [He] is a darker, grittier, more tangible character than Iron Man or Thor. He likes to keep things close to his chest, operate on the hush-hush. He has these abilities but he’s not sure how and when to use them."[14] Colter was pleased and surprised that the audience "got" the character, as Luke "was a man of few words and a lot of subtext," which "was refreshing because we were going for this character in a way that said little but spoke volumes because of their past history together. I felt people got the subtleties."[16]
A former model and child star known as "Patsy," who is Jones' adoptive sister and best friend, who now works as a radio host.[17] The role of Jones' best friend was intended for Carol Danvers when Rosenberg was developing the series at ABC,[18][19] but was changed to Walker due to the changing nature of the MCU and the fact that Danvers would appear in her own film. Rosenberg ultimately found this to be "much more appropriate...it was better that [Jessica's] best friend was not someone with powers. It actually ends up being a really great mirror for her."[19] Speaking about the character, Loeb said, "what’s most important is the relationship between her and Jessica, and how these two women who are, in some ways, sisters, in terms of their friendship, could be that different, and yet believe in the same kinds of things....[Rosenberg] really grasps the insight of what it is to have a friendship with a woman, and the way that two women can actually be competitive and friendly, and love each other and hate each other".[20] Catherine Blades portrayed a young Trish.
An NYPD sergeant who is very serious about his job.[8][21] Traval felt that Simpson sees everything in "black and white" and that "justice can be served easily," an opposite to Jessica, who "deals in a world of gray" that causes the two to have friction between them.[22] Traval described the character as "reinvented" and "reshaped" for the series from the one in the comics, as the comic character was "a little bit too hard to handle. [H]e was just a psychotic crazy guy."[23][22][24]
A student-athlete attending New York University who is a client of Alias Investigations.[8][22][24] Moriarty called her character a "polar opposite" to Jessica Jones, describing Hope as "an all-American girl, [innocent and] really earnest". Over the course of the series, the two form a bond, with Jessica becoming protective of Hope, due to a shared experience they have with Kilgrave.[25]
Jones' neighbor who struggles with drug addiction, resulting in his personal journey intertwining with hers.[8][22] Darville stated Malcolm was a new character for the series, though inspired by "seed characters" from the comics. He also felt playing the character with the drug addiction "was pretty intense and dark" and that Malcolm's relationship with Jessica "is like a flip-flop between victim and savior... much more [sibling-like] than anything else."[22]
An attorney and potentially powerful ally to Jones, who hires Jones for cases.[26][27] The gender of the character was changed from male to female for the series, and the character was made a lesbian.[28] Moss signed on to the series after reading the first two scripts, having been pitched the character by Loeb and Rosenberg. Moss described the character by saying that "she’s fierce, she’s strong, she’s powerful, and she likes that power." She worked "a few days every episode", which allowed her to grow the character throughout the series, while not knowing what the character would become as she played each moment, which she noted was how real-life is.[29]
A mysterious man from Jones's past, who can control minds, and whose reappearance shakes up her life.[30] He was born Kevin Thompson and was experimented on as a young child, which resulted in him acquiring an airborne virus that gave him his powers. Loeb called him "a terrible man who doesn’t see himself as terrible" and compared him to Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk in Daredevil, saying, "there are going to be times [watching Daredevil] when you’re uncomfortable because you’re not quite rooting for Matt, you’re kind of rooting for Wilson, and it’s the same kind of thing you’re going to find in Jessica. There’s going to be moments where some of the things that she does is pretty questionable. And some of the things that, when you learn about Kilgrave’s character and the way that David Tennant plays that character, it’s really extraordinary."[10][21] James Freedson-Jackson portrayed a young Kilgrave.

Season 2

The series was renewed for a second season of 13 episodes on January 17, 2016.[31]

Production

Development

In December 2010, it was revealed that Melissa Rosenberg was developing AKA Jessica Jones, based on the comic book series Alias and centered on Jessica Jones, for ABC under her new production banner of Tall Girls Productions along with ABC Studios and Marvel Television, intended to air in 2011 of the 2011–12 television season. The series would include Jeph Loeb, Joe Quesada, Alan Fine and Howard Klein as executive producers, with Alias writer Brian Michael Bendis serving as a consultant.[5] At San Diego Comic-Con International 2011, Loeb stated the series was "about a failed superhero who is rebuilding her life as a private detective in New York City,” and would include Carol Danvers and Luke Cage.[18] In November 2011, Rosenberg said the show was "hoping to get on the schedule for" 2012 of the 2012–13 television season. Rosenberg added, "I love this character. That is an incredibly damaged, dark, complex female character that kicks ass... [she is] a former superhero with PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder." She also stated that, while Cage was a part of the series, the couple's daughter, Danielle, would appear "way down the road."[32] Later in the month, Rosenberg said that the series would acknowledge the existence of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with references to Tony Stark and Stark Industries in the pilot script, but admitted that "As we go along things will alter in terms of what is made available to us, but we're definitely in that universe. We are in no way denying that that universe exists. And as much as I can I'm going to pull everything in from there that I can use". She also noted that Danvers would appear in the series as a principal character.[33]

In May 2012, ABC president Paul Lee said the network had passed on the series.[34] Later that year, Rosenberg stated that the show was being shopped around to other networks,[35] saying "I don’t know if it’s an ABC show. It might be a cable show, really. The [Alias] graphic novel is the first one that Marvel did that was meant to serve an adult audience. I toned it down a little bit for network, but it’s very, very easy to translate that into cable. Very easy."[36] In October 2013, Deadline reported that Marvel was preparing four drama series and a miniseries, totaling 60 episodes, to present to video on demand services and cable providers, with Netflix, Amazon, and WGN America expressing interest.[37] A few weeks later, Marvel and Disney announced that they would provide Netflix with live action series centered around Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage, leading up to a miniseries based on the Defenders.[38] Rosenberg was brought on to write and produce the new incarnation of the series, to be reconfigured from the original project,[39][40] which she called a "page one do-over" from her original vision.[20] Liz Friedman also serves as an executive producer on the series.[41] In December 2014, the official title was revealed to be Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones.[42] However, in June 2015, Marvel revealed that the title for the series would be shortened to Marvel's Jessica Jones.[43] On why the title was shortened, Loeb said, "It literally just became one of those things that happens. We had talked about whether that was the best title for it, and that’s how it happened." Rosenberg added that the "AKA" is "living in the episodes. You'll still see it."[20] On January 17, 2016, Netflix ordered a second season of 13 episodes.[31]

Writing

[We are] very aware this is the first female superhero Marvel’s ever introduced as a lead. But there was never the intention of, “this is an issue series, we’re dealing with issues.” While issues of sexual assault and women in power are all issues that I certainly feel very passionately about taking on, the show’s all about exploring the inner workings of Jessica Jones and her ensemble.

—Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg on the series' approach to "issues".[44]

Rosenberg talked about the freedom that the series had, saying that it would go "even further in all our storytelling" than what Brian Michael Bendis did in the Alias comic saying, "That's the beauty of working with Netflix. It's 13 [episodes]. There's no pilot and then getting feedback, reaction and ratings. You're in this bubble. So, what's the story you want to tell? Where do you want to go with [the characters]?"[45] Expanding on this, Rosenberg said that "we start off with [Bendis'] incredible source material and Jessica Jones isn’t as well known in the universe obviously as Daredevil and everyone else, so it really allows for a lot of freedom in there. So there are restrictions in terms of the Marvel [Cinematic U]niverse of certain rules of mythology, but within that it’s free pass".[9] Rosenberg noted that the final series was very different to the version she developed for ABC because of the different mythology of the MCU.[44]

Describing the tone of the series in July 2015, Head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb said, "When we first started talking about Daredevil, we promised that we were telling a story that was first a crime drama and then a superhero show. This is more of a psychological thriller. This speaks to when you think about what happened to Jessica and what sort of destroyed her life and how she tried to put it together, and then to have to confront the person who deconstructed her world, that’s a very powerful, emotional place to start from."[10] When asked about the adult nature of the series, including the use of sex, Rosenberg explained that Marvel would only not allow showing nudity and the use of the word 'fuck' in the series.[9] On approaching rape and trauma in the series, Rosenberg wanted to avoid actually showing rape, which she called "lazy storytelling" and often a way to "spice up" male characters, and preferred to just make the trauma a part of the characters' everyday lives rather than an "issue" for the series to tackle.[46]

Casting

In August 2014, Sarandos said on the status of the show, "Right now, the writers’ rooms are open and they’re looking at casting Jessica."[47] By November 2014, Krysten Ritter, Alexandra Daddario, Teresa Palmer, Jessica De Gouw and Marin Ireland were being tested for the role of Jessica Jones,[6] with Ritter having been auditioning since October.[9] Additionally, Lance Gross, Mike Colter and Cleo Anthony were in contention for the role of Luke Cage, which was envisioned as a recurring role in the series before headlining Luke Cage.[6] In December 2014, Ritter was cast as Jessica Jones. Ritter and Palmer had been the final candidates for the role, with both auditioning opposite Colter to test chemistry.[7] Later in the month, Colter was confirmed as Luke Cage.[13] The next month, David Tennant was cast as Kilgrave[30] and Rachael Taylor was cast as Patricia "Trish" Walker.[17] In early February 2015, Moss was cast,[26] with her role revealed that October to be a female version of male comic book character Jeryn Hogarth.[28] Also in the month, Eka Darville, Erin Moriarty, and Wil Traval were cast as Malcolm Ducasse,[8] Hope Shlottman,[8][24] and Will Simpson, respectively.[8][24]

Ritter, Taylor, and Moss will return for the second season.[48][49][50]

Design

Costumes

Stephanie Maslansky returned as the costume designer for Jessica Jones from Daredevil,[51] and was assisted on the first episode by Jenn Rogien, who crafted Jessica Jones' leather jacket, faded jeans, and boots costume.[52] Maslansky's fashion choices for each character were influenced by their comic incarnations, with her saying, "You really have to study your history of the original characters and see how they dress, how they were originally drawn, how they evolved through the years in these comics. And what you might discover is that, as illustrated, they kind of do wear the same thing all the time." Maslansky also stated that "everyone has a very specific look, and you can vary within that look, but it’s not over the top. It has to feel realistic and feel very grounded in this authentic reality we’ve created in Hell’s Kitchen."[53] On Jones's costume, Maslansky said she "considers her clothing to be an armor and a shield and something that helps her maintain a distance from other people and privacy. It keeps her from having to deal with the rest of humanity in a certain sort of way." At least 10 versions of Jones's jacket were made, which started as an Acne Studios leather motorcycle jacket that had any "bells and whistles and any additional superfluous design details" removed, while 20 pairs of jeans were used, with both being aged and distressed.[52]

The series' title sequence, created by Imaginary Forces, features artwork by David Mack, the cover artist for the original Alias comic.[54] The design incorporates the jazz-style theme from composer Sean Callery mixed with Mack's art, "taking [the viewer] around seedier, noir-esque corners of Hell’s Kitchen, as if through Jessica’s eyes themselves."[55]

Filming

Filming for the series takes place in New York City,[56] including areas of Brooklyn and Long Island City that still look like the old Hell’s Kitchen,[57] Douglaston, Queens,[58] as well as sound stage work.[57]

Music

At the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con International, Sean Callery revealed he was composing the music for the series.[59]

Visual effects

Visual effects for the series were completed by the New York studio Shade VFX, who also worked on Daredevil,[60] with the series featuring over 600 effects shots.[61] Bryan Godwin serves as visual effects supervisor.[62]

Marvel Cinematic Universe tie-ins

Jessica Jones is the second of the ordered Netflix series, after Daredevil, and will be followed by Luke Cage, and Marvel's Iron Fist, before leading into the miniseries, Marvel's The Defenders.[63][64] In November 2013, Disney CEO Bob Iger stated that, if the characters prove popular on Netflix, “It’s quite possible that they could become feature films,"[65] which Sarandos echoed in July 2015.[66] In August 2014, Vincent D'Onofrio, who played Wilson Fisk in Daredevil, stated that after the "series stuff with Netflix", Marvel has "a bigger plan to branch out".[67] In March 2015, Loeb spoke on the ability for the series to crossover with the MCU films and the ABC television series, saying, "It all exists in the same universe. As it is now, in the same way that our films started out as self-contained and then by the time we got to The Avengers, it became more practical for Captain America to do a little crossover into Thor 2 and for Bruce Banner to appear at the end of Iron Man 3. We have to earn that. The audience needs to understand who all of these characters are and what the world is before you then start co-mingling in terms of where it's going."[68]

On specific crossovers with Daredevil, which had completed its first season by the time Jessica Jones began casting, Loeb said "they’re in the same area. In some cases they are in the same neighborhood. One of the things that is important to us is, when you enter the police station, it’s the same police station. When you go to the hospital, you start to see the same people. [But] we don’t want people suddenly going, "Wait, is that Matt Murdock that’s walking down the street?" Because that’s going to feel odd, and in a weird way feel false."[10] On existing in the MCU, specifically in the same world as the other Netflix series, Rosenberg said, "Jessica Jones is a very, very different show than Daredevil. We exist in a cinematic universe, [and] the mythology of the universe is connected, but they look very different, tonally they’re very different… That was my one concern coming in: Am I going to have to fit into Daredevil or what’s come before? And the answer is no."[45]
