Krysten Ritter to return as Jessica Jones in ‘Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2
Ritter, who originally portrayed the hard-edged private investigator in the Netflix series Jessica Jones from 2015 to 2019, expressed excitement about stepping back into the role. 'It is so great to be back,' she said on stage. 'Returning to Jessica after three seasons, and The Defenders, and now joining the MCU — this is going to be an incredible season.'
Her return marks another step in Marvel Studios' ongoing integration of Netflix's former Marvel characters into the mainline Marvel Cinematic Universe. Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock, better known as Daredevil, made a high-profile return in Daredevil: Born Again, and Ritter's reappearance brings another fan-favorite into the fold.
Season 1 of Born Again concluded with major developments, including Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk, now Mayor of New York, attempting to consolidate power through the Red Hook port. With Matt Murdock back in his red suit and aided by longtime allies Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) and Frank Castle, aka The Punisher (Jon Bernthal), the groundwork is laid for further conflict in Season 2.
Cox also teased upcoming changes, including finally donning the iconic black Daredevil suit with the 'interlocking Ds' — a detail longtime fans have been awaiting. 'Season 2 is heading in a bold new direction,' he noted.
With Ritter's return, Daredevil: Born Again expands its scope, reuniting key characters from Marvel's earlier Netflix era. Season 2 is currently in production.
