'It's so great to be back, returning to Jessica after three seasons and The Defenders and now joining the MCU,' Ritter said (via Variety). '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!'
Jessica Jones is a private investigator with superhuman strength who runs her own detective agency. Ritter played the titular character in Jessica Jones for three seasons and one season of The Defenders. Both shows originated on Netflix. Years after its cancellation, Disney+ regained the licenses to Netflix's Marvel shows in March 2022, opening the door for their inclusion in the MCU.
Charlie Cox, who played Matt Murdock/Daredevil, reprised his role from Netflix's Daredevil for Spider-Man: No Way Home. Vincent D'Onofrio reprised his role of Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in Hawkeye.
Their returns set the stage for their eventual collision course in Daredevil: Born Again. The nine-episode first season wrapped up in April on Disney+. Several characters from the Netflix series appeared in the Disney+ series, including Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/Punisher.
Filming for season 2 is now underway and will stream on Disney+ in 2026.

"It's the second time in three years that I've been dealing with skin cancer," he told the outlet. "I will be undergoing treatment next week." Last month, Flair addressed the rumors in a post on X. "I'm Sorry People Have Been Misled By Social Media, But I Don't Have Cancer Of Any Kind," he wrote on May 5. "Thank You For Your Concerns And For Everyone Reaching Out. I Am Absolutely Fine, And Unfortunately, You'll Have To Live And Put Up With Me For Another 25 Years!" Flair announced his split from his fifth wife, Wendy Barlow, in September. In a post announcing the couple's divorce, he thanked Barlow for her support during a serious health complication in 2017. "I'll never be able to thank her enough for standing by my side through my terrible health crisis in 2017. She never left my side! And for that I will always be grateful," he said at the time. "We are working on different projects at the current time & it becomes difficult with my schedule & her schedule to make this work. "I wish her the best of luck with her projects, and I know that she supports mine." Flair was admitted to a hospital in Georgia in 2017, and according to Sports Illustrated's reporting at the time, he underwent surgery to remove part of his bowel. PEOPLE reported that doctors also found that he was in the early stages of kidney failure and on the verge of congestive heart failure, which were results of alcohol abuse.
