We’re creeping ever closer to the November 20th premiere date for Marvel and Netflix’s latest series, Jessica Jones. Today, we’re given our first official look at the eponymous hero played by Krysten Ritter, as well as our first official look at Mike Colter as Luke Cage, who is due his own Netflix series in the immediate future. Of course, one could view this series as a Breaking Bad spinoff — having been left for dead by the villainous Walter White, Jane Margolis moves to New York City where she undertakes a whole new crime-fighting persona as Jessica Jones (this stuff really writes itself). I kid.
Following the success of Daredevil, Marvel and Netflix have a lot of expectations to meet, even for a somewhat minor character like Jessica Jones. We’ll see, True Believers, if Marvel and Netflix can get two hits in a row when Jessica Jones debuts on November 20th.
The official synopsis for Jessica Jones:
After a tragic ending to her short-lived Super Hero stint, Jessica Jones is rebuilding her personal life and career as a detective who gets pulled into cases in New York City.
Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) is joined by an amazing cast including David Tennant (Kilgrave), Mike Colter (Luke Cage), Rachael Taylor (Trish Walker), Carrie-Anne Moss, Eka Darville, Erin Moriarty, and Wil Traval, among others.
