With all the casting happening on Marvel’s “Luke Cage” — Frank Whaley just joined the cast yesterday — one’s got to wonder: what’s going on with the Netflix show “Jessica Jones” which is scheduled to hit far before Marvel’s first African-American super hero solo TV show. Well, glad you asked. Marvel announced this morning that “Marvel’s Jessica Jones” will debut on Netflix, later this fall, on November 20.
The Netflix original series "Marvel’s Jessica Jones" is the second of four epic live-action adventure series (Marvel’s "Daredevil," which launched April 10th, Marvel’s "Luke Cage" and Marvel’s "Iron Fist," all leading up to the teaming of the main characters in Marvel’s "The Defenders") to premiere only on Netflix. It is a suspenseful, edgy look into the life of Jessica Jones, one of the most popular new Marvel characters of the last decade, as she faces demons from within and without. The drama will premiere with thirteen one-hour episodes
For those of you that set your watch to these things, Netflix says it will release it exactly at 12:01am PT in all territories where Netflix is available. They’ve also released a brief, footage-less teaser trailer. Details of the cast and synopsis below.
