Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are buzzing with excitement following the announcement that Krysten Ritter will return as the fierce Jessica Jones in the much-anticipated second season of Daredevil: Born Again. This thrilling revelation was unveiled at Disney’s recent upfront presentation, igniting enthusiasm among viewers who have long awaited her comeback.
Ritter first left her mark on television as Jessica Jones in the Netflix series, which aired for three captivating seasons between 2015 and 2019. The show depicted her evolution from an ex-superhero grappling with her past to a determined private investigator who launched her firm, Alias Investigations. Along the way, she teamed up with iconic characters like Daredevil (played by Charlie Cox), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Danny Rand (Finn Jones) in the action-packed miniseries The Defenders.
As part of the highly acclaimed Daredevil: Born Again, Jessica Jones is joined by several beloved characters from the Netflix series. Alongside Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock, Vincent D’Onofrio returns to reprise his role as the menacing Wilson Fisk. Fans can also expect appearances from Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, Wilson Bethel as Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter, Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk, and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, the Punisher. With Ritter back in the fold, speculation is rife about the potential return of Luke Cage and Danny Rand—could another thrilling reunion be just around the corner?
As production for the new season ramps up, fans are eagerly keeping an eye on the clock, hoping for a release in March 2026. New talent is being introduced to the mix as well, with notable names like Matthew Lillard and Lili Taylor joining the cast. While the details of Lillard’s role remain a mystery, Taylor is rumored to portray a political opponent to Fisk, promising to heighten the show’s already intense narrative.
The official plot summary for Daredevil: Born Again teases a gripping storyline: “Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer with heightened senses, strives for justice while managing the intricate dynamics of his law firm, all against the backdrop of Wilson Fisk’s political maneuvers in New York. As their histories intertwine, a showdown becomes inevitable.”
Our own Alex Maidy shared his enthusiasm for what lies ahead, stating, “After watching the first season of Daredevil: Born Again, I have no doubt that fans will be eager to see how the story unfolds next. Whether through tantalizing mid-credit moments or the suspenseful weekly developments, this series keeps its audience on the edge of their seats. It could even reignite some discussions from past seasons, sparking debates among long-standing Daredevil followers and newer viewers alike. It’s pure joy to see Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio back on screen together. Prepare yourself for some of the most electrifying scenes we’ve witnessed outside of Deadpool and Wolverine!
