"Jessica Jones" is slated to feature the acts of "Breaking Bad" alumni, Krysten Ritter, who plays the titular character.
The story will follow Jessica after "the tragic end of her short-lived stint as a superhero." Viewers will find Jones in New York City working as a private detective dealing and helping people with extraordinary abilities.
One interesting fact about the forthcoming show is that it is set in NYC's Hell's Kitchen, which is the home of the blind vigilante Matt Murdock.
Melissa Rosenberg, who recently spoke during the Television Critics Association Press tour for Netflix and Marvel, said that although the show shares a lot of similar aspects with its brother series, "Daredevil" (played by Charlie Cox), there would still be a huge difference.
"'Jessica Jones' is a very different show from 'Daredevil,'" the showrunner was quoted as saying (via Slashfilm). "We exist in a cinematic universe, the mythology of the universe is connected, but it will look very different. Tonally they're very different. If you pick up Bendis' 'Alias' and pick up 'Daredevil,' they're wildly different. That was my one concern. Would I have to fit in with 'Daredevil?' The answer was, 'No, we're hiring you for your point of view.'"
"Jessica Jones" is slated to hit Netflix later this year.
