Daredevil Born Again Season 2 — Krysten Ritter Returns as Jessica Jones, Promising a Darker, Deeper, and More Grit-Filled MCU Comeback

Marvel fans, get ready to dust off those leather jackets. Jessica Jones is making her long-awaited return. Krysten Ritter has officially confirmed she’s stepping back into the role for Daredevil-Born Again Season 2, dropping on Disney+ in March 2026. It’s been six years since we last saw her as the hard-drinking, no-nonsense private eye in Netflix’s Jessica Jones, and she says this comeback is equal parts creatively rewarding and straight-up exciting.

Going “Deeper” With Jessica

In a recent chat, Ritter said this new chapter allows her to delve into Jessica in ways she has never been able to before. “It’s everything an actor dreams of, going deeper with her,” she shared, her excitement pretty much jumping off the page.

So yes, the grit, the dry wit, the trademark “don’t mess with me” energy, all still here. But this time, there’s more emotional depth under the surface. And of course, she’ll still be “kicking ass” while making her presence felt in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

From Netflix Streets to Disney+ Scale

Moving from Netflix to Disney+ is a significant transition. Ritter described the new production Daredevil-Born Again Season as “gritty” but also “big”, the kind of scale where you can almost feel the weight of the world in each scene. She credits the shift to a stellar crew and the easy, lived-in chemistry with Charlie Cox, who’s back as Daredevil. According to Ritter, once they were on set together for Daredevil-Born Again Season, it was like they’d never missed a beat.

Jessica’s Official MCU Moment

This isn’t just a return, it’s Jessica’s first official MCU appearance. Ritter says it’s all thanks to the fans who never let the character fade away, keeping her alive through years of speculation, rewatches, and online love. She still calls Jessica “one of the coolest female characters ever”, flawed, stubborn, and deeply human in ways superheroes rarely get to be.

What to Expect in Daredevil-Born Again Season 2

Marvel’s keeping the plot details locked up tighter than the Hell’s Kitchen crime scene files, but Ritter is promising layered storytelling, adrenaline-pumping action, and a pivotal role for Jessica among the MCU’s street-level heroes. She’s already calling 2026 a “banner year,” hinting this return could be a turning point for where Jessica stands in the Marvel world.
