As the pace of news about the second series in Netflix's multi-series Marvel Cinematic Universe "Defenders" event has started to pick up speed, I thought I'd start a thread for discussion specific to this show.
For reference:
MARVEL is bringing four new live-action shows to Netflix leading to a "Defenders event" (Overarching thread)
Daredevil (Netflix) (Daredevil-specific thread)
New logo:
Release date:
Fourth Quarter (October-December) 2015
Synopsis:
Ever since her short-lived stint as a Super Hero ended in tragedy, Jessica Jones has been rebuilding her personal life and career as a hot-tempered, sardonic, badass private detective in Hell's Kitchen, New York City. Plagued by self-loathing, and a wicked case of PTSD, Jessica battles demons from within and without, using her extraordinary abilities as an unlikely champion for those in need... especially if they're willing to cut her a check.
Cast:
Starring Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage, Rachael Taylor as Trish "Patsy" Walker, Erin Moriarty as Hope, Eka Darville as Malcolm, Wil Traval as an NYPD officer with Carrie-Anne Moss as Harper and David Tennant as Kilgrave
Rosario Dawson to appear
Alias comic series co-creator Brian Michael Bendis on the show:

Showrunner:The show is so good. I have seen the first couple of episodes and because i didn’t work on it directly i can say this with full no ego fanfare: i loved it!!
and believe me, i was going to be the hardest on it. harder than any of you.
jessica is a part of my DNA. A bad jessica jones show would have hurt me deeply.
BUT it is faithful and lively and everything that I could personally have wanted from the show. the mean streets of marvel netflix from a different perspective than matt’s but at the same time… it all fits. just like the comics on their best day. and just like Netflix DD, the look of the show is cracklin’ noir but with its own palette.
