Overview

• The series formally folded key Netflix-era characters into MCU canon, bringing back Foggy Nelson, Karen Page and the Punisher alongside Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock.
• Krysten Ritter is confirmed to reprise Jessica Jones in Season 2 of the Disney+ series.
• Season 2 is scheduled to premiere in March 2026, and a third season entered active development ahead of that debut.
• A strike pause allowed studio leaders to review early episodes, after which head writers Matt Corman and Chris Ord were replaced by new showrunner Dario Scardapane following sustained notes from Vincent D'Onofrio and Charlie Cox.
• Season 1's visible tonal shifts stemmed from the midstream pivot, and separate reports point to a possible Elektra return in a future season, which remains unconfirmed.
