Netflix picks up "Marvel's Jessica Jones" for a second season following a successful first installment. The streaming service announces that the sophomore cycle of the superhero series starring Krysten Ritter is scheduled to premiere on March 18.

"There certainly is storytelling wise," said showrunner Melissa Rosenberg. "The question becomes is there actual time? There are logistics involved, because Defenders has to shoot by a certain time, contractually."

She added, "Actually, I'm not sure; I'm not at all involved in those conversations, much to my dismay. The first question is whether or not we will even get a second season. The second question is, if so, when? Will it be before The Defenders or after? I'd certainly love it to be before but there are things that play into that - time, availability."

"Jessica Jones" has become one of the most-watched shows last year with an average of 4.8 million total viewers in the adults 18-49 demographic. She is planned to team up later with fellow Hell's Kitchen heroes like Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Iron Fist in "The Defender".
