Krysten Ritter returns as Jessica Jones in Daredevil: Born Again.

 Netflix

Krysten Ritter will be returning as superhero Jessica Jones in the second season of Daredevil: Born Again alongside Charlie Cox's Daredevil, Disney announced during Marvel's section of Disney Upfront 2025 in May.

"Hey hey, JJ," Ritter wrote on Instagram May 13, "I can't WAIT for Jessica Jones to get back in the MCU action with Daredevil."

Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again will be released in March 2026. According to Instagram posts where Ritter and Cox have been tagged in by a fitness coach, both were already filming together as of last month.

Ritter starred as Jessica Jones during a three-season run of her titular show on Netflix, which ran from 2015 to 2019. It moved from Netflix to Disney Plus in 2022 and was rebranded as "Marvel's Jessica Jones" along with the 2010s Netflix versions of Daredevil, Punisher, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders.

Daredevil: Born Again launched on Disney Plus in March this year, with CNET senior editor and head of streaming coverage Kourtnee Jackson saying it lives up to the hype of the original Daredevil Netflix series and its comic book origin.

"Daredevil: Born Again retains the same bite, viciousness and brilliance of the original and earns every bit of that TV-MA rating," Jackson wrote in her review. "The show packs in the shocks, drama, graphic, bloody brutality and a dose of introspection."
