Following the early teaser and recent batch of stills from the upcoming Marvel show Jessica Jones, a new trailer has been released. It’s the first look at actual footage from the series, which will be released onto Netflix in November. Check it out below:
Like Netflix’s other Marvel show, Daredevil, Jessica Jones takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, alongside Marvel Studios’ blockbuster movies, and the shows Agents Of SHIELD, and Agent Carter.
It stars Krysten Ritter as a failed superhero who has abandoned the crimefighting life to become a private detective in New York. Former Doctor Who actor David Tennant co-stars as the villainous Kilgrave (aka The Purple Man), alongside The Matrix‘s Carrie-Anne Moss and Mike Colter. Colter plays Luke Cage, a character that will also be getting his own Netflix show in 2016.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in July, showrunner Melissa Rosenberg talked about the title character and the choice of Ritter to portray her. “She’s funny! She’s dark! She’s the real deal,” Rosenberg said. “She’s utterly compelling, both the actress and the character. The first time I saw [Ritter] do drama was Breaking Bad. And she was just a guest star. We pushed her to some really dark, emotional places, and she just keeps going there. She’s got incredible range.
“Our show has plenty of action, but it’s not about the action,” Rosenberg added. “It’s about the character, it’s about her emotional arc, and she’s not a ninja. She never studies martial arts. She’s a brawler.”
The first season of Jessica Jones will feature 13 episodes, all of which hit Netflix on November 20, 2015.
