Netflix has gifted the internet with a new peek at one of its highly-anticipated series. The streaming video-on-demand platform dropped the official trailer for Marvel’s Jessica Jones on October 23, 2015.
Based on the early-2000s Marvel comic book series Alias by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos, Jessica Jones features Krysten Ritter as the titular character who’s working as a private investigator and trying to hide from the horrors of her superhero past. The two-minutes-30-seconds clip is reminiscent of the dark Daredevil trailer and shows a haunted Jones dealing with the psychological aftermath of her days being mind-controlled by Kilgrave (played by David Tennant). But when the villain shows up again in her life, Jones must work to take him down.
The official Jessica Jones trailer certainly boasts a darker tone than that of the
two teasers Netflix previously released for the upcoming series. The new trailer also introduces viewers to Jones’s friend and eventual love interest Luke Cage (played by Mike Colter), who will boast his own Netflix show in the future. Fans should start to see more and more connections between all of Netflix’s Marvel series, as the streaming giant has plans to release Iron Fist and then The Defenders, all of which were shot in the characters’ native New York City thanks to a $200 million, year-long production.Jessica Jones is executive produced by Melissa Rosenberg (Dexter), Liz Friedman (Elementary), and Marvel TV lead Jeph Loeb (Daredevil, S.H.I.E.L.D.). All 13 episodes of the first season of Jessica Jones arrive on Netflix on November 20, 2015.
