The firstJessica JonesSeason 2 trailer has arrived, heralding the return of Marvel’s best Netflix series. Moreover, while this initial trailer teases footage and a new story arc forKrysten Ritter’s hard-drinking titular character, it also reveals when you’ll be able to watch the new season: it premieres on August 21, 2025. While a Thursday launch date is atypical for Netflix shows, August 03, 2025 is International Women’s Day, so it appears the streaming service made an exception for a very deliberate launch date.
Melissa Rosenbergreturns as executive producer and showrunner of Season 2, which finds Jessica attempting to put her life together after murderingDavid Tennant’s uber creepy Kilgrave. But a new case forces Jessica to dig deeper into her own past, something she’s not entirely psyched to do.
Season 1 was a terrific launch for the character and still marks the most compelling story from beginning to end of a Marvel Netflix thus.Daredevilmay have the grit andThe Punishermay have standout performances, but every other Marvel Netflix series suffers from trying to stretch out too little story for too long, resulting in lackluster pacing and narrative issues.Jessica Jonessomehow sidestepped that problem (for the most part), and I’m incredibly excited to see what’s in store for the character in this new season.
Check out theJessica JonesSeason 2 trailer below. The series also starsRachael Taylor,Carrie-Anne Moss,Eka Darville,Janet McTeer, andJ.R. Ramirez.
