People were undoubtedly blown away by the first season of "Jessica Jones" for the show's strong women, which included Jessica herself, Trish Walker and Jeri Hogarth. It certainly looks like the Netflix series will continue to find powerful females to work on the second season.
Melissa Rosenberg has already admitted that all of the "Jessica Jones" Season 2 episodes will be directed by female directors. Will the show also include new heroines and villainesses?
'Jessica Jones' Season 2 Looking For Women Directors, But How About Female Characters And Villains?
It was no surprise when "Jessica Jones" showrunner Melissa Rosenberg confirmed that the 13 episodes of the second season will be helmed by female directors. After all, Season 1's best episodes were directed by S.J. Clarkson ("AKA Ladies Night" and "AKA Crush Syndrome") and Rosemary Rodriguez ("AKA 1,000 Cuts").
According to Variety, Rosenberg had initially planned to employ more women directors in "Jessica Jones" Season 2 but was given the idea to get an all-female roster which she immediately agreed with. Now fans are wondering if there will also be more female characters and villains on the show.
The first season of "Jessica Jones" already introduced a strong female character in Trish Walker's mother. The character was portrayed by Rebecca DeMornay and only appeared briefly in the series, but there are speculations that she will return in the second season.
However, it is still unclear whether Mrs. Walker will prove to be an ally to Jessica or someone who will torment Trish Walker. In addition to that, there is a possibility that another veteran actress will crossover from "The Defenders" to be one of the villains in "Jessica Jones" Season 2.
