JESSICA JONES May Not Stream In 2015

JESSICA JONES May Not Stream In 2015

Netflix's Chief Content Officer clarifies previous remarks about the release window between the premieres for Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders.

Yesterday, Netflix's CCO  Ted Sarandos spoke about the streaming service's desire to have multiple seasons of each of the current live-action Marvel TV shows in development.  However, his comments about the time between when each show would premiere on Netflix created a bit of a stir.   Well, now we have a few more words from Sanados that may shed a bit more light on the subject, particularly on when Jessica Jones (the next Marvel Netflix series after Daredevil) will air.  "Jessica Jones hasn’t started production yet, [and] a lot happens from the first day on the set to the last day of production. So we want to give [each show] enough room and enough time to make a great show, so I don’t want to set up a rigid timetable and deliver a show every eight months or every twelve months, but you should expect them about a year apart.”

As for whether Jessica Jones would premiere in 2015 as initially reported, Sarandos stated, "It’s too hard to say now."

If each show premieres a year apart, what does that mean for the multiple seasons that Sarandos spoke of yesterday.  Does Daredevil Season 2 have to wait until after The Defenders miniseries airs or will it premiere next year with Jessica Jones?  Perhaps if Daredevil proves a successful venture for Netflix it will lead to a quicker production turnaround for his NYC superhero comrades?

Well, it should. The longer the others release, the longer it takes until DD S2, which is currently looking like 2018 at the earliest.

A..year...apart...



So by what? 2019 we'll have the defenders film?

And what about multiple seasons? Will they air along with the releases of other shows?

The good news is that Defenders is a one and done (for now?). Once that's over, they can develop multiple seasons for solo series faster.

Can't wait for it, hoping to see Purple Man in season 1

And, Krysten Ritter is really hot, I want to see more of her

But hey, we're getting basically a 13 hour movie to hold us off right? This means that if any marvel (netflix) character appears in civil war the only hero who would be able to would basically be daredevil. Even if it is just a cameo.

BvS needs 2 years of post production, a year for this is nothing.

I hope you know that's Danny Rand not Matt Murdock on the image you posted.

So based on what you're saying @Kurne is that the multiple seasons won't come until after Defenders?

But what about Luke Cage and Iron Fist?! How long will it take for their shows to get released?!

Hey it will be worth the wait in the end. Just give us some good quality shows that are worth the wait!

Wow bummersons. I don't mind them being spaced out a bit. I kinda seems like no real plan for return seasons, just one-shot seasons. You would think, with different writers and crews, they could do a couple a year.

@TheRationalNerd

Say Jessica Jones does stream this fall. That's 2 in one year. They're likely to do the same for Luke Cage and Iron Fist in 2016. Then you have the Defenders in 2017-- which I did not realise would have the year alone, so maybe DD S2 could air in that fall.

So yes, I do believe we'll have to wait for multiple seasons until after Defenders. I don't see them shoving S2's of DD and JJ into 2016 when they already have Luke Cage and Iron Fist to get off the ground.

I haven't read Civil War since 2012 so my memory is very fuzzy. I had no idea. Found this explanation from a user online.

"It was part of a plan to convince people that Matt Murdock was not Daredevil. Since Daredevil has no signature powers, it was relatively easy for Daniel Rand (who is secretly Iron Fist, master martial artist) to take on the role. There are a number of story arcs going on including the Civil War arc. During this time Murdock is in witness protection, in prison, trying to avoid being killed by all of the criminals he has helped put behind bars."

I highly doubt they'd go that deep, they change stuff from the comics all the time you know? Who says it has to be Rand you know? I just would want Murdock to be Cap's Lawyer when/if he has to go to the courthouse at the end of the film.

Da fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkk?!! Naw. That's too long. They gonna slow burn EVERYTHING with these Netflix shows. Ugh the wait is gonna suck

I REALLY hope (and actually believe) we'll get a bevy of marvel characters besides the main set. There will be intermixing I'm sure. Given how long until Jessica Jones films, we probably know her actress because she'll appear in daredevil.

See, this is precisely what I've been telling people this entire time... These Marvel Netflix "TV shows" aren't really TV shows... They are simply 13-hour movies, or a maxi-series.

They filmed them all from start to finish, and they are releasing them all in one lump sum. How on earth is that a TV show?

Plus, DD was announced d@mn near 3 years ago. DC has produced 3 TV shows (4, if you count the current season of Arrow) in the time it took Marvel to produce this one show.

So basically Marvel is trying to get around the TV format, by going the Netflix route. It's like movies and TV all in one.

And hot, she's really hot, haha

But, yeah, I think she'll be a cool fit for the role, I really hope they go with Purple Man as the villain though, that would be amazing

Yesterday and today they've stressed that they're only focused on getting these shows off the ground, and need the time to do that. Regardless of whether DD is a success, I believe they'll want the same amount of time/focus to get LC and IF working (too).

But look, I'm not fond on the team(s) working on this. Maybe they can do S2 next year.

Makes total sense when you put it that way. I could see that happening.

Quantitative and Quality is all I want,
I'm willing to wait.
We still got Arrow, Flash, DareDevil (soon) and SuperGirl (coming soon as well)
And let's not forget the movies.

Saddening, but it may need to be that way.
