Jessica Jones has already been renewed for a third season but no matter what the future holds in store for the hero, we now know that it won't include showrunner Melissa Rosenberg. It's been confirmed today that she's set to leave the series after season three because she's struck a deal with Warner Bros. Television. They outbid Netflix for her services in a deal said to be somewhere in the eight-figure range.
She'll not create and develop projects for the studio and if there is ultimately a fourth season of Jessica Jones, a new showrunner will take over while Rosenberg will still be credited as creator and executive producer. She's been attached to the Marvel TV show since it was titled A.K.A. Jessica Jones and was heading to ABC and Rosenberg had this to say about her departure from the popular TV series.
"All of my attention remains with the extraordinary cast, writers and production team of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, until the completion of season three. It continues to be a career highlight working with my partners at Marvel Television and Netflix. We’re extraordinarily grateful to the viewers who have supported us every step of the way on Jessica’s journey, which is so beautifully realized by Krysten Ritter and the amazing cast including Rachael Taylor, Eka Darville and Carrie-Anne Moss. We have so many talented storytellers in every area of this show, who I’m honored to call friends and collaborators. As I look ahead after this season, I’m thrilled that I will be able to explore new projects with the talented team at Warner Bros. Television and push myself in new challenging creative directions."
