Jessica Jones was one of five Marvel series initially announced for Netflix and the second in a row, after Marvel's Daredevil, to get renewed for Season 2 after a well-received first season.Daredevil: Season 2 is set to debut on Netflix on March 18th, followed by Luke Cage (starring Jessica Jones' Mike Colter), which is now in production, later this year. The third Netflix/Marvel series, Iron Fist, recently found its showrunner in Dexter alum Scott Buck , though no casting has been announced yet, so it remains to be seen if we'll get Iron Fist: Season 1 or Jessica Jones: Season 2 first on Netflix before The Defenders series teams up all four Marvel characters.I asked Netflix's CCO Ted Sarandos when we might see Jessica Jones and he says it will all depend on the scheduling of The Defenders, which itself is still to be determined. So whether we'll see the new Jessica season before or after The Defenders is still a question.It was recently revealed that Netflix is also developing The Punisher as a potential series , spinning off the character after his introduction in Daredevil: Season 2. However, Sarandos wouldn't comment on that today, saying for now they are sticking to their initial five-series plan.Following the panel, Sarandos slightly elaborated on talk of The Punisher and Elektra spinoff shows. "All the characters that spin out in that universe could spin out," he said. "Any character that's in there is on the table, but nothing to talk about."Beyond Daredevil: Season 2, Jessica Jones: Season 2 and Luke Cage, Netflix is in production on Iron Fist (casting is "in progress," said Sarandos) and The Defenders. Asked whether there could reach a day where so many properties means there will be more than two Marvel Netflix shows premiering in a given year, Sarados said that is not the intent."It's possible," he said. "Right now, these are produced at the scale of a major film, so they're long production times and long post times. In some cases we have character crossover, which makes it more difficult to manage production in a way to jam two or three in. It's not the goal, certainly, to put more than one or two out a year."
