Jessica Jones is coming to an end with its upcoming third season, and it seems they’re bringing back the show’s most iconic villain for the final bow.

Netflix has killed off its partnership with Marvel by axing Jessica Jones and The Punisher, following previous cancelled casualties with Daredevil, Luke Cage and Iron Fist.

Jessica Jones season three will mark the official end when it releases later this year, with the show known for the titular character’s complex relationship with Kilgrave (David Tennant).


Despite Kilgrave being killed off in the first season, it seems he could be back for another appearance after returning as a hallucination in season two.



After a fan on Twitter tweeted ‘Goodbye again, Kilgrave,’ showrunner Melissa Rosenberg replied: ‘Not quite yet!’

It’s unclear whether this means he’ll return as a hallucination or even, possibly, be resurrected entirely, but an appearance was perhaps to be expected for the show’s swansong.

Tennant himself has a busy schedule ahead, starring in Neil Gaiman’s live-action version of Good Omens opposite Michael Sheen and voicing more Doctor Who audio adventures.

Jessica Jones season three is set to be released on Netflix later this year.
