While many fans have taken to referencing it simply as Jessica Jones for some time, due to the slight oddness of its original name of AKA Jessica Jones from the comics, it looks like the shorter series name is what Marvel will be going with as the Netflix series begins its push. With the series page on Netflix, which features just a placeholder piece at the moment with a 2015 debut listed, it’s been confirmed via Marvel that they are indeed going to call it just Jessica Jones. Or, in Marvel tradition, Marvel’s Jessica Jones.

The series stars Krysten Ritter, David Tennant, Mike Colter, Rachael Taylor, Carrie-Anne Moss, Eka Darville, Erin Moriarty and Wil Traval.

The property from the Marvel Comics world was being developed as far back as 2010 with Melissa Rosenberg set to write and run it and it made it close to going into the 2012 season with ABC, but ultimately the studio passed on it for a variety of reasons. Now Rosenberg will be shepherding the series through the Netflix deal with Marvel and ABC Studios.

Jessica Jones is the second show to run in the development schedule after Daredevil and will be followed up by the Luke Cage and Iron Fist series that culminates in The Defenders.

Plot concept: After a tragic ending to her short-lived super hero stint, Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter, Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt. 23) is rebuilding her personal life and career as a detective who gets pulled into cases involving people with extraordinary abilities in New York City. An enigmatic figure from Jessica’s past, Kilgrave’s reappearance will send shockwaves through the former super hero’s world.
