The news is coming in fast on Marvel and Netflix's four upcoming TV series. Earlier today, we learned Drew Goddard would write the Daredevil TV series and now Deadline is reporting that Melissa Rosenberg will write Jessica Jones . If that sounds like familiar news, that's because Rosenberg was the writer attached to the Jessica Jones project (then called AKA Jessica Jones) at ABC a couple of years back, and actually wrote a pilot script that was never produced.

Deadline says Rosenberg -- whose eclectic resume includes writing for the first four seasons of Dexter and all five Twilight movies -- will executive produce and write Jessica Jones. The project is being redeveloped at Netflix, which makes sense, given Rosenberg's previous script was written with ABC in mind and long before the plan to launch the show alongside Daredevil, Iron Fist and Luke Cage shows, which will lead into a team-up miniseries, The Defenders.IGN's Roth Cornet spoke to Rosenberg early this year , when Jessica Jones' fate was still uncertain. At the time, Rosenberg said, "I don’t know if it’s an ABC show. It might be a cable show, really. The graphic novel is the first one that Marvel did that was meant to serve an adult audience. I toned it down a little bit for network, but it’s very, very easy to translate that into cable. Very easy. God I love that project." Obviously, Jessica Jones didn't end up at cable, but Netflix has been equally open to edgier material.Created by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos for the comic book Alias, Jessica Jones was a superhero turned private eye, who dealt with cases involving superheroes and villains. Rosenberg told IGN, “The graphic novel was so phenomenal that I really just wanted to bring that to the screen. It’s so raw, and I love this character that is kind of a B-level superhero. She’s not in one world or another, she’s a borderline alcoholic. She’s just a mess, but she’s driven by a need to do something greater, you know? She’s just this delicious character. Fun, you know? I’d love to write that character more, and I hope I get the opportunity. I’ve always said that I’d love to write the female Iron Man, this very f***ed-up female character that also wants to do some good. And that’s who she is.”
