Krysten admitted she'd never read the Jessica Jones comics prior to landing her role, but that she now couldn't stop.

'I wasn't [a fan], but I am now reading the comics and devouring them. And [I'm] hooked,' she said. 'I don't think I've been so hooked on something since Serial.'

'So now I feel that way about the Jessica Jones series. I can't wait. I mean, as soon as we're done today, that's what I am going to be doing. I'm really excited about Jessica Jones. It's so cool. I can't wait to watch it.'
