We've also been given a synopsis revealing the first plot details, which are as follows:

"New York City private investigator Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) is beginning to put her life back together after murdering her tormenter, Kilgrave.

"Now known throughout the city as a super-powered killer, a new case makes her reluctantly confront who she really is while digging deeper into her past to explore the reasons why."

New episodes of Jessica Jones began shooting in the spring of 2017, but the new season isn't expected to launch on Netflix until 2018.

We don't know exactly what to expect from season two, although series creator Melissa Rosenberg revealed it would tap more into Jessica's backstory, and the demons she had long before David Tennant's sadistic Kilgrave came along.

"I just want to continue with Jessica's character – she's very damaged, and the damage goes beyond Kilgrave, so there's a lot to mine from in her backstory and her present day situation."

It's also been confirmed that season two will be more loosely based on the comics, with Rosenberg explaining: "I will always use as much as I can from the books, but unfortunately we've gone away from that mythology.

"The MCU is very different, and we're probably not going to be able to do parallel storylines. But I take every little piece I can [from the comics], because it's so good," she added.

Jessica Jones returns to Netflix in 2018.
