Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones returned in episode 6 of Daredevil: Born Again season 2, ending a yearslong gap for the former Netflix lead. (disneyplus.com) (theringer.com) Disney+ lists Daredevil: Born Again season 2 as an eight-episode run that premiered March 24, 2026, with the finale set for May 5. The service’s season page explicitly says Ritter is reprising Jessica Jones. (disneyplus.com) Marvel had announced Ritter’s casting on May 14, 2025, when she appeared with Charlie Cox at Disney’s upfront presentation. That made the return official nearly a year before the character’s first season 2 episode aired. (marvel.com) Disney+’s cast guide places Jessica back in New York as the private investigator behind Alias Investigations. The same guide says she “thought she was finished with New York City until Kingpin decided to play dictator.” (disneyplus.com) That setup fits the season’s broader plot. Disney+ says Mayor Wilson Fisk is “crush[ing] New York City underfoot” while Matt Murdock fights back from the shadows against Fisk’s anti-vigilante crackdown. (disneyplus.com) (marvel.com) Jessica’s return also reconnects two leads from Marvel’s old Defenders-era television slate. Marvel’s 2025 announcement noted that Ritter first played the character in 2015’s Jessica Jones and later appeared in The Defenders. (marvel.com) The Ringer’s episode recap says episode 6, “Requiem,” reintroduces Jessica before pairing her with Daredevil in a mission tied to Fisk’s weapons pipeline. The recap also says the episode gives Jessica a daughter named Danielle and a line about her powers becoming less reliable after childbirth. (theringer.com) Marvel has already signaled that Born Again will keep going beyond this reunion. At New York Comic Con 2025, Marvel said a third season was already in the works. (marvel.com) So the immediate news is simple: Jessica Jones is no longer just a casting promise. She is back on screen in Daredevil: Born Again, inside Marvel’s current Disney+ lineup.
