Trailer Watch: Krysten Ritter Seeks Answers in “Jessica Jones” Season 2

“Jessica Jones”

Jessica Jones’ tolerance for bullshit remains delightfully low in a new trailer for the second season of the Netflix hit. Deadpan as ever, the superhero (Krysten Ritter) is quick to take down everyone and anyone standing in her way. When a competitor makes her an offer to absorb her PI agency and tells her that he “never takes no for an answer,” she calls his stance “rape-y.” But Jessica’s day job isn’t her main priority. The sophomore season of “Jessica Jones” sees the hard-drinking anti-heroine investigating her own past to better understand her powers.

“My whole family was killed in a car accident, someone did horrific experiments on me, and now this super vigilante shit keeps coming at me,” she says. By her own account, Jessica has “17 years of questions and they are deep.” And it sounds like this season is going to get even darker than the first, since Jessica is proclaiming that “it takes a monster to stop a monster” — presumably referring to a killer mentioned in the spot.

In the first season of the series, Jessica took on her abuser, Kilgrave (David Tennant, “Doctor Who”), a man capable of controlling minds — including hers.

Created by Melissa Rosenberg (“Dexter”), “Jessica Jones” returns to Netflix March 8. Every episode this season is directed by a woman. Check out the trailer to learn more about the origin of Jessica’s superpowers and to see a familiar face take on the role of her “sidekick.”
