The series continued with two more seasons and the team-up show The Defenders. However, as Netflix's era with original Marvel content drew to a close, the future of Ritter's character seemed uncertain.

The landscape changed in 2021 when Disney regained the rights to certain Marvel characters, including Jessica Jones. Following Charlie Cox's return in Spider-Man: No Way Home and his starring role in Daredevil: Born Again, speculation grew about the potential return of other Netflix heroes. With Jon Bernthal's Punisher playing a significant role in Season 1, it's fitting that Ritter is now confirmed for Season 2.

Ritter's last appearance as Jessica Jones was in Season 3, which aired in 2019. Her comments at the upfront presentation hint at a broader future for the character within the MCU, though for now, fans can look forward to seeing her in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. While Disney has not yet set a release date, showrunner Dario Scardapane has indicated that new episodes will be available in March 2026.
