Jessica Jones is Netflix’s big Marvel female crime fighter, but will she return for a third season on Netflix? We’re looking into the future of Marvel on Netflix, plus when season 3 of Jessica Jones will be arriving on Netflix.
Just to catch you up in case you’re not familiar with Jessica Jones, the series is part of the Defenders, including Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. The Defenders universe has been on Netflix since 2015 but has ramped up productions in recent years, with new seasons coming out three times a year.
Will Jessica Jones be back for Season 3?
Official Renewal Status: Renewed (Last updated: 04/13/2018)
The series has now been given a third season meaning our release date prediction should hold true. Beyond an announcement, no other details were announced.
The official Jessica Jones Twitter account also confirmed the news.

Netflix Release Date
If a third season is on the cards, you can expect a hefty wait until the next season of Jessica Jones. The previous gap has been just shy of three years, and given the Netflix Marvel schedule, it won’t be too far off from that next time around, either.
Here’s the release schedule for Jessica Jones so far:
- Season 1 – November 20th, 2015
- Season 2 – March 8th, 2018
On the timeline of seasons 1 and 2, the third season would be on Netflix in 2020 at the very earliest. However, given the jump from 2 to 3 seasons a year, we think it may arrive by the end of 2019.
What about cameos?
Jessica Jones could premiere in Luke Cage season 2
Given Jessica now has connections to all three of the other Defenders, she’ll likely appear in those, too. Luke Cage is the most likely, given the pair had a romantic relationship. Luke Cage’s next season is due out in the summer.
Will Jessica Jones be Leaving Netflix?
As you may know, Disney is quite dramatically withdrawing its library from Netflix US this year. There’s been some confusion surrounding the status and future of the Marvel TV series on Netflix. One outlet has reported that it’s definite, and another reports that it’s not going to happen.
The truth is that the Marvel shows will almost certainly continue on Netflix. The streaming service is, in fact, the distributor of the movies, even though the brands belong to Marvel and are produced by ABC Studios. If Disney does decide to stop the series, it will stop producing future series rather than pulling them.
