Disney+ is reportedly developing a new Jessica Jones series, which would mark her return to the small screen. This news comes after the cancellation of the previous show's second season in 2022.
Jessica Jones was created by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli, and the character first appeared in comic books in 1995 as the wife of Luke Cage. She later became a key character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), starring in a Netflix series that ran for three seasons from 2015 to 2019.
The new Jessica Jones series is said to be set after the events of Avengers: Secret Wars, and will feature the scrapped Strange Academy series rebranded as Champions. However, it's unclear what this means for the overall storyline and whether any characters from the previous show will make a return.
The decision to revive Jessica Jones was reportedly made by Chloé Zhao, who expressed her passion for the character and the world she inhabited in a recent interview with Screen Rant. Gellar revealed that it took three years of development time to get the new series greenlit, during which the team honed in on what the story needed to be.
Jessica Jones/Strange Academy/Champions will serve as a "continuation" of the original show's storyline, rather than a reboot or sequel. As such, Gellar emphasized that it would explore the aftermath of Buffy's departure and delve into the world that remains after her absence.

! I've always been a fan of the character, she's so complex and fierce 
. The fact that it'll be set after Avengers: Secret Wars is pretty cool too, I love how Marvel movies tie everything together 
. I'm curious to know what happened to some of the other characters from the original show, are they all coming back or will there be new ones introduced? 
Also, I have to wonder what this means for the MCU in general, is it going to connect with the other shows and movies? 
Can't wait to see what Chloé Zhao and the team come up with! 
! Can't wait to see what kind of story they come up with, fingers crossed it'll be just as dark & gritty as the original 
.
I love how they're rebranding Strange Academy as Champions, it's like a breath of fresh air. And can we talk about how excited I am for some post-Buffy Jones drama? 
The storylines are gonna get so juicy! One thing that bugs me is the timeline - what does it mean for the original show's storyline to be a continuation? Are we getting all the answers or more questions?! 
I loved the original show so much! The new series is gonna be set after Avengers: Secret Wars which I'm kinda excited about, I mean more weirdness is always welcome in the MCU. But seriously tho what's up with the Champions part? Is that like a whole new thing or are they just gonna use it as a way to connect to other Marvel shows? I need some clarity on that ASAP 
. I mean, what really happened to Jessica Jones? Was she actually killed off or did she just 'disappear'? 
And now, she's back with some new team called Champions... that's gotta be connected to the Strange Academy thing... but why? What's the real motive here? 
This whole thing feels like a smokescreen to me. They want us to focus on this new series so we forget about all the unanswered questions from the original show... no way, man! I'll be keeping a close eye on this one 
.
... on one hand, i think it's dope to see jess back on screen but like what's the point if we ain't gettin nothin new lol? they better bring some heavy hitters from the original show or at least do somethin fresh with the storylines. and strange academy/champions thing sounds like a total mashup... is this gonna be that weird mcu crossover mess 
New Jessica Jones series coming! Finally 
i'm kinda stoked about this new direction though, it sounds like they're building on the original story but taking it in a different way. 3 years of development? that's a long time to get something just right 
also, chloe zhao is involved which is awesome, she's all about exploring complex themes and i think that would be really cool for this show 
. one thing's for sure, this is gonna be some wild ride 
. Three years of development time is a big deal, so I'm hoping they've got some real gems up their sleeve. The fact that it's going to explore the aftermath of Buffy's departure makes me think they're gonna dive deep into some heavy themes 
. Can't wait to see what Gellar and co. have in store for us! 
i heard it's been 3 years since dis was first planned lol what a long time to develop something but i guess its worth it cuz we need more jessica jones in our lives 
. The fact that they're gonna keep the story going with a continuation vibe rather than a reboot is super cool, tbh 
!
. I mean, Chloé Zhao likes the character and all, but that's not enough to guarantee a good show. Can't we just leave it alone after three seasons? 
, and now we get to see our girl back on screen fighting crime and dealing with all that crazy Luke Cage drama 
, and I know she's going to bring so much depth and emotion to this show. I'm all about that continuation vibe btw
