Deadline is reporting that Melissa Rosenberg, who was involved with the “AKA Jessica Jones” Marvel TV project back when it was at ABC, will be involved as a writer and executive producer for the Netflix take on Jessica Jones. As usual with Marvel projects, this is not yet confirmed by the studio, but as we’ve known for a while, Deadline has reliable sources.
This news comes only a few hours after it was revealed that Drew Goddard would be writing and showrunning Daredevil.
We spoke with Melissa Rosenberg about Jessica Jones earlier this year, at a premiere party for the short-lived series Red Widow. Regarding hope for the future for the project, Rosenberg said she “would love it.”
“I love that series [the Marvel Comic Alias], I love the pilot I write for it… but its home is not on ABC, but we’re certainly searching for another home for it,” she said back in March.
Jessica Jones, the character, is a former superheroine turned detective. The character first appeared in the comic book series Alias by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos.
