'''''Jessica Jones''''' is a 2015 Creator/{{Netflix}} original series based off the Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}} comic book ''ComicBook/{{Alias}}'' and developed by Melissa Rosenberg. It is the second entry in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse's ''Series/TheDefenders'' mini-series franchise, after ''Series/{{Daredevil 2015}}''.
Its story revolves around ComicBook/JessicaJones, a [[RetiredBadass former superhero]] who turned to PrivateDetective work after a [[DarkAndTroubledPast traumatic incident]] ended her crime-fighting career.
The show stars Creator/KrystenRitter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as ComicBook/{{Luke Cage|HeroForHire}}, Rachael Taylor as [[ComicBook/PatsyWalker Trish "Patsy" Walker]], Creator/EkaDarville as Malcolm Powder, Creator/CarrieAnneMoss as Harper and Creator/DavidTennant as Zebediah Kilgrave, otherwise known as the Purple Man.
----
!!''Jessica Jones'' contains examples of:
* AdaptationDyeJob: Photos from the filming set indicate that Ritter and Taylor are keeping their natural hair color, which means Jessica's hair will be pitch-black while Trish will have blonde hair. In the comics, Jessica is a brunette while Hellcat is a redhead.
** Also from set photo, Kilgrave won't have his purple skin in this version. He still retains his purple suit from the comic though.
* AdaptedOut:
** [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Carol Danvers]] has her role as Jessica's best friend [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute taken by Trish Walker]]. This is likely due to the character being tied up in the upcoming ''Captain Marvel'' movie.
** [[ComicBook/XMen Jean Grey]] won't appear in the series, as the right of the X-Men is [[ScrewedByTheLawyers tangled with Fox]]. In the comic, she had a [[SmallRoleBigImpact brief but crucial]] appearance in being able to help Jones to resist Kilgrave's power.
** Similarly, her high-school crush on [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]] will most likely be cut out due to the AgeLift [[YoungerAndHipper they're giving to the character]]; Jessica is in her mid-twenties in this series, while Peter is apparently still in high school at this time. Spidey's implementation into the MCU was announced just as production on this series began, so he's not being dropped out because he can't be used, but because he doesn't quite fit the bill for the series.
* AdaptationNameChange
** Patsy Walker is renamed "Trish Walker," with Patsy being an AffectionateNickname her fans use. Can be counted as a Subversion, since she still retains her comic book real name Patricia.
** Minor example, but it seems the spelling of Purple Man's last name has changed from "Killgrave" to "Kilgrave."
* AgeLift: In the comics, Jessica was in high school with [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]]. Here, she's in her mid-twenties, while Marvel's stated Peter will still be in high school in the MCU.
* BigBad: Kilgrave.
* BrokenBird: What Kilgrave did to Jessica severely damaged her on a psychological level, and dampened her ability to use her powers.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Promotional materials refer to the Purple Man as "Kilgrave," which is a variation of his last name in the comics (his name is usually Zebediah Killgrave).
* DarkerAndEdgier: Like ''Daredevil'', the show will have a more mature tone and darker content than the network shows like ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' and ''Series/AgentCarter''. This was one of the roadblocks in getting the show made, as Rosenberg says ABC was not keen on some of the heavier themes the series concerns. Ironically, ''Alias'' was a part of a series of comics meant to be this for the Marvel Comic Universe.
* EarlyBirdCameo: The show will introduce Luke Cage into the MCU ahead of the debut of his solo series.
* MindRape: Kilgrave did this to Jessica, which is why she retired from being a full-blown superhero.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The villain Kilgrave's name is pronounced "Kill Grave". Yeah.
* RaceLift: Malcolm is white in the comics, but black in the TV adaptation.
* ShellShockedVeteran: WordOfGod is that Jessica suffers from PTSD as a result of the horrific incident that ended her career.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Trish is obviously meant to replace [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Carol Danvers]]' role (as Jessica's best friend) from the ''ComicBook/{{Alias}}'' comic, but she could also be replacing ComicBook/SpiderWoman's function there, too - which makes sense, given how she recently aided ComicBook/SheHulk as her private investigator in the 2014 run of that title.
* UnexpectedCharacter:
** Not many expected Jessica Jones would ever see a live action adaptation, Marvel has tried many times in comic form to give her the limelight after the fairly popular ''Alias'' completed. Sadly after many attempts making her a regular background character is the most success writers have had.
** Very few people were expecting Patsy Walker to show up in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse at all, much less this series, as she has no real connection to Jessica in the comics. Not that it's bothering anybody...
* TheUnmasquedWorld: The series sees Jessica investigating superhuman threats, which as fans of the MCU know, have become increasingly common in-universe these past few years.
