The third and final season of Jessica Jones will premiere June 14th on Netflix. The streaming service announced the premiere date with a short teaser in which a menacing voice threatens Jones as the camera moves down the hallway towards her office: “Jessica Jones, you are a fraud. You’re a cheater. No longer.” After Jones goes to answer a knock on her door, the clip makes a violent cut before quickly coming to a close.
Season Three of Jessica Jones will center around a confrontation between Jones (played by Krysten Ritter) and a highly intelligent psychopath. In order to defeat him, Jones must reunite and repair her relationship with her friend and foster-sister Tirsh (Rachael Taylor), but “a devastating loss reveals their conflicting ideas of heroism and sets them on a collision course that will forever change them both.”
In February, Netflix announced that the third season of Jessica Jones would be its last. Since premiering in 2015, the show has garnered heaps of praise from critics and fans, even winning a Peabody Award in 2016.
Along with canceling Jessica Jones, Netflix also ended its other Marvel superhero shows comprised “The Defenders,” including The Punisher, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil. The cancellations come as Disney — which owns Marvel — prepares to launch its own streaming service later this year.
