New Jessica Jones season two trailer asks big questions about her origins

Netflix released the second trailer for season two of Jessica Jones today. Unlike the teaser we saw back in December, this is a full-length trailer loaded with strong hints about where the series is headed.

Netflix is spending copious amounts of money on new content, and we've seen some great shows come out of it—Stranger Things, The Crown, and the return of the beloved Mystery Science Theater 3000. But Jessica Jones stands out in some ways; it was one of the earlier hits, for one thing. It takes a decidedly different approach to the pervasive superhero genre, too. And the first season resonated in part because it took topics like abuse and externalized them in the story, granting a lot of insight to viewers.

After season one, Jessica went on to co-star with the other Netflix Marvel superheroes in The Defenders, and while that was interesting, it wasn't the same as more stories focused entirely on her. The second season was announced what seems like two years ago—oh wait, that's exactly how long ago it was—but we'll finally get those dedicated stories when the episodes start streaming on March 8.
