Netflix announced today that Daredevil will debut on April 10th, but what about the other Marvel TV series the streaming service has in the works? Daredevil of course is only the first of five new Marvel series coming to Netflix – including A.K.A. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and the team-up series, The Defenders. Marvel recently revealed Jessica Jones would also debut in 2015, but a more recent write up about Netflix’s plans in USA Today made it sound like it could take longer than that, saying the plan was for the series to debut about a year apart.

Today, at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour, I asked Netflix head Ted Sarandos about these potentially conflicting reports. Regarding how long it would take for the shows to debut, he remarked, “You should think of it about as roughly a year. Some will roll in as early as eight months and others in 15 months apart, and basically what it is is we’re not trying to meet a fall programming schedule or trying to hit a grid number, so really we want to give the shows enough time.”

Sarandos added, “Jessica Jones hasn’t started production yet, so a lot happens from the first day on the set to the last day of production. So we want to give them enough room and enough time to make a great show, so I don’t want to set up a rigid timetable and deliver a show every eight months or every twelve months, but you should expect them about a year apart.”

When I followed up to ask if that meant Jessica Jones likely would not debut in 2015, Sarandos replied, “It’s too hard to say now.”

All of which is to say, don't be surprised if A.K.A. Jessica Jones doesn't debut until 2016 or, at least, until the very end of 2015.

Netflix's Ted Sarandos has answered one question that has been lingering ever since Marvel and Netflix announced their partnership to create four superhero series (and a team-up mini-series) for the streaming network.

That question is also probably the most obvious one - are these one-offs or will these be ongoing shows? The good news is, it sounds like Netflix is thinking the latter assuming they perform well. Speaking at the TCA Winter Press Tour this week, Sarandos says: "They're all eligible to go into multiple seasons for sure, and [we]contemplate that they will."

Sarandos also implied "The Defenders" miniseries, which brings all four series together, could becoming an ongoing series as well. The plan is also to have each series screen between 8-15 months from the previous one.

The downside of this news is that Marvel's "A.K.A. Jessica Jones" may not premiere until early 2016, and "Luke Cage" will be a late 2016/early 2017 release. Sarandon says: "We're not trying to hit a fall programming schedule or hit a grid number. We want to give them enough room and enough time to make a great show. I don't want to set up a rigid time table."

“Doctor Who” star David Tennant has been cast as Marvel villain Kilgrave on Netflix’s “AKA Jessica Jones,” Marvel announced Monday.

After a tragic ending to her short-lived super hero stint, Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) is rebuilding her personal life and career as a detective who gets pulled into cases involving people with extraordinary abilities in New York City. An enigmatic figure from Jessica’s past, Kilgrave’s reappearance will send shockwaves through the former super hero’s world. Mike Colter will also star as Luke Cage. The series was developed by executive producer/showrunner Melissa Rosenberg.

“I’m so honored and excited by the prospect of David inhabiting this multifaceted character,” said Rosenberg. “He can deliver the most heart-wrenching moment to the driest of lines, and all points in between. He’ll make Kilgrave a truly original villain.”

“Anyone familiar with David’s work knows he brings an incredible level of dedication to any role he inhabits, a level we knew we would need from the man playing Kilgrave,” said Jeph Loeb, executive producer and Marvel’s Head of Television. “While most know him for his roles as a hero, we can’t wait to unleash a whole new side of this talented actor.”

A character called “Killgrave” appears in Marvel comics canon: Zebediah Killgrave is known as The Purple Man, an international spy turned criminal who was originally introduced to menace Daredevil before becoming an antagonist for Jessica Jones. No word on whether Tennant will make an appearance in Netflix’s “Daredevil” series (scheduled to bow on April 10) before transitioning to “Jessica Jones” later in the year, but the two shows (along with Netflix’s subsequent Luke Cage and Iron Fist follow-ups) will be based in Hell’s Kitchen, presumably allowing for plenty of crossover between the heroes before their “Defenders” miniseries team-up.

The 13-episode series will premiere on Netflix in 2015.

“Jessica Jones” has found her best friend.

Rachael Taylor has been cast as Trish Walker in Netflix’s original superhero series “Marvel’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones,” which stars Krysten Ritter as the title character. Marvel made the announcement Thursday.

Taylor’s casting news comes just days after Marvel announced that the villain has been cast: “Broadchurch” and “Doctor Who” star David Tennant will play Kilgrave.

Trish Walker (Taylor), the best friend of Jessica (Ritter), is a syndicated radio talk show host, former model and child television star who’s best known to her fans as “Patsy” Walker, based on the Marvel Comics character who appeared under the superhero identity of Hellcat. In the series, Trish will help Jessica embark on the most dangerous case of her career.

The 13-episode series will follow Jessica, after her short-lived and tragically ended superhero stint, as she rebuilds her personal life and detective career, getting pulled into cases involving extraordinary people in New York City.

Taylor previously starred in ABC’s “Charlie’s Angels” and “666 Park Avenue,” and she recurred on “Grey’s Anatomy.”

“Marvel’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones” will premiere on Netflix this year.
