Krysten Ritter is reprising her role of the superhero-turned-private 
eye, entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe by being cast in season two 
of Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again.

Ritter starred as Jones in the eponymous Netflix series in the 
mid-2010s. The series and actress generated considerable acclaim and 
awards at the time and is considered a highlight during the Netflix era 
of Marvel television.

The casting announcement was made during Marvel's portion of Disney's 
upfront presentation to advertisers Tuesday.

Born Again has been a solid performer on Disney+, with the season finale 
notching an uptick, according to insiders. The show has also lifted the 
Netflix seasons, which now also stream exclusively on Disney+.

"People were watching it as a season four, not at as a first season", 
noted Brad Winderbaum, Marvel's head of television and animation, 
speaking to The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the presentation.

The exec, a Marvel veteran who only took charge of series in 2021, 
earlier this year renewed his contract, a sign of confidence from Marvel 
in his abilities to steer the television ship.

Winderbaum noted that the reaction from audiences has been intense, from 
the discourse to videos to fan-made art. "It's given us the confidence 
of making the show annually into the future", he said.

The exec remained mum on whether other actors and characters from the 
Netflix era, notably Mike Colter as Luke Cage and Finn Jones as
Iron Fist, would pop up in the future.

Season two of Daredevil: Born Again will pick up after the cliffhanger 
of season one, in which crime lord Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) 
violently consolidated power, leading Matt Murdock (Cox) to go 
underground and begin reaching out to allies to resist Fisk and his 
anti-vigilante task force. Jones will be part of that group of allies.
