Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg announced the news whilst speaking to the Transform Hollywood symposium, explaining how all 13 episodes of the series will be directed by women.

Though filming is scheduled to begin in early November, there's been no confirmation just yet on who will be sitting in the director's chair.

No air date has even been given for the second season, with Marvel's Iron Fist and Marvel's The Defenders expected to come to Netflix before it.

Upon the release of its first season, Jessica Jones was the recipient of rave reviews and even led to the character getting her own new solo comic in the near future.

Comic writer Brian Michael Bendis explained to Entertainment Weekly: "I've worked with other artists on Jessica and always enjoyed it, but in my mind she never looks and feels and breathes and smells more like Jessica than when Michael [Gaydos] draws her.

"That is the signature in which people think of her, of those visuals. So having them all back together and having everyone be just a little bit better at their jobs - I think Michael is a better illustrator and David [Mack] is a better painter - and I have to rise to the occasion and meet them."

Marvel's Jessica Jones season 1 is available now on Netflix, alongside Marvel's Daredevil seasons 1-2 and Marvel's Luke Cage season 1.
