Yesterday, Netflix's CCO Ted Sarandos spoke about
the streaming service's desire to have multiple seasons of each of the current live-action Marvel TV shows in development. However, his comments about the time between when each show would premiere on Netflix created a bit of a stir. Well, now we have a few more words from Sanados that may shed a bit more light on the subject, particularly on when Jessica Jones (the next Marvel Netflix series after Daredevil) will air.
"Jessica Jones hasn’t started production yet, [and] a lot happens from the first day on the set to the last day of production. So we want to give [each show] 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.”
As for whether Jessica Jones would premiere in 2015 as initially reported, Sarandos stated,
"It’s too hard to say now."
If each show premieres a year apart, what does that mean for the multiple seasons that Sarandos spoke of yesterday. Does Daredevil Season 2 have to wait until after The Defenders miniseries airs or will it premiere next year with Jessica Jones? Perhaps if Daredevil proves a successful venture for Netflix it will lead to a quicker production turnaround for his NYC superhero comrades?
