Jessica Jones has already been renewed for a third season but no matter what the future holds in store for the hero, we now know that it won't include showrunner Melissa Rosenberg. It's been confirmed today that she's set to leave the series after season three because she's struck a deal with Warner Bros. Television. They outbid Netflix for her services in a deal said to be somewhere in the eight-figure range.

She'll not create and develop projects for the studio and if there is ultimately a fourth season of Jessica Jones, a new showrunner will take over while Rosenberg will still be credited as creator and executive producer. She's been attached to the Marvel TV show since it was titled A.K.A. Jessica Jones and was heading to ABC and Rosenberg had this to say about her departure from the popular TV series. 
 
"All of my attention remains with the extraordinary cast, writers and production team of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, until the completion of season three. It continues to be a career highlight working with my partners at Marvel Television and Netflix. We’re extraordinarily grateful to the viewers who have supported us every step of the way on Jessica’s journey, which is so beautifully realized by Krysten Ritter and the amazing cast including Rachael Taylor, Eka Darville and Carrie-Anne Moss. We have so many talented storytellers in every area of this show, who I’m honored to call friends and collaborators. As I look ahead after this season, I’m thrilled that I will be able to explore new projects with the talented team at Warner Bros. Television and push myself in new challenging creative directions."

Are you disappointed that Jessica Jones has lost its showrunner or are you excited to see someone else potentially take charge of the series? As always, share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Not sure if this is bad news, I enjoyed season 2, but it was slow and a little boring, will be nice for a fresh take

Season 1 was stellar imo....

Then the Whizzer showed up... (I just finished season 2 last month. Those last couple episodes were that hard to get back into).

Idk. She did supremely fine work that first year. S2 had a few highlights, maintl Ritter's acting. Overall, it was a damn bore. Never cared about Jessica's mommy issues. She should just be a PI who takes cases and gets in deep with a few.

If you need a new showrunner grab any one of the writers from Killing Eve. Cant go wrong. Show gets it done with the complex females.

Her first season was great but without Tennant she had a hard time finding a gripping narrative in season 2. Hopefully season 3 is a return to form and she can leave on a high note.

I enjoyed both Seasons but i wouldn't mind a new showrunner to keep the show feeling fresh.

Good for her! Also I really can't say I'm too sad about this. If Iron Fist S2 manages to beat Luke Cage S2 in my personal appreciation that might actually leave JJ at the bottom of the MCU/Netflix shows. Damn shame...

@Kyos - yeah pretty sure it will be at the bottom after IF s2. JJ s2 just dug such a deep hole...

@HeavyMetal4Life - I'm just glad to hear others didn't enjoy s2 of JJ.

I was just... so bored?

It left such a bad taste in my mouth that I didn't even get to LC right away and have yet to start Cloak and Dagger.

Season 2 was trash after episode 4 IMHO. I'll never sit through all that again.

Jessica Jones should have small 3-4 episode arcs based on individual cases, and all the cases should tie together. It structures itself but somehow the writers have missed this.
