Netflix announced yesterday (19 February) that both their remaining Marvel TV shows – also including The Punisher – have been cancelled.
The third season of Jessica Jones will still be released on the streaming service this year, although no release date has been announced.
“I love these people to the moon and back,” Ritter wrote on social media, alongside a picture if the show’s cast.
“It has been a dream to play Jessica alongside my amazing cast and the best crew in the business for these past five years. I am so grateful for every second of it. We have THE BEST fans. You guys mean the world to me and I appreciate you beyond words.
“The final season of Jessica Jones is coming later this year and I am proud of how we complete JJ’s journey. I can’t wait for you all to see it. Stay tuned and more to come.”
Likewise, The Punisher‘s leading actor Jon Bernthal addressed the show’s cancellation on Instagram.
“To all who have served. All who know loss. All who love and understand Frank and his pain. It has been an honour to walk in his boots,” he wrote.
“I’m endlessly grateful to the comic fans and the men and women of the Armed Services and law enforcement community who Frank means so much to. Thank you to the USMC and all the wonderful soldiers who trained me. Go Hard. Be safe.”
Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, who are set to launch their own streaming service, Disney+, later this year. Multiple exclusive Marvel shows are heading onto the service, including ones centred on Vision and Scarlett Witch, Bucky and Falcon, and Loki.
