Marvel and Netflix are rounding up a rather impressive cast for their upcoming TV series "A.K.A. Jessica Jones", and the latest name to pop up is Carrie-Anne Moss ("The Matrix"). The actress will play "a no-nonsense woman who could prove a powerful ally to Jessica…if Jessica doesn’t completely alienate her first.". The cast also features Krysten Ritter ("Breaking Bad") in the lead role, David Tennant ("Doctor Who"), Rachael Taylor ("The Loft") and Mike Colter ("The Good Wife"). The show is written and executive produced by Melissa Rosenberg ("Dexter"). The 13 episodes of the first season are set to air this year. Until then, here is the show's official synopsis:
"After a tragic ending to her short-lived super hero stint, Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter, Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt. 23) is rebuilding her personal life and career as a detective who gets pulled into cases involving people with extraordinary abilities in New York City. An enigmatic figure from Jessica’s past, Kilgrave’s reappearance will send shockwaves through the former super hero’s world."
