In addition to Ritter, Jessica Jones also stars Rachael Taylor as Trish Walker, Carrie-Anne Moss as Jeri Hogarth and Eka Darville as Malcolm Ducasse as well as new cast members Janet McTeer and J.R. Ramirez, among others. The series is executive produced by showrunner Melissa Rosenberg along with Marvel’s Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory.
