Krysten Ritter Joins Defenders Reunion on ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 3

Defenders Heroes Back on Set

On April 4, 2026, New York‑area photographers captured Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter and Finn Jones together on the Brooklyn set of Daredevil: Born Again Season 3. The trio—Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist—were last seen together in the 2017 Netflix miniseries The Defenders, making this the first major crossover of the street‑level heroes in years.

Ritter’s MCU Comeback

Ritter, who first portrayed Jessica Jones in the Netflix series (2015‑2019), returned to the role for Born Again Season 2, which premiered on Disney+ on March 24, 2026. Her appearance was more than a cameo; the storyline positioned Jones as a pivotal player in Matt Murdock’s world, hinting at larger team‑up possibilities.

What’s Next

The on‑set photos suggest that Season 3 may finally deliver the long‑awaited Defenders team‑up, a development fans have petitioned for since the original series was cancelled in 2019. Ritter has hinted she would love to see Jessica partner with other Marvel characters, keeping speculation alive as production moves forward.
