Jessica Jones showrunner Melissa Rosenberg is moving onto bigger things.

After season 3, Rosenberg will move away from Jessica Jones and work with Warner Bros.  Television. In her new position, she will be creating and developing new projects for the company. A new showrunner will take over from Rosenberg for a fourth season, so the show will not be canceled following its creator’s departure.

Although she is excited about her big move, Rosenberg assures fans of the show that her focus is remaining on finishing up the third season.

“All of my attention remains with the extraordinary cast, writers and production team of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, until the completion of season three,” Rosenberg said. “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.”

She continued: “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.”

Production for Season 3 of Jessica Jones begun in June and a 2019 release can be expected.
