After starring as the deliciously deceptive Marquise de Merteuil in Broadway's Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Janet McTeer has been tapped to appear in season two of Marvel and Netflix's ultra-addicting series Jessica Jones. The Tony winner and Oscar nominee's role, though major, is still a mystery, according to Entertainment Weekly. The second season is currently in production, and a premiere date will be announced at a later time.
McTeer won a Tony and an Olivier Award for her performance in A Doll’s House; she also received nods for both after starring in Mary Stuart. McTeer additionally appeared in London and on Broadway in the Tony-winning play God of Carnage. Her film credits include Oscar-nominated performances in Albert Nobbs and Tumbleweeds.
Based off of Marvel's comic book series of the same name, Jessica Jones stars Krysten Ritter in the title role. Jones is a private investigator living in New York City with superhuman abilities; the origin of those powers will be explored further in the second season. Season one premiered on Netflix in 2015.
