When the character tries to start a detective agency, she finds herself helping people and other superheroes.

'As Jessica Jones, Krysten will bring one of the most beloved new characters of the past decade to life in a way we know will delight her longtime fans and introduce her to many more,' executive producer and Marvel’s head of television, Jeph Loeb, added.

Krysten reciprocated her excitement via Twitter on Friday, saying, 'Guys!! I am so completely over the moon & grateful for this opportunity to bring Jessica Jones to life! THANK YOU Melissa Rosenberg, everyone at @marvel @netflix and all of my fans for your support! Wooo! Dream big kiddies!'

Though, things weren't always as great for the star.

‘When I became a model, it gave me some self-esteem and a place to belong. Up until then, my home life was a little rocky and the kids at school would totally pick on me, and then when I became a model, it almost got worse,’ she told Ocean Drive magazine during the interview for her cover feature.
