– Critics received the first five episodes of season 2 and are mostly positive. Some said it doesn't have the appeal of season one yet, citing lack of direction and stakes so far.
– Two-time Oscar nominee Janet McTeer joins this season as a pivotal, mysterious character. McTeer said it's a very physical role and that she was drawn to the show because of its portrayal of gender politics, PTSD, and abuse. “When they sent me scripts of the part, I thought, ‘This is a part I haven’t played before. To do something you’ve never done before when you’re my age is really cool. I liked the challenge.”
– Season 2 directors: Anna Foerster, Minkie Spiro, Mairzee Almos, Deborah Chow, Millicent Shelton, Jet Wilkinson, Jennifer Getzinger, Zetna Fuentes, Rosemary Rodriguez, Neasa Hardiman, Jennifer Lynch, Liz Friedlander, and Uta Briesewitz.
– Krysten Ritter on the work environment:“It is a very supportive environment. There’s no ego, there’s no infighting, which is important, because I can go into darker places if I feel safe to be vulnerable.” Ritter said she was able to find a balance between the dark stuff and returning to normal this time around working on the second season. The show is very much a collaboration of her and creator Melissa Rosenberg, Ritter says, and they get along really well.
– Jessica and Trish's relationship evolves but will remain the heart of the show. Trish wants Jessica's powers. Jesisca sees Malcolm as younger brother. Hogarth is still self-serving, she and Jessica maintain a testy relationship.
– Ritter on the impact of Jessica:“Real women on the street came up to me in tears because this was the first time they felt represented by the lead; it made them feel so much better about their own traumas. Even hearing women saying they were excited to see a badass female character was great: people responded to her in such a huge way.”
– Thirteen international artist created pulp art for each episode of season 2. Check it out below, and beware they contain the episode titles if you wanna stay spoiler free.
– The second season releases on March 8th.
