tv 'AKA Jessica Jones' To Be Shopped Around To Other Networks

[Rappy Veteran]

Collider's Christina Radish recently asked Melissa Rosenberg about the show while she was doing press for her latest film, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn ? Part 2.

Did you originally sign on with ABC to do AKA Jessica Jones?

ROSENBERG: Yeah, I did the Jessica Jones pilot, but they didn?t pick it up to pilot. The studio still owns it, and I think we?re going to go shop it around to some other outlets to see. So, that?s on hold. But, they just came back to me the next season and said, ?Well, we have this Dutch series.? Red Widow is based on a Dutch series, called Penoza. I watched the series and went, ?This is not a network show. You can?t do this on network.? But, Paul Lee was like, ?No, I want to do it on the network.? And I thought, ?Okay, but are we going to be dialing back the edge and the violence?,? but no, we?re really not. Aside from swearing and maybe too much blood, and a little writhing and sex scenes, the storytelling has been incredibly edgy. So, we?ll see if the audience jumps on board
