Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Rosenberg explained: "All of my attention remains with the extraordinary cast, writers and production team of Marvel's Jessica Jones, until the completion of season three.

"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 realised 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 honoured to call friends and collaborators."

The award-winning 55-year-old – who also adapted the entire Twilight franchise for the big screen – is looking forward to her new post, which will offer a different kind of challenge.

"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," she added.

With production starting in June, season 3 is still a high priority for Rosenberg and remains in its early stages. Interestingly, the upcoming instalment is set to feature the character Hellcat, played by Rachael Taylor.

Jessica Jones seasons 1 and 2 are available on Netflix now.
