When Does the TV Show "Jessica Jones" Season Two (2018) Take Place?
"Jessica Jones" season two is a television series showran by Melissa Rosenberg [adapting "" #? (20??) by Brian Michael Bendis?] that premiered March 8th, 2018. So when is "Jessica Jones" season 2 set?
It takes place on the fictional Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline in the year:
We know this because in season 2 episode 3 "AKA Sole Survivor" Jessica says, "17 years ago, an injured orphan girl came through and you thought, 'Perfect candidate to torture'." when referring to the accident of her origin story and season 1 episode 12 "AKA Take a Bloody Number" establishes this accident as happening sometime just before April of 2000 AD.
2017 AD
We know this because in season 2 episode 3 "AKA Sole Survivor" Jessica says, "17 years ago, an injured orphan girl came through and you thought, 'Perfect candidate to torture'." when referring to the accident of her origin story and season 1 episode 12 "AKA Take a Bloody Number" establishes this accident as happening sometime just before April of 2000 AD.
2000 + 17 = 2017.
Additionally, season 2 episode 7 "AKA I Want Your Cray Cray" opens with a point-of-view flashback to a character narrowly surviving the fateful accident from Jessica's Jones' childhood. So the first flashback must be in early 2000 AD.
Then, there's a very vague flashback with this survivor that's unplaceable other than taking place sometime between the previous flashback in 2000 AD and the next one in 2005 AD.
Later, we see another flashback with the same survivor asking, "How long have I been here?" Dr. Karl Malus responds, "5 years." So the third flashback must be some time in 2005 AD.
2000 + 5 = 2005.
There's then a long flashback in the same episode to a younger college-age Trish "Patsy" Walker. The time is never mentioned but this flashback intersects with a plot that seems likely to follow the second flashback, so it's 2005 AD for the remainder of the episode until a short epilogue brings us back to 'the present' of 2017 AD.
(Early in season 2 episode 8 "AKA Ain't We Got Fun" Jessica says to Dr. Malus, "You've lived like this for 12 years?" when referring to his life since sometime around the scenes in season 2 episode 7 "AKA I Want Your Cray Cray". This seems to confirm for us that the majority of episode 7 is in 2005 AD.
2017 - 12 = 2005.)
Season 2 episode 11 "AKA Three Lives and Counting" includes a flashback that is unplaceable other than taking place sometime after the 2005 AD scenes in episode 7 and before the main action of the season in 2017 AD.
It is the third chronological TV show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and can be watched at its timeline point.
