13 New TV Characters We Can't Wait To Meet In 2018

Although her character currently remains a mystery, there are two reasons to be excited for whoever Janet McTeer ends up playing in Jessica Jones Season 2.

Firstly, McTeer is a great actress, as seen in her Oscar-nominated turns in Tumbleweeds and Albert Nobbs. The first season wasn't exactly lacking in talent, but McTeer can bring even more weight to the proceedings.

Secondly, she's going to play a pivotal figure in Jessica's life. That suggests someone closely linked to her past, and as uncovering the mystery of Jessica's origins is one of the biggest and most intriguing plot threads dangling over this second season, that should make her character both important and captivating, especially if - as one rumour suggests - she ends up being the Big Bad of Season 2.
