Showrunners for Daredevil and Jessica Jones, the first two Netflix Marvel series (see "Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage Netflix Series"), appear to be falling into place, according to Deadline Hollywood. Melissa Rosenberg (Dexter, Birds of Prey, and the Twilight films) is attached to Jessica Jones, according to the report; she’s been connected to the show since 2010 (see "TV Show Based on Bendis' 'Alias'"). It’s not clear how many of Rosenberg’s past ideas for the show (for example, see "Power Man and Ms. Marvel on TV") will make it into this new version, though, as the show is being redeveloped for Netflix.
Marvel is "close to locking in" Drew Goddard (Alias, Lost) for Daredevil, according to the report. Daredevil will be the first of the four series to be released, with Jessica Jones to follow.
Those are both experienced, successful showrunners, so it appears that Marve's live action TV strategy will be similar to its strategy for films: put top talent behind the camera to ensure a high quality product.
