RACHAEL TAYLOR THE LATEST TO JOIN "MARVEL'S A.K.A. JESSICA JONES"

Jessica Jones has found her best friend and emotional anchor!

Marvel and Netflix are proud to announce that Rachael Taylor will star as Patricia "Trish" Walker in "Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones," an all-new 13-episode series premiering on Netflix in 2015 following "Marvel's Daredevil."

Trish is a syndicated radio talk show host, former model and child TV star known to her adoring fans as "Patsy" Walker. As Jessica Jones' closest friend, Trish helps her embark on the most dangerous case of Jessica's career.

The character of Patricia Walker has roots dating back to 1944 with her first appearance in MISS AMERICA MAGAZINE #2, and in the comics Walker donned the super hero identity of Hellcat in 1976.

Taylor will star opposite Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones), David Tennant (Kilgrave), and Mike Colter (Luke Cage) in the Netflix original series. "Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones" was developed by Executive Producer/Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg ("Dexter").

"The character is a star and a powerhouse, and required an actress who is both," said Rosenberg. "Rachael is all that and more!"

"Rachael's ability to embody a character that must balance both the darker and lighter elements of our series will provide a perfect emotional anchor for Jessica Jones," said Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer/Marvel's Head of Television. "Rachael blew us away with her grounded, humanizing take on Trish, adding yet another layer to the complex, emotional story we're telling with this series."

Taylor can next be seen in theaters with "The Loft." "Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones" marks her first Netflix series, while past TV credits include "Grey's Anatomy" and "Crisis."

After a tragic ending to her short-lived super hero stint, Jessica Jones is rebuilding her personal life and career as a detective who gets pulled into cases involving people with extraordinary abilities in New York City.

"Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones" is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.
