Marvel's AKA Jessica Jones Series Adds Hellcat

Rachael Taylor (Grey's Anatomy, Transformers) has joined the cast of AKA Jessica Jones as Patricia "Trish" Walker, who sometimes goes by the superhero code name Hellcat. Here are the official character details, courtesy of Marvel:

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.

But c'mon, guys...Hellcat, right?

“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 in a statement. “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.”

Ms. Taylor joins Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, David Tennant as Kilgrave, and Mike Colter as Luke Cage. We'll see AKA Jessica Jones on Netflix in late 2015 or early 2016.
