HELLS KITCHEN — The neighborhood attracts such interesting characters.

Netflix's latest series set in Hells Kitchen "Jessica Jones" follows the Marvel superhero-turned-private-detective through the neighborhood as she solves cases.

Based on the comic "Alias," the series stars Krysten Ritter, most known for her role in "Breaking Bad," and hits the small screen Nov. 20. 

Late last week, they released photos of the series on Twitter, to the excitement of comic book fans and amateur sleuths across the Internet.

This is the second, after "Daredevil," in a series of four Netflix shows that will focus Marvel's "flawed heroes of Hell's Kitchen," based on an agreement between Governor Andrew Cuomo, The Walt Disney Company, Marvel and Netflix Inc., according to Marvel.com.

Shows about Luke Cage and Iron Fist are still in the pipeline.

While set in Hell's Kitchen, this July the show was mostly filmed in the East Village, making Horseshoe Bar on Seventh and Avenue B "explode," a stunt captured in multiple videos.
