Honestly now that they have the actors locked in and good ratings from Netflix they need to go a series for each character a year. Right now Krysten Ritter is great for the role of Jessica Jones. Five years from now she might look like Meg Ryan after the botched face lift.

The flip side of that is producing 2 shows a year instead of 4-5 cuts your costs in half. Make no mistake money is the reason behind this. They turned down picking up the cancelled Agent Carter because some international rights holders weren't willing to give up their rights meaning they wouldn't have global distribution rights for it. It still would have been a net positive for them, and some of their biggest "Originals" are UK shows that they get the US rights for like Peaky Blinders.
