Marvel Television has reportedly paused development on three series: Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. Sources at Deadline indicate these projects, while not officially greenlit, haven't been canceled outright but are currently on hold as Marvel shifts its strategic focus.
This strategic change coincides with Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again. Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming and TV at Marvel Studios, recently revealed the company's exploration of reuniting the street-level heroes of The Defenders (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist).
Marvel Studios is currently prioritizing the development of a larger number of shows, but as Winderbaum stated to Screen Rant last year, “We’re really being careful about what we choose to do next.”
The news regarding Nova is particularly unexpected, especially considering reports just two months ago confirming former Criminal Minds showrunner Ed Bernero's involvement as writer and showrunner, with the series slated for Disney+. (See IGN's article for more details on Nova.)
Strange Academy was anticipated to center around a magic school established by Doctor Strange, with Wong as the headmaster. Details on Terror, Inc. remain scarce.
Confirmed Marvel TV release dates include: Daredevil: Born Again (March 4th, Disney+), Ironheart (June 24th, Disney+), and Wonder Man (December, Disney+). Following the release of Captain America: Brave New World, three MCU films are scheduled for release this year: Thunderbolts (May) and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
