Marvel's TV Shows: 'Nova, Strange Academy,' and 'Terror, Inc.' Reportedly Paused

Marvel Television has reportedly placed three shows – Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. – on hold. Sources at Deadline indicate these projects weren't officially greenlit, leaving open the possibility of future development, but Marvel has prioritized other initiatives.

This strategic shift coincides with Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again. Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming and TV at Marvel Studios, recently revealed an exploration of reuniting the street-level heroes of The Defenders (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist).

Marvel Studios is currently focusing on developing a larger volume of shows than previously, but as Winderbaum stated to Screen Rant last year, "We’re really being careful about what we choose to do next."

The Nova news is particularly unexpected, especially considering that just two months ago, Ed Bernero (former Criminal Minds showrunner) was announced as writer and showrunner, with Nova confirmed for Disney+. For more details on Nova, see IGN's comprehensive article.

Strange Academy, anticipated to center around Doctor Strange's magic school with Wong as headmaster, is also affected. Details regarding Terror, Inc. remain scarce.

Confirmed Marvel TV release dates include: Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+, March 4th), Ironheart (June 24th), and Wonder Man (December). Following Captain America: Brave New World, three MCU films are slated for release this year: Thunderbolts (May) and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
