Marvel Halts Development on Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. Series

Marvel Television has recently hit the pause button on the development of three highly anticipated shows: Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. According to sources cited by Deadline, these projects were never officially greenlit and, while they may still see the light of day, Marvel has decided to shift its focus elsewhere.

This strategic pivot coincides with Marvel Studios gearing up for the launch of the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again. In a recent update, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' head of streaming and TV, disclosed that the studio is considering bringing back the street-level heroes from Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist, collectively known as The Defenders.

Marvel Studios is now adopting a strategy of developing more shows than it ultimately produces. As Brad Winderbaum mentioned to Screen Rant last year, "We’re really being careful about what we choose to do next."

The news about Nova is particularly noteworthy, especially since just two months ago, it was announced that Ed Bernero, former showrunner of Criminal Minds, had joined the project as both writer and showrunner, with Nova confirmed as a series for Disney+. For more detailed information on Nova, check out IGN’s comprehensive article.

Strange Academy was set to explore the adventures at a magical school established by the MCU's Doctor Strange, with Wong taking the helm. Details about Terror, Inc. remain scarce.

Here’s what we know for certain regarding upcoming Marvel TV shows: Daredevil: Born Again is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 4, followed by Ironheart on June 24, and Wonder Man in December. On the film front, three MCU movies are slated for release this year after the debut of Captain America: Brave New World: Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
