Marvel Reportedly Pauses Work on Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. TV Shows

Marvel Television has reportedly placed three shows on hold: Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. According to Deadline, these projects weren't officially greenlit and might still be produced, but Marvel has prioritized other initiatives.

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

Marvel Studios is currently developing a larger volume of shows than it's producing, reflecting Winderbaum's statement 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, the 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 was anticipated to center around the magic school established by Doctor Strange, with Wong as its headmaster. 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.
