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

Marvel Television has reportedly paused development on three shows: Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. Sources at Deadline indicate these projects weren't officially greenlit, leaving their future uncertain, though not entirely ruled out. This shift reflects a change in Marvel's priorities.

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 an exploration of reuniting the street-level heroes of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist—The Defenders.

Marvel Studios is now focusing on developing a larger volume 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 surprising, especially considering that just two months ago, former Criminal Minds showrunner Ed Bernero was announced as writer and showrunner, with Nova confirmed as a Disney+ series. For more details on Nova, see IGN's comprehensive article.

Strange Academy was anticipated to center around a magic school founded by Doctor Strange, with Wong as the headmaster. Currently, there's no available information on Terror, Inc.

Confirmed Marvel TV show release dates include: Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+, March 4th), Ironheart (Disney+, June 24th), and Wonder Man (Disney+, December). 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.
