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

Marvel Television has reportedly hit the pause button on three intriguing projects: Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. According to sources cited by Deadline, these shows were never officially greenlit and could still see the light of day, but Marvel has decided to shift its focus elsewhere.

This strategic pivot comes as Marvel Studios gears up for the much-anticipated launch of the Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again. In a recent revelation, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' head of streaming and TV, shared exciting news about potentially reuniting the street-level heroes from the beloved series 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 Winderbaum mentioned to Screen Rant last year, "We’re really being careful about what we choose to do next." This cautious approach reflects Marvel's commitment to quality over quantity.

The news about Nova is particularly surprising, especially since just two months ago, it was announced that Ed Bernero, former showrunner of Criminal Minds, was set to write and run the show, with Nova confirmed as a series for Disney+.

Strange Academy was anticipated to center around a magical school established by the MCU's Doctor Strange, with Wong taking the helm. Details on Terror, Inc. remain scarce.

Here’s what we know for certain about 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 launch of Captain America: Brave New World: Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
