Marvel Halts Development of Nova, Strange Academy, & Terror, Inc. Projects

Marvel Television has reportedly placed three shows on hold: Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc.

According to Deadline, these projects lacked official greenlighting and their future remains uncertain, though not necessarily cancelled. Marvel's strategic priorities have shifted.

This strategic shift coincides with Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again. This week, Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming and TV at Marvel Studios, announced the exploration of a reunion for the street-level heroes of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist—better known as The Defenders.

Marvel Studios is currently prioritizing the development of numerous shows, 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 surprising, especially considering that just two months ago, former Criminal Minds showrunner Ed Bernero 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. Information regarding Terror, Inc. remains unavailable.

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