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

Marvel Television has reportedly placed three shows – Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. – on hold. According to Deadline sources, these projects lacked official greenlighting and their future remains uncertain, though not necessarily cancelled. Marvel's strategic shift in priorities is the driving factor.

This strategic change coincides with Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again. Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming and TV at Marvel Studios, recently announced the exploration of reuniting the street-level heroes of The Defenders (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist).

Marvel Studios is now prioritizing the development of numerous shows, exercising caution in selecting future projects, 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, Ed Bernero (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, anticipated to center around Doctor Strange's magic school with Wong as headmaster, is also affected. Information regarding Terror, Inc. remains scarce.

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