Marvel Television has reportedly put three shows on hold: Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. Sources at Deadline report these projects weren't officially greenlit, leaving their future uncertain despite the possibility of eventual release. This strategic shift reflects Marvel's changing priorities.
This change comes as Marvel Studios gears up for the Disney+ launch of Daredevil: Born Again. This week, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' head of streaming and TV, announced the exploration of reuniting the street-level heroes of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist—better known as The Defenders.

Marvel Studios is now focusing on developing more shows than previously, but as Winderbaum told 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 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 headmaster. Details on Terror, Inc. remain scarce.
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 slated for this year: Thunderbolts (May) and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
