Marvel Halts Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. TV Projects

Marvel Television has reportedly hit the pause button on three anticipated series: *Nova*, *Strange Academy*, and *Terror, Inc.* According to sources cited by Deadline, these projects were never officially greenlit and could still see the light of day, but Marvel has recalibrated its focus. This strategic shift aligns with Marvel Studios' upcoming launch of the Disney+ series *Daredevil: Born Again*. Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios’ head of streaming and TV, recently shared exciting news about exploring the possibility of reuniting the street-level heroes from *Daredevil*, *Luke Cage*, *Jessica Jones*, and *Iron Fist*—collectively known as The Defenders.

Marvel Studios is adopting a cautious approach, developing more shows than it ultimately produces. As Winderbaum noted in an interview with Screen Rant last year, “We’re really being careful about what we choose to do next.”

The halt on *Nova* comes as a surprise, especially since just two months ago, Ed Bernero, the former showrunner of *Criminal Minds*, was announced to be on board as both writer and showrunner, with *Nova* slated for Disney+. For a deep dive into what *Nova* could bring to the MCU, check out IGN’s comprehensive guide.

*Strange Academy* was set to explore a magic school established by Doctor Strange, with Wong overseeing operations. Details on *Terror, Inc.* remain scarce, leaving fans curious about its potential narrative.

Despite these pauses, Marvel has a clear lineup of confirmed releases. *Daredevil: Born Again* is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on March 4, followed by *Ironheart* on June 24, and *Wonder Man* slated for December. On the film front, three MCU movies are set for release this year, beginning with *Captain America: Brave New World*, followed by *Thunderbolts* in May and *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*.
