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

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 19,2025

Marvel Television has recently hit the pause button on three of its upcoming shows: *Nova*, *Strange Academy*, and *Terror, Inc.* According to sources cited by Deadline, these projects were never officially greenlit and could still potentially see the light of day. However, Marvel has decided to shift its focus elsewhere, indicating a strategic pivot in its content development.

This shift in priorities aligns with Marvel Studios' preparation for the launch of the highly anticipated Disney+ series, *Daredevil: Born Again*. This week, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' head of streaming and TV, announced exciting plans to potentially reunite the street-level heroes from the previous Netflix series—*Daredevil*, *Luke Cage*, *Jessica Jones*, and *Iron Fist*, collectively known as The Defenders. This move signals Marvel's intent to build on its existing fanbase by bringing back beloved characters.

As Brad Winderbaum noted in an interview with Screen Rant last year, "We're really being careful about what we choose to do next." This cautious approach aims to ensure that only the most promising projects move forward.

The news of *Nova*'s pause is particularly surprising, especially since just two months ago, Ed Bernero, former showrunner of *Criminal Minds*, was announced as the writer and showrunner for the series, which was slated for Disney+. For more details on *Nova*, check out IGN's comprehensive article.

*Strange Academy* was set to explore a magical school founded by the MCU's Doctor Strange, with Wong taking the helm. Details on *Terror, Inc.* remain scarce, adding to the mystery surrounding its development.

Here's a look at the confirmed release dates for upcoming Marvel TV shows: *Daredevil: Born Again* is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 4, *Ironheart* on June 24, and *Wonder Man* in December. On the film front, three MCU movies are scheduled for release this year following *Captain America: Brave New World*: *Thunderbolts* in May and *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*.
