Marvel Developing Package Of New Tv Series

Marvel Developing Package Of New TV Series

Now the cat is partially out of the bag about Marvel’s next plan for television. (Is this phase two, or the second half of phase one?) The company has several new shows in development, and while we don’t know much about any one of them, we’ll pass along the first info below. Hint: these probably won’t be on ABC.

There are no titles to offer, no talent attached, and no indication of how these series will fit together. (Or not, but given Marvel’s strategy up to this point, that they’ll be linked or related somehow is the one safe bet.)

What’s interesting is that these shows aren’t going to traditional broadcast homes, but to newer outlets for television. That might make this package deal easier to sell as a whole, and could also offer interesting opportunities for diverse content. But that’s also a lot of material to assemble and get right all at once, so it’ll be interesting to see how Marvel makes this work.
