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

Author : Ethan Mar 26,2025

Marvel Television has reportedly hit the pause button on three anticipated shows: *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 shifted its focus elsewhere. This strategic pivot comes as Marvel Studios gears up for the launch of the Disney+ series *Daredevil: Born Again*. This week, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios’ head of streaming and TV, 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 now adopting a strategy of developing more shows than it ultimately produces. As Brad Winderbaum mentioned to Screen Rant last year, "We’re really being careful about what we choose to do next." The news about *Nova* is particularly surprising, especially since just two months ago, it was announced that Ed Bernero, former showrunner of *Criminal Minds*, was set to write and run the show, with *Nova* confirmed for Disney+. For more details on *Nova*, check out IGN’s comprehensive article.

*Strange Academy* was anticipated to center around a magical school established by the MCU's Doctor Strange, with Wong taking the helm. Details on *Terror, Inc.* remain scarce.

Here’s what we know for certain about upcoming Marvel TV shows: *Daredevil: Born Again* is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 4, followed by *Ironheart* on June 24, and *Wonder Man* in December. On the film front, three MCU movies are slated for release this year after *Captain America: Brave New World*: *Thunderbolts* in May and *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*.
