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

by Jonathan May 13,2025

Recent reports indicate that Marvel Television has put a temporary hold on the development of three intriguing projects: *Nova*, *Strange Academy*, and *Terror, Inc.*. According to sources at Deadline, these shows were never officially greenlit and their future remains uncertain, as Marvel shifts its focus elsewhere.

This strategic pivot aligns with Marvel Studios' preparations for the upcoming Disney+ series, *Daredevil: Born Again*. This week, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios’ head of streaming and television, shared exciting news about the potential reunion of the street-level heroes from the Netflix era, including 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. Brad Winderbaum emphasized this strategy in an interview with Screen Rant last year, stating, "We’re really being careful about what we choose to do next."

The news about *Nova* comes as a surprise, especially since just two months ago, it was announced that Ed Bernero, former showrunner of *Criminal Minds*, would be writing and running the show, with *Nova* confirmed for Disney+. For a detailed look at everything you need to know about *Nova*, check out IGN’s comprehensive article.

*Strange Academy* was set to explore the world of a magic school established by the MCU's Doctor Strange, with Wong taking on the role of headmaster. Details about *Terror, Inc.* remain scarce.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding these projects, Marvel's release schedule for confirmed TV shows remains robust. *Daredevil: Born Again* is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 4, followed by *Ironheart* on June 24, and *Wonder Man* in December. Additionally, Marvel fans can look forward to three MCU films this year, starting with *Captain America: Brave New World*, followed by *Thunderbolts* in May and *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*.
