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

By CarterMar 19,2025

Marvel Television has reportedly paused development on three series: Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. Sources at Deadline indicate these projects, while not officially greenlit, haven't been canceled outright. Marvel's strategic shift in priorities is the reason cited.

This change comes as Marvel Studios prepares for the launch of Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+. Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming and TV at Marvel Studios, recently revealed the studio's exploration of reuniting the Defenders—Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist—for future projects.

Marvel Studios is currently prioritizing development of more shows, but as Winderbaum stated to Screen Rant last year, the studio is "really being careful about what we choose to do next."

The pause on Nova is particularly noteworthy, especially considering that just two months ago, Ed Bernero, former Criminal Minds showrunner, was announced as writer and showrunner, with Nova confirmed for Disney+. For more details on Nova, see IGN's comprehensive article.

Strange Academy was anticipated to center around a magic school founded by Doctor Strange, with Wong as headmaster. Details regarding Terror, Inc. remain scarce.

Confirmed Marvel TV show release dates include: Daredevil: Born Again (March 4th), Ironheart (June 24th), and Wonder Man (December). Following the release of Captain America: Brave New World, three MCU films are scheduled for this year: Thunderbolts (May) and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
