First TV-MA Marvel Studios series 'Echo' debuts on Disney+ and Hulu in January

Marvel's 'Echo' deviates from its typical storytelling strategy, rolling out all episodes at once, and showcasing a more violent, mature narrative. It is also the first series to simultaneously debut on both Disney+ and Hulu, marking a shift in the studio's audience targeting approach.

Marvel's new TV series 'Echo' is set to deviate from its typical storytelling strategy by simultaneously debuting on both Disney+ and Hulu and releasing all episodes at once.
'Echo' marks Marvel's first TV-MA rated series, showcasing a more violent, mature narrative.
The series features a more grounded, character-driven story, focusing on 'street-level stakes' instead of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe continuity.
Starring Alaqua Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio, 'Echo' explores the life of Maya Lopez, a deaf, Native American anti-hero who is pursued by Wilson Fisk's (aka Kingpin) criminal empire.
The series is the first to center on a deaf and Native American character, and the first superhero series to be made entirely available for binging at once, marking a new TV strategy for Marvel.
The more mature and violent tone of 'Echo' signals a possible shift in Marvel's approach to its properties, allowing for wider storytelling possibilities and varied content ratings.
