Marvel Pauses Development on Three Disney+ Series as TV Strategy Shifts

Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror Inc. are on hold as Marvel focuses on smaller-scale, grounded TV projects and retools its development process.

Marvel has paused work on Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror Inc., none of which had been officially greenlit, as part of a strategic shift in its television approach.
The decision reflects Marvel's move toward more grounded and cost-effective series, following criticism of oversaturation and inconsistent quality in recent years.
Nova, the furthest along in development, would have expanded the cosmic Nova Corps storyline, while Strange Academy was to focus on Wong training young magic users, and Terror Inc. centered on the antihero Terror.
Marvel's new development model involves creating projects internally before announcing them, aiming to prioritize quality over quantity and avoid rushed productions.
Upcoming Marvel TV content includes Daredevil: Born Again, which premieres March 4, signaling a return to street-level storytelling and a potential revival of Netflix-era Marvel characters.
