Marvel Television has reportedly placed three shows on hold: Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. Sources at Deadline indicate these projects lacked official greenlighting and their future remains uncertain, though Marvel's priorities have shifted.
This strategic change coincides with Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again. This week, Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming and TV at Marvel Studios, revealed the company's exploration of reuniting the street-level heroes of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist—the Defenders.

Marvel Studios is currently prioritizing the development of numerous shows, but as Winderbaum stated to Screen Rant last year: "We’re really being careful about what we choose to do next.”
The Nova news is particularly unexpected, especially considering former Criminal Minds showrunner Ed Bernero's involvement as writer and showrunner just two months ago, with Nova confirmed for Disney+. For more details on Nova, see IGN's comprehensive article.
Strange Academy was anticipated to center around the magic school established by Doctor Strange, with Wong as headmaster. Information regarding Terror, Inc. remains unavailable.
Confirmed Marvel TV show release dates include: Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+, March 4th), Ironheart (June 24th), and Wonder Man (December). Following Captain America: Brave New World, three MCU films are slated for release this year: Thunderbolts (May) and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
