Marvel Television has reportedly placed three shows – Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. – on hold. According to Deadline, these projects weren't officially greenlit and might still be developed, but Marvel has adjusted its priorities.
This strategic shift coincides with Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again. This week, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' head of streaming and TV, revealed the studio's exploration of reuniting the street-level heroes of The Defenders (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist).

Marvel Studios is now focusing on developing a larger number of shows than it produces, reflecting Winderbaum's previous statement to Screen Rant: “We’re really being careful about what we choose to do next.”
The Nova news is particularly surprising, especially considering that just two months ago, Ed Bernero, the 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 the magic school established by Doctor Strange, with Wong as the headmaster. Details on Terror, Inc. remain scarce.
Confirmed Marvel TV show release dates include: Daredevil: Born Again (March 4th, Disney+), Ironheart (June 24th, Disney+), and Wonder Man (December, Disney+). Following Captain America: Brave New World, three MCU films are scheduled for release this year: Thunderbolts (May) and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
