Marvel Television has reportedly put three shows on hold: Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc. Sources at Deadline report these projects weren't officially greenlit, leaving their future uncertain, though not necessarily cancelled. Marvel's strategic shift reflects a change in priorities.
This realignment comes as Marvel Studios gears up for the Disney+ release of Daredevil: Born Again. Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming and TV at Marvel Studios, recently announced the exploration of reuniting the street-level heroes of The Defenders—Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist.

Marvel Studios is now prioritizing development of more shows than previously, but as Winderbaum stated to Screen Rant last year, "We’re really being careful about what we choose to do next.”
The pause on Nova is particularly surprising, especially considering that just two months ago, former Criminal Minds showrunner Ed Bernero was announced as writer and showrunner, with Nova confirmed as a Disney+ series. 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 on Terror, Inc. remain scarce.
Confirmed Marvel TV show release dates include: Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+ March 4th, Ironheart on June 24th, and Wonder Man in December. Three MCU films are also slated for release this year, following Captain America: Brave New World, with Thunderbolts in May and The Fantastic Four: First Steps to follow.
