ABC has given a green light to
Marvel’s The Inhumans, a live-action TV series from
Marvel Television. It will premiere on the network in fall 2017.
This is the other shoe to drop after Disney this spring p
ulled a planned Inhumans feature film from its July 12, 2019 release date. Several movies in the series has been planned, and the first one had a script by Joe Robert Cole (
Black Panther). Originally,
Inhumans was part of Marvel’s 3.0 phase, with the studio delving even deeper into their vaults to launch more of their niche superheros on the big screen.
As part of TV series deal unveiled today, the first two episodes of the superhero series will debut on
Imax screens exclusively for two weeks ahead of the fall premiere on the broadcast network. ABC, Imax and Marvel TV plan to create a joint marketing and promotion plan; the move marks the giant-screen exhibitor’s first time as a financing participant in a TV pilot and series.
The series will be produced by Marvel TV and ABC Studios and filmed with Imax digital cameras.
The Inhumans are a race of superhumans with diverse and singularly unique powers, first introduced in Marvel Comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1965. The TV series will explore the never-before-told epic adventure of Black Bolt and the royal family.
“This unprecedented alliance represents a bold, innovative approach to launching great TV content for a worldwide audience,” said Ben Sherwood, co-chairman, Disney Media Networks and president, Disney-ABC Television Group. “It highlights Disney-ABC’s unrelenting commitment to finding new and creative ways to showcasing our very best programming and increasing global engagement and reach.”
ABC currently has one Marvel series on the air,
Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.Agent Carter ended its run last spring after two seasons. Additionally, Marvel has the six series on Netflix as well as the upcoming X-Men offshoot
Legion on FX,
Runaways on Hulu and
Cloak and Dagger at Freeform.
