Marvel Television is back – or, at least the name is. Five years after the comic book giant's TV-focused subdivision, which was behind Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and Netflix shows like Daredevil, was folded into Marvel Studios, the Disney subsidiary's new shows are getting their own dedicated banner to distinguish them from the sea of superhero flicks on Disney Plus.
That's right, as executives try to differentiate their small screen and big screen offerings, forthcoming shows like Ironheart, Daredevil: Born Again, and Agatha All Along will live under the Marvel Television banner. A key part of Marvel's new strategy, it seems, is helping these spin-off series work as standalone stories, without viewers needing an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) to follow along.
