Which Marvel TV Shows Are Still Coming To Hulu After Tons Of Cancellations?

For those who want to stream the live-action Marvel shows outside of Disney+, the future may be bleak. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, which used to be spread across different platforms, is now almost officially relegated to only a single streaming service.

Last fall and winter, it was announced that all of the Netflix MCU content, which included five different series, would be canceled. “Daredevil” and “Jessica Jones” had large fanbases when it was announced they wouldn’t return for more seasons. Last month, Freeform announced the cancellation of “Cloak and Dagger."

Recently, almost every Marvel Television-produced show -- sans the live-action drama "Helstrom" -- has officially gone the way of the “Agent Carter” and won’t be returning for more seasons, rather early on in their lifetimes. “Runaways” is the most recent show confirmed to not be returning for more seasons.

What tentatively remains on the release horizon is a handful of Marvel shows of the animated variety. These are the Marvel Television shows we know are still coming to Hulu, at least as of right now. Not much is known about these series, aside from the fact that they are all very early in development.

"Marvel's M.O.D.O.K."

The Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing, or "M.O.D.O.K.," is a highly disproportionate super-villain with a massive head and a tiny body. According to Entertainment Weekly, the premise follows the titular villain as he tries to balance running his evil organization, AIM, while maintaining a home life with a family. Comedian Patton Oswalt will write and produce "M.O.D.O.K."

"Marvel’s Hit-Monkey"

"Hit-Monkey" explores the story of a super-smart Japanese snow-monkey who is out for revenge against those who wronged him. After being mentored by a ghostly assassin, he leaves a violent path in his wake as he seeks justice. This off-color character often teams up with the equally adult-oriented Deadpool and Howard the Duck, the latter of whom is getting his own series as well.

"Marvel’s Howard The Duck"

Perhaps the most often-talked about oddball character in Marvel comics, Howard the Duck is an alien from a planet where ducks became the dominant species. The result is a foul-mouthed copy of Donald Duck who smokes cigars and investigates crimes. Howard did make his MCU debut as well, as a cameo character in both "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies and "Endgame."

Comic book enthusiast Kevin Smith, alongside Dave Willis, is writer and producer on "Howard the Duck."

"Marvel's Tigra & Dazzler"

The Hollywood Reporter reports the Hulu Marvel show effort “Tigra & Dazzler” is now experiencing delays due to “creative differences.” While just over a month away from ending its 20-week pre-production schedule, with many scripts and storyboards completely finished, Marvel has decided to find a new showrunner and writers. Their decision means they will be starting over completely from scratch in a significant creative blow to the series.

All of these shows will be more adult-oriented and culminate into an Avengers/Defenders-style crossover called "The Offenders."

As for the live-action crime-fighter shows, CinemaBlend reports that things really began to nose-dive for Hulu when the highly-anticipated “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” spinoff show “Ghost Rider,” based on the iconic titular hero, was canceled before production began with no official reason given. Looper cited “creative differences” in this case as well.

At press time, the animated Marvel cartoons, which are not in the MCU, are reportedly still heading to Hulu (Likely due to their adult audience. Disney+ is aiming for family-friendly content.), but remaining Hulu Marvel live-action shows are approaching the premieres of their final seasons, with “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” having one season remaining (airing summer on ABC) and “Runaways” airing its last episodes on Dec. 13.

Meanwhile, the Kevin Feige-led Marvel Studios is producing plenty of TV shows for Disney+ that will be very connected to the MCU. "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," "Wandavision," "Loki" and "Hawkeye" are among the limited series that will be connected to the films.
