List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series
Updated: Wikipedia source
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) television series are American superhero television shows produced by Marvel Television and Marvel Studios, based on characters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics. The series are set in, or inspired by, the shared universe of the MCU film franchise. The MCU first expanded to television after Marvel Television was formed in 2010, with that studio producing 12 series with ABC Studios and its production division ABC Signature Studios. These were released from September 2013 to October 2020 across broadcast on ABC, streaming on Netflix and Hulu, and cable on Freeform. The main ABC series were inspired by the films and featured film characters, while a connected group of series for Netflix crossed over with each other. Young adult focused series were produced for Freeform and Hulu. The latter also had a group of series called "Adventure into Fear" planned before Marvel Television was shut down in December 2019. Marvel Studios, the production studio behind the films, began developing their own series in 2018 for the streaming service Disney+. Some series focus on supporting characters from the films while others center on new characters that later appear in films. Marvel Studios' series have much larger budgets than the Marvel Television series and interconnect with the films in a way that the Marvel Television series did not. Marvel Studios also began producing animated series under its Marvel Studios Animation division, and television specials under the "Marvel Studios Special Presentation" banner. Actors from Marvel Television series have since reprised their roles for Marvel Studios productions. Eight series and two television specials were released by Marvel Studios as part of their Phase Four slate. Six new series and three continuing seasons were released in Phase Five, and at least four new series, four continuing seasons, and one television special are expected in Phase Six. Additional projects are in development for the future. In 2024, Marvel Studios began releasing its series under several different banners: "Marvel Television", not to be confused with the earlier company; "Marvel Animation", for animated series; and "Marvel Spotlight", which focuses on character-driven stories with less impact on the larger MCU narrative.
