Four new Marvel TV shows are heading to Hulu

Netflix's Marvel shows are being canceled left and right, but four new ones are in the works at rival streamer Hulu.
Hulu has announced a new deal with Marvel for four animated shows: MODOK, Hit-Monkey, Tigra & Dazzler and Howard the Duck, per The Hollywood Reporter. Similar to the deal Marvel previously struck with Netflix, these four shows will unite in a crossover event called The Offenders. Comedian Patton Oswalt is set to produce MODOK, while Chelsea Handler will produce Tigra & Dazzler and Kevin Smith will produce Howard the Duck. Variety reports the shows will be for adults.
These shows are coming from Marvel Television, the Disney-owned division of Marvel Entertainment that previously produced Netflix's Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. All three of those shows have been canceled, while Jessica Jones and The Punisher likely aren't long for this world, either. This is largely because Disney, which owns Marvel, is set to launch its own streaming service and will be focusing on Marvel originals exclusive to that platform, no longer interested in giving its content to Netflix, which will soon be its direct competitor.

The new Hulu deal makes sense, though, seeing as Disney will own a 60 percent stake in Hulu once its purchase of Fox goes through. Disney CEO Bob Iger has said Hulu will at that point become home to Disney content geared toward adults, such as these new Marvel shows, per The Verge. Everything else that's family-friendly and generally fits the Disney brand, including the new live-action shows set in the Marvel film universe, will live on Disney+, which launches later this year.
