Marvel Television has reportedly placed three shows, Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc., on hold. According to Deadline, these projects weren't officially greenlit and might still be produced, but Marvel has adjusted its strategic priorities.
This shift coincides with Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again. Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming and TV at Marvel Studios, recently indicated an exploration of reuniting the street-level heroes of The Defenders (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist).

Marvel Studios is now focusing on developing a larger volume of shows than it's currently producing, but as Winderbaum stated to Screen Rant last year, the company is exercising caution in selecting future projects.
The Nova news is particularly unexpected, especially considering that just two months ago, Ed Bernero (former Criminal Minds showrunner) was announced as writer and showrunner, with Nova confirmed for Disney+. For more details on Nova, refer to IGN's comprehensive article.
Strange Academy, anticipated to center around Doctor Strange's magic school with Wong as headmaster, is also affected. Details on Terror, Inc. remain scarce.
Confirmed Marvel TV release dates include: Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+, March 4th), Ironheart (June 24th), and Wonder Man (December). Following Captain America: Brave New World, three MCU films are scheduled for release this year: Thunderbolts (May) and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
