TheMarvel Cinematic Universe’s next TV series is confirmed to break a negative franchise trend, and it shows how things are changing for the better at Marvel Studios. The start of the Multiverse Saga led to Marvel being able to addMCU TV showsto the franchise’s long list of projects. Between live-action series, animated shows, Special Presentations, and shorts,Marvel’s foray into Disney+ has led to an elevated number of projectsin a short amount of time. Sadly, not everything worked.
The MCU’s TV shows were not produced in the traditional way, with no formal showrunners to oversee them. Adding to that, many of them were criticized due to wonky VFX, poor pacing, weak stories, and more.Marvel has shown that it is listening to the criticism, and a creative overhaul of the MCU’s TV side has changed things. Now, shows are developed with multi-season projects in mind by dedicated showrunners for each project. One ofMarvel Studios' upcoming projectswill be the first to showcase that new way of thinking, and the live-action series breaks a negative MCU trend.

Marvel Studios Now Has A Better TV Development Model
Brad Winderbaum’s confirmation thatDaredevil: Born Again season 2releases in 2026 means that the series will break a negative MCU trend. Until now, only one live-action Marvel Studios series has returned for a second season. The show in question was Tom Hiddleston’sLoki, but there was a two-year gap between seasons of the multiverse-heavy MCU series. All other live-action MCU shows on Disney+ were created as one-season limited series. As such,Daredevil: Born Again’s confirmed annual releases make itthe only live-action Marvel Studios series to release new seasons every year.
One of the biggest promises of the MCU’s new TV show development model is that Marvel is now looking into multi-season series.Daredevil: Born Againis making good on that promise with a creative overhaul and now a firm release schedule that makes it one of the MCU’s most interesting projects. Marvel is also looking at past shows to see if that new model could fit them, as Winderbaum recently confirmed thatthe studio is exploring makingHawkeyeseason 2.
