Disney Greenlights ‘Marvel’s New Warriors’ Live Action Comedy Straight To Series

Disney’s US channel Freeform has given a ‘straight to series’ order to Marvel’s New Warriors, a live action superhero comedy series they have announced today.

The show consists of a teenage/young adult super team of 6 people, who live, as well as work together. With powers and abilities on the opposite end of the spectrum of The Avengers, the New Warriors want to make a difference in the world… Even if the world isn’t ready. Not quite super, not yet heroes, Marvel’s New Warriors is about that time in your life when you first enter adulthood and feel like you can do everything and nothing at once – except in this world, bad guys can be as terrifying as bad dates.

The series will feature fan-favorite ‘Squirrel Girl’ (aka Doreen Green) as a totally empowering fan girl – tough, optimistic and a natural leader. Doreen is confident and has the powers of a squirrel… She’s acrobatic, can fight and talk to other squirrels. Her most important trait is that she has faith in people and teaches them to believe in themselves.

Marvel’s New Warriors have always been fan favorites, and now particularly with the addition of Squirrel Girl,” commented Marvel boss Jeph Loeb. “They are Marvel Television favorites as well,” he added.

There’s no casting announced yet, but Freeform has ordered 10 x 30 minute episodes, and is slated to debut (in the US) in 2018. Obviously it’s way too early for any UK information, but we’ll let you know more when we have it.
