Marvel Teaming With Netflix to Develop Four Live-Action Superhero TV Shows & a Mini-Series

Disney’s Marvel announced that it will team up with Netflix to develop four live-action adventure TV shows and a mini-series based on popular Marvel superheroes. The series, scheduled to begin in 2015, will focus on Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage.

Netflix has committed to a minimum of four, thirteen episodes series and a culminating Marvel’s “The Defenders” mini-series event that reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters. Produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Television Studios, this groundbreaking deal is Marvel’s most ambitious foray yet into live-action TV storytelling.
