Marvel swears it's still into this whole "streaming TV" thing, announces new spy-thriller show Zodiac
Marvel revealed at New York Comic-Con today that it's renewing its interest in streaming TV, announcing a new spy thriller show called Zodiac.
Contrary to the belief that Marvel's streaming TV experiment might have fizzled out, the House of Ideas introduced plans for a fresh show at New York Comic-Con. The new series, named Zodiac, is described as a spy thriller and is set to air on Disney+ sometime in 2028. While there is a Marvel Comics group by the same name, it consists of supervillains who mirror their personas after astrological signs.
The origins of the Zodiac organization in the comics do not align with the "spy thriller" genre, despite the intriguing title. Nevertheless, the "A" in the show's title design features the emblem from the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo. Additionally, spy-themed content is generally more budget-friendly compared to superhero-themed productions, as it involves fewer big explosions and space portals.
Marvel's move to unveil Zodiac highlights that it is not giving up on its TV shows on Disney+; however, the development of MCU-set series may take a hiatus throughout 2027.
