“I’m a long-time fan of Runaways and couldn’t be more excited to bring Brian and Adrian’s characters to life,” said Schwartz to Deadline, who broke the news.
Added Savage, “Josh and I can’t wait to get to work for Marvel and Hulu.”
“We’ve known the Runaways‘ story would make great television,” said Jeph Loeb, EP and Head of Marvel Television, “and being lucky enough to have Josh and Stephanie — who have time and again created shows that speak so genuinely to this exact audience — write and produce the series is nothing short of remarkable.”
The Runaways was previously in development as a movie with Iron Man 3 scripter Drew Pearce actually turning in a draft, but it seems that a Runaways TV series has now taken priority,
No news at this stage as to when we’ll see the Runaways TV series on Hulu, but we’ll keep you posted.
