The news seems to give reason to the sudden cancellation of Marvel’s past popular shows, such as ‘Daredevil,’ ‘Jessica Jones‘ and ‘Punisher.’ ‘The Runaways’ and ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ will reportedly finish out their third and seventh seasons, respectively, before ending.
The yet-to-be-released animated series, ‘Hit Monkey,’ ‘Tigra & Dazzler,’ ‘Howard the Duck’ and ‘M.O.D.O.K’ are still expected to debut on Hulu, but are currently in production limbo.
