Marvel has been busy the past several years spreading out across the television landscape. What started on ABC with shows like Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. eventually led to a steady influx of properties adapted for Netflix in the form of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders and the upcoming Punisher series. Now, the Marvel Universe is making its debut on the Hulu streaming service with Marvel’s Runaways.
So why Hulu? Recently, comic legend Jeph Loeb spoke at New York Comic Con 2017 (via Screenrant) about why Hulu was the right home for Runaways:
“What we do with every show is we look at where the best place is. We absolutely had a lot on our plate at Netflix, but wasn’t the reason for it. We were very excited about the possibility of joining a network that was young and growing in the same way that when we went to Netflix it was young and growing on the original side. It really feels like we’re in the right place at the right time with the right show.”
