Said pilot, produced by Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios, was shot back in 2017 after New Warriors received a ten-episode series order from Freeform, which intended on launching the series in 2018.

The pilot for New Warriors starred Derek Theler (Craig Hollis/Mister Immortal), Milana Vayntrub (Doreen Green/Squirrel Girl), Jeremy Tardy (Dwayne Taylor/Night Thrasher), Calum Worthy (Robbie Baldwin/Speedball), Matthew Moy (Zach Smith/Microbe) and Kate Comer (Deborah Fields/Debrii). Here’s a look at the cast along with showrunner Kevin Biegel as they initially reacted to the news that Freeform was passing on the show…
