New Warriors
ABC Studios and Marvel Studios have greenlighted Freeform’s New Warriors, to be released in 2018. Based on a team of mutants, the series will begin with ten 30-minute episodes. What’s most interesting is that New Warriors is described as a comedy, a new genre among successful comic book TV shows.
Sure, this year’s Powerless (DC Comics) made an attempt, but we know how that ended.
Described as a series about superpowered young adults, New Mutants will reportedly focus on Doreen Green/Squirrel Girl, Craig Hollis/Mister Immortal, Dwayne Taylor/Night Thrasher, Robbie Baldwin/Speedball, Zach Smith/Microbe, and Deborah Fields/Debrii.
With its 2018 release date, we have no information about this series beyond these rumored characters.
The Defenders
We’re really excited about this show, which unites all of the major Netflix superheroes, including Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist to fight the threat of Sigourney Weaver’s Alexandra. We don’t know much about Alexandra, except that she possesses some awesome superpowers.
Besides the leads, several characters from the solo series will also appear in The Defenders, including Claire Temple (who appeared in all of the solo series), Elektra (we believe she’s the Hand’s weapon in Defenders), Foggy Nelson, Misty Knight, Trish Walker, and even Madame Gao.
The first trailer got us all pumped to see the show. We can’t wait to see the hallway fight scene, which will certainly be the highlight of the first season.

The Defenders will be released on the 18th of August, so we won’t have to wait too long to watch!
