Development

[edit]

Marvel Studios was developing a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) project featuring the Marvel Comics character Richard Rider / Nova by March 2022, with Sabir Pirzada writing.[2] Pirzada previously served as a writer on Marvel Studios' Disney+ miniseries Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel.[2][3] It was unclear whether the project was a series or film, but Justin Kroll of Deadline Hollywood reported that it was likely to be a Disney+ limited series.[2][4] Earlier in the month, Production Weekly had included a space-focused Marvel television series for Disney+ in their report of upcoming projects in development,[5][6] and later confirmed that this was the Nova project. Pirzada was listed as a producer,[7] alongside Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.[2] Development on the series slowed down by February 2023, when Disney and Marvel Studios were re-evaluating their content output and costs.[8]

By October 2023, Marvel Studios shifted their creative philosophy to a more traditional television development process, moving away from head writers and beginning to hire dedicated showrunners for their series.[9] Brad Winderbaum, the head of streaming, television, and animation at Marvel Studios, confirmed in March 2024 that a Nova project was in early development and said he was aiming to develop it as a series.[10] A few months later, he said the character had "a lot of potential" and was a project the studio was particularly excited about developing.[11] Feige confirmed in July that the project was being developed as a series and would feature the Richard Rider version of Nova. He anticipated that it would be released three or four years later.[1] In September, Winderbaum said the series would feature an ensemble cast similar to the science fiction franchises Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica, and would depict the "heated" nature of Richard Rider's world from the comics.[12] In December 2024, Ed Bernero was hired to write the series and serve as showrunner.[13]
