10 Upcoming TV Shows Nobody Asked For
10. Echo
While not all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's TV shows on Disney+ have been certified bangers, they've all at least presented an inherent justification for their existence; they featured characters that fans wanted to see.
It's a harder argument to make for the upcoming Echo, though, which will focus on the title character, aka Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox), the deaf Native American warrior and former Tracksuit Mafia member who first appeared in 2021's Hawkeye series.
Echo was a fine enough character in that show, but did anyone come away from it wanting to see her star in her own series? It would've made far more sense to keep Echo on as a supporting character in another series - say, the new Daredevil show - and develop her that way.
While there's always the possibility that Echo is a pleasant surprise and a great show we never knew we wanted, it's much easier to believe that it'll end up feeling like filler content to plug some gaps in the Disney+ pipeline - the MCU's version of The Book of Boba Fett, basically.
All this, combined with extensive production delays amid rumours that the show has had a troubled shoot, make it difficult to be optimistic or in any way excited about Echo.
