TV Shows In Development
Marvel Comics/Hulu

Marvel have already successfully branched out into TV on three different networks now, with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (and previously Agent Carter) on ABC, the Defenders universe on Netflix, and now the launch of Legion on FX to critical acclaim (though the last one isn't part of the MCU).

Next up, they're turning their attentions to Hulu, a streaming service yet to make a truly big splash in the market.

The series sees six kids from different backgrounds, who wouldn't typically be friends, realise that their parents are all members of the villainous organisation as the Pride. Together they decide to run away and use their inherited abilities for good.

It's an interesting, unique, and diverse comic story that should play well on TV (especially given the quality of most Marvel shows so far), while the recently announced cast includes James Masters and Ever Carradine as members of the Pride, and Virginia Gardner and Gregg Sulkin among the kids.
