Marvel Developing a Second Comedy Series at ABC
We already knew that Marvel was developing a series for ABC called Damage Control. That’s the show that will tell the story of a group of people who clean up the messes left by superheroes doing battle in the city.
While at the Television Critics Association press tour party, ABC Entertainment Group President Paul Lee talked to IGN and had this to say about Damage Control:
"That's the one that's going to be coming out this season. I haven't read it yet. I can't wait to see it. We hope it's going to be great."
He went on to reveal that Marvel is working on another separate comedy series. He didn’t give any information on what it would be about. All he said was:
"We definitely want to do Marvel comedies as well as dramas and of course, as you know, we supply lots of dramas to Netflix.”
Lee was then asked about the DC Comics Universe Office-style comedy Powerless, and if he was concerned about it. His reply to that was:
"Our job is to make great television. We pick up the best scripts we can, we put in the best casts. Our job is to make great TV."
Marvel has been doing a solid job with the drama series’ they’ve developed already. I can’t wait to see them take things to a comedic level. I hope these two new shows that they’re developing end up being entertaining.
