Marvel’s new series premiering for the first time in June 2018 most likely won’t be coming to Netflix in either the United States and the United Kingdom. We’ve got full details on the shows streaming plans plus some Marvel alternatives you can watch on Netflix instead.
Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe is as strong now as its ever been, it’s had a bit of a harder time adapting to the TV. Last years Inhumans is a prime example as it failed to win the approval of either fans or critics resulting in its cancelation. Likewise, some of Netflix’s own Defenders series being less than stellar.
The new series adapts the comic book of the same name into a TV series format. The two main characters are played by Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joeseph discover their new powers year later after an oil rig home to an experiment gifted them with powers. The pair come from very different backgrounds and throughout they find they’re constantly drawn to each other.
Netflix is no stranger to the Marvel universe. It is the exclusive host of The Defenders universe where new seasons are releasing every three to five months. It’s also, at least in the US, been the recipient of brand new Marvel theatrical movies thanks to the Disney contract.
