The news has just been revealed that Hulu has renewed Marvel’s “Runaways” for a 10-episode third season. Given the cliff-hanger ending of season two, we are certainly thrilled to learn that we will be getting some more from this series. The battle between the teen Runaways and the Pride has come to a head, but some seriously terrifying new threats are lurking about in the shadows.
It has also been rumored that season three will focus more primarily on the teen cast rather than the adults who portray their parents, as they may only be featured in about 7 of the 10 new episodes.
“We are so excited to tell more Runaways stories and are so grateful to Marvel, Hulu, our amazing cast and crew and of course our passionate audience,” said co-showrunners and Executive Producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. “Season three will be a magical time on Runaways, as we deepen our connection to the Marvel universe. We are honored to continue to play in the sandbox created by Brian K Vaughn and Adrian Alphona.”
“Thank you, Hulu! We’re thrilled that Marvel’s Runaways is back for its third season,” said Executive Producer Jeph Loeb. “Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage and the amazing writers have something epic in store for our terrific cast.”
Marvel’s Runaways is executive produced by series showrunners/writers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (The O.C. and Gossip Girl) along with Marvel’s Head of Television, Jeph Loeb (Marvel’s Jessica Jones, Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger) and Quinton Peeples. Fake Empire’s Lis Rowinski produces as well. Marvel’s Runaways is a co-production with ABC Signature Studios.
