Marvel And ABC Are Developing A Second Comedy Series Alongside DAMAGE CONTROL
It looks like the MCU is about to become an even funnier place as ABC has confirmed today that they're moving ahead with yet another comedy series after previously announcing a sitcom revolving around the Damage Control team. What will this one be about though?
Are superhero sitcoms the next big thing? Both Marvel and DC seem to think so, and the former have revealed today that they're working on a second sitcom following the previously announced Damage Control. ABC Entertainment Group President Paul Lee revealed the news in an interview with IGN, commenting first on their plans for the group who clean up the messes left by superheroes battling in their city. "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." While he wouldn't reveal what this second show is going to revolve around, he did confirm that they're hoping it will be on ABC and added that he's not concerned about NBC recently picking up DC's Powerless. "We definitely want to do Marvel comedies as well as dramas and of course, as you know, we supply lots of dramas to Netflix. 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." While these shows certainly sound like fun, could these networks be stretching the premise a little too thinly? Share your thoughts below.
