Hulu found great success with Stephen King adaptation 11.22.63 not too long ago and they're now entering the world of superheroes with Marvel's Runaways. The show hails from executive producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and it's now been confirmed that the online streaming service has picked it up for a full series order. The current plan is for it to premiere sometime in winter 2018.
Based on the comics by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona, the live-action Runways tells the coming-of-age story of a disparate group of teenagers who, "must unite against a common foe - their parents." That lot are part of a crime organisation known as The Pride, a group which hosts an annual "charity" gathering that serves as a meeting place for nefarious time-travelers, wizards, mad scientists, aliens and mutants. It definitely sounds like a premise with a lot of potential as a television series.
Also below is a first look at the cast, and while Old Lace is nowhere to be seen, it's fair to say the cast looks a lot like their comic book counterparts. The costumes aren't an exact match, but the styles look right, and they're all striking almost identical poses. Do you think this show will be good?
