After there had been much speculation as to whether or not
Marvel's New Warriors was going to make it out of
pilot-season purgatory after being pulled from Freefo
rm in November, but now
it seems whatever scheduling problems led to the show being pu
lled have since been rectified, as the show has been re-ordered for two 10-episode seasons (an aspect which was also part of the reports initially surrounding the project as it began pitching to new networks). But it seems it won't be alone, as The Hollywood Reporter is also saying
Freeform is eyeing another pickup:
America Chavez.
While there is n
o report as to whether
or not Cloak and Dagger may also get an early pickup, it seems
like both New Warriors and the upcoming America Chavez
show have both scored early 10-episode multi-season pickups prior to Freeforms nearing Upfront presentation, to lure in new advertisers to the network. Having recently cancelled the sophomore series Beyond, it seems that Freeform has decided to go all in on their upcoming 3 Marvel programs. Both America Chavez and Squirrel Girl are also expected to appear in Marvel's upcoming animated project
Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors, which will even feature Milana Vayntraub portraying Squirrel Girl in both the animated and live-action versions of the character.
