Networks for new Marvel TV series?

IMO, there are enough avenues for Marvel to keep cranking out TV series and they're sitting on enough IP to keep them going for a good, long time.



I also feel like if it isn't connected to Defenders, Netflix isn't the network.



For instance, I'd put Avengers Academy, New Warriors and Runaways on ABC Family since that network is marketed towards teenagers and its most successful shows have been teen dramas.



Power Pack would skew even younger so it could easily fit on Disney Channel and be marketed towards small children.



Hawkeye is connected to SHIELD and he's the least popular Avenger seen so far, so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a TV show instead of a feature film. His stories are also pretty grounded and he's also kind of a loner who'll team up with the Avengers but also doesn't really cross over with their stories much. He also isn't a character who gets into adventures you couldn't see on Network TV which is another plus.



Moon Knight and Elektra absolutely fit into the Defenders world and thus should be put on Netflix.



I'd look to put Punisher on a premium cable channel since his stories are mostly self-contained and he's also Marvel's edgiest, grittiest hero of all who does the impossible by being even more violent than Ghost Rider. HBO and Cinemax are owned by Warner and Showtime is owned by CBS which has formed a joint venture with Warner for the CW, so it's unlikely that we'll see anything on those networks since they'd rather do a DC show on those networks.



Starz has a great relationship with both Disney and Sony which are two of the three studios making Marvel films and the two working on the MCU. So if there is to be a Punisher show, it would need to be free of any sort of censorship which makes Starz the place to put it. Think an NC-17 level of content which could be mistaken for Game of Guns as every villain meets a terrifyingly graphic end that you'd need a strong stomach to watch. I'm talking a Dexter or Spartacus level of adult content to the point where it will be labeled the most violent show ever put on television.



She-Hulk is one I go back and forth on. Part of me feels like she's a street level hero and a Defender, she should be on Netflix but the Netflix series are also much darker than She-Hulk and Doctor Strange and Spider-Man are getting their own films but they're also very likely to show up on Defenders. She-Hulk is also a legal sitcom which could work on ABC but she's also not connected to SHIELD at all. I feel like she could work on either Network, but I'd put her on ABC but still have her appear on Defenders on Netflix.



Eternals, Thunderbolts and Ghost Rider are all too expensive for TV so they'd need films. I'd also give Black Widow a film rather than a TV show since her stories are either graphic novels or miniseries and as a result, she's better suited to film as a medium.
