Hulu is sticking with Marvel’s Runaways. The streamer has renewed the series for a third season.
Runaways will return for another 10 episodes & the news was first announced Sunday by co-star James Marsters & was later confirmed by the streamer. The episode order is on par with season one while it’s three off from its sophomore run.
Season two of the Marvel series debuted December 21. Hulu content chief Craig Erwich hinted that the show would likely be back when he told reporters in February that he was happy with its performance. (Hulu, like other streamers, does not release viewership data for its originals.)
Executive producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage had this to say about the renewal:
“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. 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.”
The renewal arrives as Disney bought Fox’s 30 percent stake in Hulu as part of its $71.3 billion asset deal that also included Fox’s film and TV studio.
