Kamala Khan is making her broadcast TV debut subsequent month, as Ms. Marvel can be airing on ABC.
In accordance with Laughing Place, the Marvel Studios sequence will come to Disney’s primetime TV community, with the primary three episodes to air on August 5 through the 7 PM, 8 PM, and 9 PM timeslots. The ultimate three episodes will air the next week on August 12 and run on the identical instances. Disney+ reveals have beforehand come to ABC inside the final yr: Andor’s first two episodes aired throughout Thanksgiving week, and episodes of The Mandalorian hit the community again in February forward of its third season. In the event you don’t have Disney+ (or a pal to crib it off from), this’ll be your one and certain solely alternative to catch Ms. Marvel on common TV, albeit with commercials and doubtless some edits as properly.
Ms. Marvel marks the primary Marvel Studios present to come back to ABC, which ought to be a fairly large deal. And it’d be greater than becoming, given Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan is about to headline The Marvels in November. However within the wake of the lately began SAG-AFTRA strike and the two-month previous WGA Strike, it’s clearly simply meant to fill time since practically each Hollywood manufacturing on the TV and movie facet have been shut down. This kind of technique was already identified when the writers had been placing—in Might, ABC deliberate to get round this by airing unscripted actuality reveals and a few Abbott Elementary reruns. With the actors now placing, it might be that we find yourself seeing some extra Marvel Studios or Star Wars reveals come to ABC: it concurrently will get to really feel like slightly occasion, and in addition a blessing for many who don’t have Disney’s streaming service.
No matter what streaming reveals really hit broadcast TV, it looks like a band-aid over the bigger Hollywood concern. And the strike can be particularly damaging for Marvel when its stars can’t do promo for any of its reveals or motion pictures—and one of many first of those to be affected is The Marvels, which involves theaters on November 10.
