Marvel Studios‘ upcoming Echo series will serve as the company’s first TV-MA Marvel Cinematic Universe series on Disney+.
As seen in the trailer released earlier today, Echo is rated TV-MA — the strongest rating a television show can receive, which is intended for mature audiences only. The end of the trailer says, “Set your Disney+ profile to TV-MA to stream,” making it the first Disney+ series from Marvel Studios to do so.
Though Netflix series like Daredevil had a TV-MA rating, those shows were produced by Marvel Television and ABC Studios. This is the first Marvel Studios TV-MA series made for Disney+ and Hulu with a definitively canon status in the MCU.
What is Echo about?
“The five-episode streaming event spotlights Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) as she is pursued by Wilson Fisk’s (Vincent D’Onofrio) criminal empire,” reads the new synopsis. “When the journey brings her home, she must confront her own family and legacy. All five episodes will stream on Jan. 10 on both platforms. They’ll be available on Hulu until April 9. This marks the first Marvel Studios series to drop all entirely bingeable episodes at once.”
The series stars Alaqua Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio (Hawkeye, Godfather of Harlem), Chaske Spencer (Wild Indian, The English), Graham Greene (1883, Goliath), Tantoo Cardinal (Killers of the Flower Moon, Stumptown), Devery Jacobs (FX’s Reservation Dogs, American Gods), Zahn McClarnon (Dark Winds, FX’s Reservation Dogs), and Cody Lightning (Hey, Viktor! Four Sheets to the Wind).
