Marvel And ABC Are Developing A Second Comedy Series Alongside DAMAGE CONTROL
ABC is currently in development on a second Marvel comedy beyond the previously announced Damage Control.
Speaking with IGN at ABC's 2016 winter Television Critics Association press tour party, ABC Entertainment Group President Paul Lee revealed that his network has two Marvel comedies in development.
Damage Control will be a half-hour, single-camera sitcom about the people who clean up the messes left by superheroes battling in their city. Of Damage Control, Lee said, "That's the one that's going to be coming out this season. I haven't read it yet. I can't wait to see it. We hope it's going to be great."
Lee declined to share what the second comedy will be about, but did say "in the long term, we'd love it to be" on ABC. "We definitely want to do Marvel comedies as well as dramas and of course, as you know, we supply lots of dramas to Netflix," he said.
When asked if there was any concern over the fact NBC ordered a pilot for a half-hour DC Comics universe-set office comedy Powerless, Lee said, "Our job is to make great television. We pick up the best scripts we can, we put in the best casts. Our job is to make great TV."
