Title says it all, Hulu has ordered a live action series of the Marvel comic book series Runaways [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaways_(comics)] to add to Hulu's original content catalogue. How it'll work out is beyond me, but given Marvel's track record I'm going in optimistic.

Though I am wondering how us up here in Canukistan will get it as we don't get Hulu. It'll most likely either be on Netflix Canada or CraveTV. Bell and Disney have a long history of broadcasting cooperation so that means it may be on CraveTV, but I'm hoping it'll be on Netflix Canada as that's the one I'm currently paying for and it also have a larger userbase.

Is it part of MCU? I actually hope not cause...fuck Hulu.

I am pretty excited about this news. I hope they don't botch it, the comic was so good.

Aren't some of the members mutants? If this is part of the MCU, how exactly is that going to work with the deal with Fox?

They'll make them Inhumans probably.

Only Molly is a mutant. Easily changed to an Inhuman or generic mutate (parents exposed to radiation or some such)

I'm interested but if it sucks I won't lose much sleep over it. I've heard it was a good series but I've never gotten around to reading it at all, so I've got like zero attachment to the characters.

And to whoever asked, as far as I know it IS part of the larger MCU.

Read it now, this is the series that got me into comics

That sucks, I love Runaways but Hulu is simply not available in my region so I won't watch it, I was really hoping they'd make it into a movie.

Given that this is Disney we're talking about, they'll probably make a deal with entities to have it released internationally (most likely through Netflix). There's simply no way in hell Disney's going to have this series only be available to American audiences.
