Marvel’s ‘Tigra & Dazzler’ Hulu Series Fires Showrunner & Writers


 

Marvel is changing course on one of its four adult-themed animated comedies at Hulu.

Tigra & Dazzler Show showrunner Erica Rivinoja (Girls Trip, The Addams Family) and the comedy’s entire writing staff have been let go from the series following creative differences with Marvel. Sources say Rivinoja and her team had completed multiple scripts and outlines for others and were 15 weeks into a planned 20-week production cycle.

Production on the show has been paused as sources note Marvel plans to hire a new showrunner and have them build their own writing team as part of a larger creative overhaul. All of the work Rivinoja and her staff had completed is being thrown out. Sources say Hulu and Marvel — who both declined comment — remain committed to making Tigra & Dazzler.

 

This is actually an interesting decision to see that they are willing to stop production until things are the way they want them. Let’s see how it works out.
