Marvel Television has reportedly placed three shows, Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror, Inc., on hold. According to Deadline, these projects weren't officially greenlit and might still be produced, but Marvel has adjusted its strategic priorities.
This shift coincides with Marvel Studios' upcoming Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again. Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' head of streaming and TV, recently indicated an exploration of reuniting the street-level heroes of The Defenders (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist).

Marvel Studios is now focusing on developing a larger number of shows than previously, but as Winderbaum stated to Screen Rant last year, "We’re really being careful about what we choose to do next.”
The Nova news is particularly unexpected, especially considering that just two months ago, Ed Bernero (former Criminal Minds showrunner) was announced as writer and showrunner, with Nova confirmed for Disney+. For more details on Nova, see IGN's comprehensive article.
Strange Academy was anticipated to center around the magic school established by Doctor Strange, with Wong as the headmaster. Information regarding Terror, Inc. remains scarce.
Confirmed Marvel TV release dates include: Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+, March 4th), Ironheart (June 24th), and Wonder Man (December). Following Captain America: Brave New World, three MCU films are slated for release this year: Thunderbolts (May) and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
