‘Marvel’s Runaways’ Officially Renewed For 10-Episode Season 3 – Get the Details
James Marsters let the news slip this weekend — Hulu has renewed Marvel’s Runaways for a third season. Here is more information.
Season 3 of the series, from showrunners/writers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, Marvel TV and ABC Signature, will consist of 10 episodes, down from the 13-episode second season and on par with the episode count in Season 1. That has been a trend for streaming series across the board as 10 has proven optimal for binging.
