ABC And IMAX Reach Agreement To Distribute Marvel’s The Inhumans
ABC and Marvel Television reach a deal to premiere the first two episodes of The Inhumans in IMAX theaters before they air on television.
Shot entirely on IMAX digital cameras, the upcoming series is slated to debut in September 2017 in theaters around the world. The first two episodes, which will be edited for the release, will run for two weeks before the show properly premieres on ABC:
The Inhumans, a race of superhumans with diverse and singularly unique powers, were first introduced in Marvel Comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1965. Since that time, they have grown in prominence and become some of the most popular and iconic characters in the Marvel Universe. Marvel’s The Inhumans series will explore the never-before-told epic adventure of Black Bolt and the royal family.
ABC, IMAX and Marvel Television also intend to work together to create a joint marketing and promotion plan for the series across their proprietary media platforms – which would be the first such cross-platform marketing launch of a television series. Today’s agreement also marks IMAX’s first time as a financing participant in a TV pilot and series.
“This unprecedented alliance represents a bold, innovative approach to launching great TV content for a worldwide audience,” said Ben Sherwood, co-chairman, Disney Media Networks and president, Disney|ABC Television Group.
