Marvel Television announced a new live-action series called "Zodiac" during its Television and Animation panel at New York Comic Con on October 8, 2026, held on the convention's Empire Stage. The studio described it as a spy thriller and confirmed it will stream on Disney+ in 2028, according to Looper and ScreenRant, both of which covered the panel.
Brad Winderbaum of Marvel Television presented the title and its logo to the NYCC crowd, Gizmodo reported. No synopsis, cast or writing/directing team was revealed. Gizmodo quoted Winderbaum telling the audience, "If you're a fan of the comics, there's a lot hidden in that logo."
What is known about production
According to CBR, filming is expected to begin in London in spring 2027, with casting due to start within a few weeks of the announcement. ScreenRant separately reported that production is set to begin in 2027. Collider reported that plot details are "being kept under wraps," and none of the outlets that covered the panel listed an episode count, showrunner or any confirmed cast member.

Where the name comes from
In Marvel Comics, Zodiac is a criminal organization whose members take codenames from astrological signs and generally act as antagonists to the spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D., according to Knightedgemedia and Looper's panel coverage. CBR reported that the group's leader, Scorpio, is identified in the comics as Jacob Fury, a younger brother of Nick Fury.
CBR also described the show's logo as incorporating scattered elements of the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo. Gizmodo reported two separate fan theories circulating after the reveal: that the letter "O" in the logo echoes Tony Stark's Arc Reactor design, and that the letter "A" is shaped like the S.H.I.E.L.D. emblem, fueling speculation about a possible link to the show "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Marvel has not confirmed either reading.
Where it fits among Marvel's Disney+ plans
ScreenRant reported that the project had circulated in earlier reporting from The Hollywood Reporter before Marvel confirmed it on stage at NYCC. The outlet also noted the announcement followed the cancellation of "Wonder Man" and came alongside confirmation that "Daredevil: Born Again" will end with a third season in 2027, a point also covered by Knightedgemedia and Looper.
Looper's panel recap listed other reveals from the same NYCC session: three "Marvel Zombies" specials dated for 2027, 2028 and 2029 (subtitled "Winter Soldier," "Fist of Khonshu" and "The Last Guardian" respectively), a second season of "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" set for January 13, 2027, new footage from "X-Men '97" season 3, and the premiere of "VisionQuest," starring Paul Bettany and James Spader, on October 14, 2026.
If you're a fan of the comics, there's a lot hidden in that logo.
