Echo is coming soon to Disney+. The streaming service has announced a premiere date for the new Marvel series, and episodes will be simultaneously released on Hulu. The five-episode superhero series was initially set to arrive in November, but it was delayed due to the recent strikes in Hollywood.
In addition, it was revealed that Echo will have a “TV-MA” rating, so it will be the first Marvel series on Disney+ for a “mature audience.”
Starring Alaqua Cox, Zahn McClarnon, Vincent D’Onofrio, Charlie Cox, Chaske Spencer, Tantoo Cardinal, Devery Jacobs, Cody Lightning, and Graham Greene, the series follows Maya Lopez (Cox), the Native American deaf leader of the Tracksuit Mafia who first appeared on the Hawkeye series.
Disney+ revealed more about the upcoming series in a press release.
No bad deed goes unpunished on Jan. 10, 2024, when Marvel Studios’ “Echo” launches on Disney+ and Hulu. Check out the all-new trailer and poster revealed this morning. The five-episode streaming event spotlights Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) as she is pursued by Wilson Fisk’s (Vincent D’Onofrio) criminal empire. When the journey brings her home, she must confront her own family and legacy. All five episodes will stream on Jan. 10 on both platforms. They’ll be available on Hulu until April 9. This marks the first Marvel Studios series to drop all entirely bingeable episodes at once.

Episodes of the series are directed by Sydney Freeland (Navajo) and Catriona McKenzie (Gunaikurnai). Executive producers are Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Victoria Alonso, Richie Palmer, Jason Gavin (Blackfeet), Marion Dayre and Sydney Freeland. Co-executive producers are Jennifer L. Booth and Amy Rardin.
