Peak TV continues as the second season of The Runaways hit Hulu from Marvel at the end of 2018 and I still haven’t had a chance to see it. The third season is scheduled for a December 13th, 2019 debut where Elizabeth Hurley has joined the series in the role of Morgan Le Fey. With the season closing in on us, the show had a panel at NYCC where we got the new summary laid out, the main key visual for it, and the trailer that gives us a really good handle on the craziness ahead for everyone.
The cast includes Rhenzy Feliz as Alex Wilder, Lyrica Okano as Nico Minoru, Virginia Gardner as Karolina Dean, Ariela Barer as Gert Yorkes, Gregg Sulkin as Chase Stein, Allegra Acosta as Molly Hernandez, Ryan Sands as Geoffrey Wilder, Angel Parker as Catherine Wilder, Brittany Ishibashi as Tina Minoru, James Yaegashi as Robert Minoru, Brigid Brannagh as Stacey Yorkes, Annie Wersching as Leslie Dean, Kip Pardue as Frank Dean, James Marsters as Victor Stein, and Ever Carradine as Janet Stein.
Based on the comic created by the award-winning team of Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona, it works the story of kids who discover that their parents are part of an evil criminal organization. A film was previously in early stages of development but never progressed forward that much.
The series has a solid staffing being put together to develop it as it’s Executive Produced by series Co-Showrunners/writers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (“THE O.C.”, “GOSSIP GIRL”) along with Marvel’s Head of Television, Jeph Loeb (“Marvel’s Jessica Jones,” “Marvel’s Luke Cage”) and Jim Chory (“Marvel’s Daredevil,” “Marvel’s Jessica Jones.”) Fake Empire’s Lisa Rowinski will produce as well. Marvel’s Runaways is a co-production with ABC Signature Studios.=
Plot concept: In an action-packed Season 3, the Runaways frantically search for their captured friends Chase Stein, Gert Yorkes, and Karolina Dean. The kids go head to head with an unstoppable enemy who has targeted Leslie — or more accurately, the child she’s carrying. Nico Minoru draws them all into a dark realm where its ruler Morgan le Fay, played by Elizabeth Hurley, is much more nefarious than anyone the kids have yet to face.
