In an exclusive by The Hollywood Reporter, it was revealed that Marvel’s relationship with Freeform will be expanding in comedic territory with a new straight-to-series order for their ‘New Warriors’ property. This will be the first live action TV comedy for Marvel and Marvel’s second show with Freeform.
A general synopsis for the series is below:
New Warriors revolves around six young people with powers living and working together. With powers and abilities on the opposite end of the spectrum of The Avengers, the New Warriors want to make a difference in the world…even if the world isn’t ready. With Freeform focused on a group dubbed “becomers” — those experiencing a series of firsts in life, including first loves and first jobs — New Warriors explores the journey into adulthood, except in this world, they’re not quite super and not yet heroes and the guys can be as terrifying as bad dates.

The series will be 10 episodes long and will be released sometime in 2018. The new series will feature Squirrel Girl as an ultra supportive fan girl. For those of you not familiar with the character, she has all the powers of a squirrel and is really awesome. Don’t believe me? Go read some comics.
