Scott Buck, who is currently overseeing Netflix's Marvel show 'Iron Fist,' will do the same with the forthcoming ABC drama.
Buck will serve as showrunner on the drama series, with the first two episodes set to exclusively unspool in Imax theaters over a two-week period starting Labor Day Weekend 2017 before the drama debuts on ABC in September in a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind collaboration that helps cut through the crowded fall landscape.
The
Inhumans deal extends Marvel's relationship with Buck, who is currently serving as showrunner on the comic book powerhouse's Netflix drama
Iron Fist.
Iron Fist is Marvel and Netflix's fourth series, with the fifth — mini
The Defenders — set to feature stars from the former as well as
Daredevil,
Jessica Jones and
Luke Cage.
Iron Fist marks Buck's first post-
Dexter gig. Buck served as showrunner for the final three seasons of Showtime's Michael C. Hall serial-killer-with-a-code drama after taking over for Clyde Phillips. Buck's credits also include
Six Feet Under, Rome and
Coach. He's repped by CAA.
Picked up straight to series Nov. 14,
The Inhumans is ABC's latest Marvel collaboration. The live-action TV series is not taking the place of the planned feature film and is not a spinoff of ABC's Marvel drama
Agents of SHIELD. This becomes ABC's third Marvel series, following
SHIELD and the late and great
Agent Carter.
Inhumans is produced by Marvel, ABC Studios and Imax, with all episodes set to be filmed with Imax cameras.
