ABC continues to develop their
relationship with Marvel with a fifth series based on the publisher's material.
This time the network has bought a script and committed to a put pilot for a
half-hour single camera sitcom titled Damage Control, which follows the "adventures"
of the crew that cleans-up after a superhero or supervillain battle.
According to the series
description, Damage Control "specializes in dealing with the aftermath of the
unique fallout from super hero conflicts. They are the ones who are in charge
of returning lost ray guns to their rightful owners, help to reschedule a
wedding venue after it has been vaporized in a super hero battle or even track
down a missing prize African parrot that’s been turned to stone or goo.
Sometimes the most important super heroes are the ones behind the scenes."
The series was developed by Ben Karlin (The Daily Show, Modern Family),
who will executive produce the series alongside David Milner and Marvel's Head
of TV Jeph Loeb.
ABC is currently airing the third season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,
and has the second season of Agent Carter on the way. The network recently
announced plans for a Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spinoff focusing on Mockingbird (Adrianne
Palicki) and Lance Hunter (Nick Blood) titled Marvel's Most Wanted, and they
also revealed that 12 Years a Slave scribe, John Ridley, is developing a secret
Marvel project for them.
