Overview
- Industry reports confirm Jac Schaeffer signed a three-year overall television deal with Amazon, MGM Studios, and Prime Video to develop, write, executive produce, and direct original series outside Marvel.
- Schaeffer was a key architect of Marvel’s Disney+ era through WandaVision and Agatha All Along, establishing the template for the studio’s streaming storytelling.
- She previously stepped back from the upcoming VisionQuest due to overlapping schedules, with Terry Matalas taking over as showrunner for the 2026 series.
- Her earlier three-year overall agreement with Marvel Studios and 20th Television concluded in 2024, and a Disney+ Holes pilot she directed was later shelved.
- Coverage pairs Schaeffer’s move with James Gunn’s earlier shift to lead DC Studios, noting that the exits introduce uncertainty even as Marvel positions Avengers: Doomsday as a course correction.
