The truth behind Marvel’s Runaways season 4 cancellation
Both Marvel and Hulu officially announced the cancellation of Runaways season 4. Rumours have it that the show was cancelled because of a change in the leadership of Marvel Entertainment. Marvel TV is now in control of Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige. There is no confirmation regarding the role of Kevin in slapping Marvel’s Runaways with cancellation.
The real reason attributed to cancellation is low viewership that averted Hulu to continue with Runaways season 4. The third season was watched by less than 1 million viewers. So diehard fans, pull your socks up and tune into Hulu!

About Marvel’s Runaways
6 teenagers – Karolina Dean (Virginia Gardner), Nico Minoru (Lyrica Okano), Chase Stein (Gregg Sulkin), Alex Wilder (Rhenzy Feliz), Gert Yorkes (Ariela Barer), and Molly Hernandez (Allegra Acosta) – Unite under a common mission to stop their corrupt parents (collectively known as The Pride. The kids run away from their parents after stealing tech, weapons, and a dinosaur.
The series was loved for portraying ground realities of this age and saved itself from becoming another cookie-cutter teenage story. The Runaways don’t miss a beat and are “pretty spot-on” according to Joseph Schmidt of ComicBook.com.
