Marvel’s Runaways Season 4: Everything we know so far

Don't miss

Marvel’s Runaways is a television series based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name. It follows six teenagers who discover that their parents are part of a secret organization called the Pride, which is involved in various criminal and supernatural activities. The show premiered on Hulu in 2017 and ran for three seasons, ending in 2019. Here is everything we know about the possibility of a fourth season of Marvel’s Runaways.

Marvel’s Runaways Season 4 Potential Plot: What’s next?

Marvel’s Runaways Season 4

The third and final season of Marvel’s Runaways concluded with a time travel twist that saved one of the main characters, Gert Yorkes, from dying. However, it also introduced a new threat: a future version of Alex Wilder, who left a note saying that he plans to infiltrate his father’s company, hide Victor Mancha (a cyborg created by Ultron), and kill Nico Minoru (his former girlfriend and a powerful witch). This cliffhanger suggests that there could be more stories to tell about the Runaways and their enemies, especially since the show never fully explored the origins and motives of the Gibborim (the ancient aliens that possessed some of the Pride members) or the Dark Dimension (the mystical realm where Morgan le Fay came from).

Marvel’s Runaways Season 4 Cast: Who’s in it?

If Marvel’s Runaways were to return for a fourth season, we would expect most of the main cast to reprise their roles, including:

  • Rhenzy Feliz as Alex Wilder, a genius hacker and strategist
  • Lyrica Okano as Nico Minoru, a witch who wields the Staff of One
  • Virginia Gardner as Karolina Dean, an alien-human hybrid who can manipulate light and energy
  • Ariela Barer as Gert Yorkes, a social activist who shares a telepathic bond with a dinosaur named Old Lace
  • Gregg Sulkin as Chase Stein, an engineer and inventor who uses high-tech gauntlets called Fistigons
  • Allegra Acosta as Molly Hernandez, a super-strong mutant who can emit light from her eyes
  • Angel Parker as Catherine Wilder, Alex’s mother and a ruthless lawyer
  • Ryan Sands as Geoffrey Wilder, Alex’s father and a former gang leader
  • Annie Wersching as Leslie Dean, Karolina’s mother and a former leader of the Church of Gibborim
  • Kip Pardue as Frank Dean, Karolina’s father and an actor
  • Ever Carradine as Janet Stein, Chase’s mother and a brilliant scientist
  • James Marsters as Victor Stein, Chase’s father and a genius inventor
  • Brigid Brannagh as Stacey Yorkes, Gert’s mother and a bioengineer
  • Kevin Weisman as Dale Yorkes, Gert’s father and a bioengineer
  • Brittany Ishibashi as Tina Minoru, Nico’s mother and a sorceress
  • James Yaegashi as Robert Minoru, Nico’s father and a sorcerer

Some of the recurring or guest stars that could also return are:

  • Elizabeth Hurley as Morgan le Fay, an ancient sorceress and Nico’s nemesis
  • Clarissa Thibeaux as Xavin, an alien shapeshifter who is Karolina’s betrothed
  • Julian McMahon as Jonah, an alien leader who is Karolina’s biological father
  • Cody Mayo as Vaughn Kaye, Leslie’s assistant and Karolina’s friend
  • Ajiona Alexus as Livvie, Alex’s ex-girlfriend and Tamar’s sister
  • Ozioma Akagha as Tamar Davis, Darius’ widow and Geoffrey’s former lover

Will there be Marvel’s Runaways Season 4?

Unfortunately for the fans of the show, Marvel and Hulu officially announced in November 2019 that the third season of Marvel’s Runaways would be the last one. The creators of the show stated that they wanted to give the series a natural conclusion and wrap up the storylines of the characters. However, some sources also suggested that the low viewership numbers of the show and the changes in Marvel TV (which was absorbed by Marvel Studios) contributed to the decision to cancel it. Therefore, it is very unlikely that there will be a fourth season of Marvel’s Runaways on Hulu or any other platform.

Marvel’s Runaways Season 4 Release Date: Speculation!

Even though Marvel’s Runaways has been canceled by Hulu, some fans still hope that the show could be revived by another network or streaming service. After all, Marvel has done it before with Agent Carter (which moved from ABC to Disney+) and Daredevil (which is rumored to return on Disney+ or Hulu after being canceled by Netflix). However, there are some obstacles that make this scenario improbable. First of all, the contracts of the cast and crew have expired, and some of them have moved on to other projects. Secondly, the show’s budget was reportedly high, and it is not clear if another platform would be willing to invest in it. Thirdly, the show’s continuity with the Marvel Cinematic Universe is vague, and it is not clear if Marvel Studios has any plans to include it in its future projects. Therefore, even if there was a chance for a fourth season of Marvel’s Runaways, it would probably take a long time to happen.
