Production

On April 5, 2017, Freeform greenlit New Warriors with a straight-to-series order. On July 10, 2017, the first cast members were revealed. Filming for the pilot episode had begun by June 2017, in Atlanta.

On November 1, 2017, it was announced that Freeform was unable to find a time slot for New Warriors in their 2018 lineup, resulting in Marvel pulling the series from the network. The series was being shopped elsewhere.

On June 7, 2018, Jeph Loeb said Marvel Television was still looking for a network to air New Warriors.

On September 16, 2019, it was announced that the series did not find a new home after being passed on by multiple networks, including Hulu and Disney+, and was officially cancelled. Showrunner Kevin Biegel later stated that the show would have had a lot of LGBTQ+ representation, and that a Marvel executive (who was unnamed, but labeled as "homophobic" by Biegel) took aim at the show for being "very, very proudly gay".
