A significant update has emerged regarding Marvel’s ‘Nova’ for Disney+. Ed Bernero, the former showrunner of Criminal Minds, has joined the project as a writer and showrunner, focusing on the character Richard Rider, also known as Nova.

Bernero takes over from Sabir Pirzada, the original writer assigned to the project when it was initiated two and a half years ago. Initially, it was uncertain whether ‘Nova’ would be developed as a feature film or a limited series; it has now been confirmed as a series.

Nova made his debut in a 1976 issue of Super Adventures and is part of the intergalactic police force, the Nova Corps, which grants him superhuman abilities like enhanced strength, flight, and injury resistance. Although Nova has not frequently interacted with key figures in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), he has faced off against the Skrulls, who play significant roles in recent and upcoming Marvel projects, including Captain Marvel and the limited series Secret Invasion.

Bernero has an extensive background, having served as executive producer and showrunner for CBS’s Criminal Minds and co-creating the Criminal Minds spinoff Suspect Behavior, which aired for one season. Additionally, he co-created and executive produced NBC’s Third Watch and created and produced the crime drama series Crossing Lines. Bernero is represented by Brillstein Entertainment Partners, Buchwald, and Hansen Jacobson Teller.
