Echo Series Release Date Status: Everything To Know About Marvel’s Echo Series On Disney+
Echo is the latest Marvel Studios show to be made for Disney Plus. It is a spin-off of Hawkeye, which was the first show to feature the comic book hero.
Even though Clint and Kate’s six episodes of Hawkeye came to a happy ending, one character’s Christmas appeared to be quite bleak. After recent tragic encounters with Kazi and (presumably) Kingpin, Maya Lopez finds herself completely on her own. Despite the fact that her new family is nasty and ultimately responsible for her father’s death, it still has to be difficult for her.
Thank goodness, this isn’t the last time we’ll see the formidable warrior. It is expected that now that Maya is no longer on Wilson Fisk’s payroll, she will be able to do some soul-searching in the next Echo series on Disney+.
In spite of the lack of information, it is clear that Disney+ has huge intentions for the Echo series. The program was first revealed on Disney+ Day on November 12 — before Hawkeye even launched — so the go-ahead was based on more than just positive fan feedback (though it certainly helped). Given the character’s history of ties to other Marvel staples (Kingpin was just the beginning), the series may also have interesting ramifications for the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Everything you need to know about the characters, narrative, and setting of the Echo television series is listed here.
Season 1 of Disney+’s Echo is Scheduled for Summer 2023
Echo will go live on Disney Plus in the summer of 2023.
At San Diego Comic-Con 2022, the release date of Echo was confirmed, making it clear that the series is part of Marvel’s Phase Five.
The show wasn’t confirmed by Disney Plus and Marvel until November 2021, even though it had been talked about since early 2021.

“Are you kidding?” he asked RadioTimes.com in December 2021. I’d love to join. My phone is on, but no one’s called yet. Let’s see. What if?
Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner), Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), and Yelena Belova could make cameos.
What Will be Marvel’s Echo plot?
Marvel released the premise of Echo, which reads:
Streaming exclusively on Disney, the origin story of Echo revisits Maya Lopez, whose ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with her in her hometown. She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots and embrace the meaning of family and community if she ever hopes to move forward.
So, it looks like Echo will get to know Maya in a totally different way than Hawkeye. Maya’s trip from New York to where she came from is likely to be a pretty emotional one. First, her father was in charge of the Tracksuit Mafia. Then, Maya took over and went on a revenge mission.
She has only really known organized crime, violence, and loss her whole life. She will have to make peace with her past if she wants to give up crime and become a real hero. She seems to have family and a group of people in Echo who will help her find her way.
