Marvel has announced a new TV series that will offer a behind-the-scenes look at some of the studio’s most popular features.

Assembled will give fans a new perspective on shows including WandaVision, as well as not yet released projects such as The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Loki, Hawkeye and Black Widow.

Each episode will arrive shortly after its corresponding project’s release.

Assembled will kick off on 12 March with “The Making of WandaVision”. 

Marvel’s first TV series, which stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as superheroes Scarlet Witch and Vision, has been a hit among both fans and critics.

Olsen, Bettany and co-stars Teyonah Parris, Kathryn Hahn, Kat Dennings and Randall Park will feature in the WandaVision episode of Assembled. They will talk about the making of the series alongside the show’s creative team.

The special will also explore how WandaVision’s unique sitcom concept was decided upon, and how the crew managed to mimic the techniques of filmmakers in past eras for authenticity.

The Disney Plus series pays homage to different classic sitcoms, ranging from the Fifties black-and-white comedyI Love Lucy to Sixties classics including Bewitched and The Dick Van Dyke Show

Last year, Disney Plus offered fans a similar behind-the-scenes look at another of its biggest hits with Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian – an eight-episode documentary series that pulled back the curtain on the Emmy winning show.

Assembled: The Making of WandaVision will be available to watch from 12 March on Disney Plus.
