Marvel’s The Inhumans will premiere a version of the first two episodes first in IMAX commercial theatres, marking the first time a live-action television series has debuted in this manner. The series, produced in conjunction with ABC Studios and filmed entirely with IMAX digital cameras, will run worldwide exclusively in IMAX for two weeks at the beginning of September 2017.
ABC plans to then premiere the weekly series in fall, with some exclusive content that can only be seen on the network.
This is not a S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off (not directly, anyway), nor is it the planned Inhumans movie that Marvel pulled from its schedule, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This will be a separate group of Inhumans in their own storyline.
