As a result of the comic book movie boom created indirectly by the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the number of comic book adaptations being added to the television roster only continue to grow with each new pilot season.
NBC quietly removing the series from its weekly lineup and its website only further reinforces those assumptions, all of which point to Powerless not coming back for the 2017-18 TV season.
But one of the few genres that none of these series have really committed or ventured into up until this point is comedy.
In fact, that’s exactly what made NBC’s Powerless such an interesting new addition when it first premiered earlier this year.
