Hulu will team with Marvel Television to bring popular comic book series Runaways to television, Marvel announced Wednesday.

The project, executive produced by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage (The O.C., Gossip Girl), will focus on six diverse teenagers who can barely stand each other but who must unite against a common foe – their evil parents, according to Marvel.

"We've known the Runaways story would make great television," said Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer and Head of Marvel Television in a statement. “Being lucky enough to have Josh and Stephanie--who have time and again created shows that speak so genuinely to this exact audience--write and produce the series is nothing short of remarkable."
