Upcoming Marvel film Inhumans will now be a TV series, but will still partially play in cinemas.

US network ABC has partnered with Marvel and IMAX to produce the live-action show, which will launch next year, with the first two episodes to premiere in IMAX cinemas.

Inhumans was announced in October 2014 as the 20th Marvel Studios film, set for a November 2018 release.

The comics were introduced in 1965 and focus on a royal family of super beings who are ruled over by their mostly silent king Black Bolt, whose voice is a weapon of mass destruction.

Young members of the Inhumans family get their powers by being doused in a chemical known as the Terrigen Mists when they reach maturity - which turns some into monsters and some into superheroes.

The Inhumans TV show's first season will reportedly run for eight episodes, and the series won't be considered a direct spinoff of the events of Agents of SHIELD, even though Inhumans characters have been introduced in that show.
