Marvel has unveiled the trailer and release date for “Echo” — which debuted its inaugural trailer on Friday and contains several firsts for the company. 

The show is the first Marvel Studios production that will debut simultaneously on Disney+ and Hulu, the first that will have every episode available to binge at once, the first to receive the rate TV-MAm, and the first superhero series ever to center on a deaf and a Native American character: Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox).

The series follows the origin story of Maya Lopez aka Echo whose ruthless behavior in New York City catches up with her in her hometown. She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots, and embrace the meaning of family and community if she ever hopes to move forward.

Cox made her debut in the MCU as Echo in Marvel's "Hawkeye" in December 2021 serving as one of Kingpin's (Vincent D'Onofrio) top lieutenants in the Tracksuit Mafia. 

It also stars Indigenous actors Zahn McClarnon (“Dark Winds”), Graham Greene (“Dances With Wolves,” “Wind River”) Tantoo Cardinal (“Killers of the Flower Moon”), K. Devery Jacobs (“Reservation Dogs”), Chaske Spencer (“Wild Indian”) and Cody Lightning (“Hey, Viktor!”). Catriona McKenzie (“The Walking Dead”), who is Aboriginal Australian, serves as a director on the series.

Sydney Freeland directed at least a few of the series' anticipated six episodes.

Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, Stephen Broussard, Richie Palmer, Marion Dayre, and Jason Gavin are executive producers. 

Amy Rardin, Sydney Freeland, Christina King, and Jennifer Booth are co-executive producers.

 "Echo" premieres simultaneously on Disney+ and Hulu on January 10.
