Hulu has renewed Marvel’s Runaways, starring the 21-year-old Dominican American actor, for a third season.

The new season of the series, from showrunners/writers Josh Schwartzand Stephanie Savage, Marvel Televisionand ABC Signature, will consist of 10 episodes, down from the 13-episode order for the first and second seasons.

“We are so excited to tell more Runaways stories and are so grateful to Marvel, Hulu, our amazing cast and crew and of course our passionate audience,” said  Schwartz and  Savage. “Season three will be a magical time on Runaways, as we deepen our connection to the Marveluniverse. We are honored to continue to play in the sandbox created by Brian K Vaughnand Adrian Alphona.”

In addition to Feliz, who portrays Alex Wilder, the series also stars Ariela Barer, Allegra Acosta, Lyrica Okano, Virginia Gardnerand Gregg Sulkin.
