According to the synopsis for "Echo," the series will take place right after the events of "Hawkeye." Maya will leave New York City and go to her hometown to try to put her past behind her, but she'll realize that's easier said than done. "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," the official logline reads.
Executive producer and director Sydney Freeland explained to Marvel.com in an interview published on Nov. 3 that the main focus of the show is on Maya's family. "We're going to delve further into the drama of this family and how they've all dealt with [situations] over the past 20 years," she explained. "We have this sort of two-pronged approach, there's this family drama sort of driving everything. But then there's this undercurrent of this fantastical side, which is that we are going to be visiting Maya's matrilineal ancestors, going quite a bit backward in time. Those two things, this family drama and these ancestral stories that we're going to see, are going to come head-to-head."
