Across the metropolis, weary residents mutter about a tale of two cities, wondering who will bring back the jobs.

Just then ...

It’s a tax break. It’s a Hollywood studio. It’s Daredevil.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Wednesday announced that Walt Disney and Marvel Studios would spend some $200 million filming four live-action television series in New York City.

At least 60 episodes of the new shows — each based on a different comic book character — will be shot on the city’s streets, according to Robert A. Iger, chief executive of the Walt Disney Company.

The shows represent “the largest film or television production project commitment in New York State history,” according to a statement from the governor’s office.
