Hawkeye is a television series set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, focused on the characters of Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, played by Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld. It is based upon the Marvel Comics and is heavily influenced by the Matt Fraction era of the comics.
Canon
The series is a continuation of Clint's story after the events of the MCU films. It introduces us to the character of Kate Bishop for whom Clint becomes a mentor. The series also introduces other comics characters to the MCU, like Clint's dog, Lucky, and Maya Lopez. It also brings in the characters of Yelena Belova from Black Widow, and Kingpin which had been seen in a few of the Marvel Netfilx series.
The series incorporates many elements from the Matt Fraction comics, like Clint being deaf/hard of hearing and requiring hearing aids, the Tracksuit Mafia, the dog Lucky, among other things. However, many changes had to be made from the comics so that Clint would line up with his characterization from the films.
