Wonder Man Reportedly Near Season 2 Greenlight as Disney+ Breakout Draws Strong Buzz

Strong reviews and a buzzy Josh Gad cameo position the completed first season for more, according to the showrunner.

Overview

  • Marvel is "very close" to approving a second season, according to a scooper report cited by ComicBookMovie.com, though no official renewal has been announced.
  • All eight episodes are now streaming on Disney+, and the series holds 89% critics' and 89% audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes, per recent coverage.
  • Episode 4 features a Josh Gad cameo tied to an unresolved storyline, and showrunner Andrew Guest has said he'd revisit that thread if the series returns.
  • Gad said he agreed to play himself on the condition, cleared with Kevin Feige, that it would not preclude him from taking a different MCU role in the future.
  • New character posters spotlight Doorman and Josh Gad as fan conversation continues about Disney's marketing and the choice to release the season all at once; Disney+ does not share official viewership figures.
