X‑Men ’97 Season 2 Debuts on Disney+ With Three‑Episode Drop

The release marks Disney’s effort to build on the show’s acclaim by using a staggered schedule to keep viewers engaged.

Overview

  • Disney+ made the first three episodes of the nine-episode season available on Wednesday, July 1, and will release the remaining six episodes weekly on Wednesdays through August 12, 2026.
  • Season 2 continues directly from the first season’s cliffhanger by scattering the X‑Men across different times as 1990s‑era hostility toward mutants rises and new villains appear.
  • Marvel Animation published episode titles that reference major comic storylines, including “Days of Future Past” and a multi‑part “Rise of Apocalypse” arc, signaling comic-based adaptations.
  • The principal voice cast and the core production team from Season 1 return, keeping creative continuity that follows the series’ previous critical success and Emmy nomination.
  • The Disney+ exclusive release positions X‑Men ’97 as a key Marvel Animation property and the staggered launch pattern is intended to extend audience attention across seven weeks.
