X‑Men ’97 Season 2 Launches July 1 With Three‑Episode Premiere

Executives say earlier production disruptions have been fixed, signaling faster release schedules for future seasons.

Overview

  • The nine‑episode second season will debut on Disney+ with episodes 1–3 available Wednesday, July 1, 2026, followed by weekly releases through the finale on August 12, 2026.
  • The season spreads the X‑Men across multiple eras — ancient Egypt, a dystopian year 3960 future, and the 1990s — as a younger En Sabah Nur begins to rise as the central threat.
  • Nearly the entire principal voice cast returns while the season adds major new characters and actors, including Polaris, Emma Frost, Danger, and Adetokumboh M’Cormack as En Sabah Nur.
  • Marvel released promotional clips showing the team fighting Apocalypse’s Final Horsemen and a Morph disguise gag, and early critic screenings have drawn positive notices for the expanded scope and tone.
  • Producers say the long gap after Season 1 was due to production and script changes that have been resolved, and they are advancing Seasons 3 and 4 with the aim of shorter waits between installments.
