Overview
- Disney+ will stream the nine-episode second season of X‑Men ’97 on July 1, 2026, after trailers and promotional art rolled out in mid‑June.
- Only the first four episodes were screened to critics and those early reviews have produced a preliminary 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and strong praise for visuals and action.
- Season 2 continues the Season 1 cliffhanger by scattering the X‑Men across three eras — ancient Egypt, a distant future, and 1997 — as they confront En Sabah Nur, the younger incarnation of Apocalypse.
- New trailers and posters spotlight a much larger mutant roster, teases such as a Feral Wolverine, and confirm returning voice cast members including Ross Marquand, Ray Chase, Jennifer Hale, Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, and others.
- Executive producer Larry Houston says the creative team is already working on season 3 and giving notes on season 4 as Marvel aims to shorten gaps between seasons and sustain the franchise on Disney+.
