X‑Men ’97 Season 2 to Debut July 1 as Apocalypse Arc Scatters Team Through Time

Producers say they fixed the production issues that caused the long gap and are moving seasons three and four forward to avoid repeat delays.

Overview

  • The season opens with a three-episode global premiere on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, then shifts to one new episode a week for a nine-episode run that concludes on August 12.
  • Storylines split the X‑Men across eras — ancient Egypt, 1997, and a dystopian 3960 AD — as En Sabah Nur (Apocalypse) rises and the team races to reunite.
  • Promotional clips show the X‑Men fighting Apocalypse’s Final Horsemen and include a moment where Morph impersonates Thor, and an exclusive scene has Bishop and Forge locating five team members in 3000 BC Egypt and five in 3960 AD.
  • Most principal voice actors return and the season expands the roster with new castings such as Carolina Ravassa as Polaris, allowing parallel plots in multiple timelines.
  • Behind the scenes, creator Beau DeMayo left before Season 1 debuted and Matthew Chauncey has overseen script revisions, and producers say those disruptions have been addressed so future seasons will arrive on a faster schedule.
