(SeaPRwire) – There is a generally accepted rule among enthusiasts of animated series: high quality requires time—often several years—and is frequently sacrificed for other priorities. Prime Video is able to release new seasons of Invincible annually because, while the visuals may not be the most dynamic, the narrative continues at a steady pace. This approach works well for that series, and Marvel’s most promising show is about to embrace a comparable model.
It has been two years since Marvel Television brought back X-Men: The Animated Series with a modern aesthetic, and audiences have been demanding more X-Men ’97 ever since. Although the series was quickly picked up for a second and third season following its successful launch, establishing a regular release rhythm has taken time. Season 2 is finally scheduled to arrive this June, but the studio is not satisfied with a biennial release cycle. Executive producer Larry Houston states that the series will soon follow the release patterns of other animated programs.
“They want to make it clear that there will only be a one-year gap between seasons now, rather than two-and-a-quarter years,” Houston explained to Entertainment Weekly. “It will be a year until the next installment and another year until the one after that. They are currently on schedule.”
The return of X-Men ’97 is reason enough to celebrate, but viewers can also anticipate another season in 2027, and, per Houston, a fourth season arriving the subsequent year.
“We have reviewed, provided notes on, and addressed all the scripts and animatics for Season 3, and we are now giving script notes for Season 4,” Houston disclosed. “That illustrates how far along they are in development.”
While X-Men ’97 Season 4 has not yet received formal approval, the team’s active work on its storyline is a positive indicator. Unlike standard Disney+ Originals, which seldom extend past two seasons, X-Men ’97 is committed to a long run. With a live-action X-Men film also in production, it is an excellent era for mutant fans; their prospects in the MCU have never looked better, and their trajectory remains strong.
X-Men ’97 Season 2 premieres July 1 on Disney+.
