Marvel Confirms X-Men '97 Season 2 Delayed to 2026

The animated series faces a two-year gap between seasons, following behind-the-scenes changes and creative adjustments.

Marvel Studios' Brad Winderbaum confirmed that X-Men '97 Season 2 will not release until 2026, extending the wait for fans by nearly two years.
The delay follows the departure of original showrunner Beau DeMayo in March 2024, reportedly due to allegations of misconduct, which he has denied.
DeMayo claimed that Season 2 was completed in early 2024 but was reworked by Marvel executives for being 'too complicated and ambitious.'
Production challenges and leadership changes have contributed to the extended timeline, though Marvel has teased ambitious new storylines and teams for the upcoming season.
Despite the delay, Marvel has confirmed plans for a third season of X-Men '97, with scripts already in development.
