Marvel Zombies Debuts on Disney+ With Cliffhanger, Tepid Reviews, Uncertain Renewal

Renewal prospects hinge on viewership, with creators saying further episodes would follow only if demand is strong.

Overview

  • Disney+ released all four TV‑MA episodes on September 24 as a binge drop from Marvel Studios Animation.
  • Early reception shows mid‑60s critic scores on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, while Disney+ charts list the series in the Top 10, including No. 1 in the UK Today.
  • Director Bryan Andrews and Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum note a mapped‑out follow‑up exists but say a second season will only proceed based on audience demand.
  • Season 1 omits the Fantastic Four and X‑Men, and the team indicates those groups could be integrated if a renewal is approved.
  • Executives say limits on Spider‑Man’s usage shaped the four‑chapter half‑hour format, and reviewers highlight timeline continuity questions alongside a large returning MCU voice cast.
