Overview
- Disney+/Marvel Studios published the full eight-episode schedule and runtimes that will start with a two-episode premiere on October 14 and deliver two-episode drops on October 21 and 28 before switching to single weekly episodes on November 4 and November 11.
- Marvel surprised New York Comic Con attendees with a screening of episode one on October 8, and social and press reactions from that event have been broadly positive, singling out Paul Bettany and James Spader for praise.
- Critics have been given full-season access under a review embargo that lifts on October 12, so more detailed reviews and potential spoilers are expected to appear online in the days before the public premiere.
- Episode runtimes are substantial, with the first six episodes running about 45–54 minutes and the final two episodes running 62 and 68 minutes, a length the coverage calls the longest single MCU TV episodes to date.
- The series is billed as the conclusion to the WandaVision trilogy, centers on Vision’s identity and a father–son storyline, reunites multiple MCU AIs and brings back Ultron, and its schedule finishing before the December Avengers release could affect how characters or plot threads cross into that film.
