The wait for season 2 of X-Men ’97 will be a long one!
X-Men ’97 was one of the standouts for Marvel Studios / Marvel Animation last year and left fans wanting more after its explosive season one finale, which ended on a cliffhanger.
Speaking with Collider, Marvel’s head of streaming, television, and animation Brad Winderbaum revealed when we could expect to return to X-Men ’97.
“Season 2 of X-Men ’97 is going to be in ’26. We’re working on it now. It’s exciting. That world of the ’90s is just… I can’t believe they let me make it. I grew up at Marvel, as you know, clocked a lot of time here, and I feel like I used a lot of currency to revive this thing that I loved watching after school. So, the fact that we get to play in that universe with those actors is honestly why I went into this business in the first place.”
Marvel Studios didn’t waste time greenlighting the animated series for a second and third season. When the show returns for season three, it won’t be with writer Beau DeMayo who got canned ahead of season one’s premiere.
“Right now, we are still working on X-Men ’97 season 2. It’s coming together amazingly, and the scripts for season 3 are insane,” Winderbaum told Screen Rant.
“That is certainly scratching the X-Men itch for me on television. And there is an X-Men feature in development right now, so that is the focus of X-Men currently.”
Social Media Is Not Happy About The Wait For X-Men ’97
News of the show not returning until 2026 isn’t sitting well with some fans, and understandably so.
One user on X, formerly Twitter, wrote, “This is so tiring with most if not all shows having 2 years in between seasons. Stop with this.”
“And yet another blow. Way to kill all momentum. X-Men ’97 was, wire to wire, the best piece of entertainment Marvel produced the last years,” wrote Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld who has been taking shots at Marvel Studios as of late because he claimed he wasn’t allowed to go to the Deadpool & Wolverine afterparty.
Others are willing to be patient.
We will be locked in whenever season 2 premieres, until that day arrives, you can see more reactions in the gallery below.

The “Girl On Fire” singer is being celebrated with her very own “She Is the Music” Barbie doll. Alongside the announcement, the doll brand is also dropping a duo set inspired by women within the music industry, specifically a female music star and a tour manager Barbie.
Trending on Billboard
According to Mattel, “The 2025 Barbie Women in Music: Career of the Year set features two distinct industry roles – Musical Artist and Tour Manager – designed to inspire the next generation to explore careers in music, both on stage and behind the scenes.” While most girls are more than aware of their favorite music artists, Barbie wants to highlight the role of tour manager, a career in the music industry where women are often underrepresented.
For the musical artist doll, Barbie recognizes that “only 22% of artists across music charts are female, the Barbie Musical Artist doll celebrates the women leaving their hearts on the stage by performing and singing their own music across genres.” In the same vein, the tour manager doll honors the 31% of tour managers worldwide who are women and encourages girls to explore the limitless careers in music, on and off the stage.
Bringing the dolls to life are Keys and her recording and mix engineer, Ann Mincieli. For those unfamiliar, Mincieli is a four-time Grammy award-winning engineer and producer, most known for engineering Alicia’s second studio album, The Diary of Alicia Keys, as well as, Keys’ Girl On Fire. Their one-of-a-kind dolls feature a matching “She is the Music” t-shirt, with Alicia repping a sharp, dark denim suit in black heels and Ann sporting a blue jacket with ripped jeans and high-top sneakers.
