As Marvel Cinematic Universe stories continue to permeate cinemas, the franchise is also still spreading its wings within the realm of TV. The last few years have seen fans treated to great shows set within the MCU proper, like Daredevil: Born Again and VisionQuest, as well as some set outside it, such as X-Men ‘97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. And, luckily for fans, there’s more TV content to come in addition to those upcoming Marvel movies!
Marvel Studios cranked out a plethora of offerings during its first several years in the TV game, but the company has since pulled back a bit. Although the brand is now being a bit more judicious about what it produces, Disney+ subscription holders still have a mixture of new and returning shows to look forward to in the near future. So let’s run through those forthcoming titles, shall we?
Upcoming Shows
VisionQuest (October 14, 2026)
The last time audiences saw Vision was during the events of 2021’s WandaVision, which introduced a white incarnation of the fan-favorite android. In the series finale, that robot fled, with his fate being left unknown. However, it's now known that the character’s story will continue in a new MCU show called VisionQuest, with Paul Bettany reprising his role as the titular character.
VisionQuest took a major step forward in 2024 when Terry Matalas, of Star Trek: Picard fame, was brought on as showrunner and director. The show was officially announced at NYCC 2025 (years after it was initially reported to be in the works). Bettany teased during the convention that the show would see White Vision trying to piece together the memories transferred to him by the OG Vision. The series will effectively conclude the TV "trilogy" that was started by WandaVision and continued in Agatha All Along.
Bettany is also joined by an excellent cast, which includes James Spader returning as Ultron, fellow MCU OG James D’Arcy playing J.A.R.V.I.S. Also, Henry Lewis plays D.U.M.-E, Jonathan Sayer portrays U, Orla Brady plays F.R.I.D.A.Y. and Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H. What’s also particularly exciting is that Ruaridh Mollica has been confirmed in the role of Thomas Shepherd, the reincarnated version of Vision and Wanda Maximoff’s son, Tommy.
As confirmed during the 2026 Disney Upfront presentation, VisionQuest is set to grace Disney+ with its technological presence on October 14, 2026.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2 (January 2027)
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was praised ahead of its debut in January 2025, and Marvel TV clearly felt good about this new take on Peter Parker's high school years from the jump. That's because the show was already renewed for a second season way back in 2022 while Season 1 was still in development.
As fans would expect, plot details on the new episodes are scarce at the moment. It seems likely, though, that series creator Jeff Trammell and co. will pick up the plot threads left dangling after the first season's finale. That includes the surprise appearance of Richard Parker, Peter's jailed father, during that defining installment. Something Trammell also confirmed was that Season 2 would introduce Gwen Stacy to shake up Peter's world just a bit, and footage shown at NYCC teased Peter once again doing battle with the symbiote.
Jeff Trammell also provided an ominous promise about Season 2 in 2025. According to the EP, this next batch of episodes will be “more and more grand, more tragic” and "more funny.”
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2 swings onto Disney+. sometime in January 2027.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 (March 2027)
Even before Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 premiered to positive reviews, the show had already been renewed for a third season. That renewal was confirmed in September 2025 and, by October, series showrunner Dario Scardapane provided an update in the form of a photo taken from the writers’ room.
Not too many plot details have been divulged about the upcoming season as of right now, though Scardapane has been dropping some hints following the Season 2 finale. That massive episode sees Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock revealing his identity as Daredevil to the general public and later being arrested for his vigilantism. Also, Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk (a.k.a. the Kingpin) is finally ousted from his post as the mayor of New York City, and he relocates. Though the imposing villain will return for the new season.
Filming for Season 3 began around March 2026 and, amid production, Scardapane has been teasing that the season will take inspiration from several comic book storylines. Given Matt’s current position, one of those arcs will be “The Devil in Cell-Block D.” The EP has also confirmed that psychiatrist Heather Glenn will become the next Muse. Also, the second-season finale marks the return of Luke Cage (played by Mike Colter), and set photos have teased that he’ll return alongside Jessica Jones and Danny Rand in Season 3.
Daredevil: Born Again is expected to be released on Disney+ in March 2027.
X-Men '97 Season 3 (2027)
X-Men '97 has been critically acclaimed, with many considering it to be the best adaptation of the superheroic mutants to ever reach a screen. So it wasn’t all that surprising when it was confirmed that a second season had been greenlit. Production on those episodes began in 2022 ahead of the first season’s premiere in 2024. And, in 2026, it was confirmed that third and fourth seasons were in development.
Fans thankfully won't have to wait as long for the third season as they did for the second. During a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum confirmed that production on Season 3 was finished. Ahead of that, EP Larry Houston also said the creative team learned from its past workflow practices in order to ensure that seasons would be released yearly moving forward.
X-Men ‘97 Season 3 is set to premiere sometime in 2027.
Marvel Zombies Season 2 (TBA)
It’s not often that MCU fans receive horror-tinged or gory fare from the franchise, and that’s exactly what they received when Marvel Zombies debuted in September 2025. While it was initially reported that the four-episode show would be a miniseries, it was confirmed around April 2026 that a second season was in production.
A spinoff of Marvel’s What If…?, Zombies takes place in an alternate continuity in which the world has been ravaged by a virus that’s transformed people into undead creatures. Kamala Khan (who’s once again played by Iman Vellani) leads a ragtag group of characters who believe they have the key to saving humanity. The first season sees a number of fan-favorite MCU characters die and, ultimately, it ends with Kamala awaking in what appears to be a renewed world.
The last few moments of the finale, however, suggest that Kamala is only experiencing a false reality set forth by Wanda Maximoff, the leader of the zombies. Although Season 2’s story has not been revealed, it feels like a given that it’ll pick up from the finale.
A release window has yet to be announced for Marvel Zombies Season 2 though, when it comes out, it’ll be released on Disney+.
Canceled Shows/Seasons
Wonder Man Season 2
Wonder Man proved to be a pleasant surprise, as critics praised the MCU series as a fresh addition to the canon. Marvel seemingly took notice of the positive buzz that ensued after the Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest-created show premiered in January 2026. With that, the show was eventually renewed for a second season in March 2026.
However, Marvel Television ultimately reversed the renewal in July 2026, with a report later suggesting that Wonder Man was canceled due to viewership. Via a video posted to social media, Guest expressed sadness over the show's cancellation. Guest also revealed that before the axe came down the writers' room was set to reconvene shortly and that he'd already written the first episode of the season.
The show followed aspiring actor Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who tried to navigate the industry while hiding the fact that he has ionic-based super powers. Simon’s world was shaken up after he met fellow actor (and ex-Mandarin portrayer) Trevor Slattery and he landed an audition for the remake of Wonder Man, the superhero movie he loved during his youth.
By the end of the season, Simon became a bonafide star and the lead of the aforementioned film. However, in the closing moments of the finale, Williams broke into the Department of Damage Control to rescue Trevor after he reprised the Mandarin to cover for Simon’s actions.
It’s currently unknown if or when Simon or Trever might appear in the MCU again.
The future seems bright for the TV branch of Marvel Studios and filled with varied stories about complex characters looking to navigate extraordinary situations. As a fan, there’s honestly not much more to ask for. Here’s to even more hype-inducing superhero titles being added to this lineup in the future!
