Remember that epic cliffhanger at the end of X-Men ’97 Season 1? The team scattered across time, Cyclops and Jean in a far-off future, others stuck in ancient Egypt—it left everyone hanging. Well, the wait for answers continues, but good things come to those who binge-watch the classics in the meantime. Season 2 heads to Disney+ in summer 2026, and the excitement already builds big time.
Marvel dropped the official word at New York Comic Con back in October—summer 2026 marks the premiere window. That gives the animation crew plenty of room to polish everything to perfection, especially after Season 1 blew away critics and fans alike. Plus, a third season already got the green light, so this mutant saga rolls on for years.
When Exactly Does X-Men ’97 Season 2 Drop on Disney+?
No pinpoint day yet, but expect it sometime between June and August 2026. Marvel’s Brad Winderbaum confirmed the mid-2026 slot, emphasizing quality over rushing things out. Trailers shown at cons teased massive action, and leaks hint at even bigger stakes than before.
Plot Teasers: Apocalypse Rises and Time Travel Chaos
Season 2 jumps right into the fallout from that wild finale. The X-Men remain split across eras—ancient Egypt, a dystopian future, and who knows where else. They battle to reunite while facing one of the biggest bads in comic history: Apocalypse.
This ancient mutant plans total domination, recruiting Horsemen and shaking up everything. Expect epic fights pulling from classic arcs like Age of Apocalypse, mixed with fresh twists. Themes of survival, family bonds, and what it means to fight for a world that fears you run deep.
New faces join the fray too—Sabretooth claws his way in, Polaris brings magnetic power, Havok blasts onto the scene, and more surprises await.
