Two Marvel shows, X-Men ’97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, have received some big updates.
Marvel Studios’ X-Men ’97 premiered on the Disney+ streaming service in March 2024. A revival of X-Men: The Animated Series, the show was created by Beau DeMayo. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, meanwhile, arrived in January 2025. That Marvel Animation series is created by Jeff Trammell and explores Peter Parker’s early days as Spider-Man. Both shows are set in alternative timelines from the main MCU.

Per Variety, it has been announced that X-Men ’97 Season 2 will premiere in the summer of 2026. Additionally, the show has now been officially renewed for Season 3.
“A trailer shown in the room to [New York] Comic Con attendees showed the return of the evil mutant Apocalypse and the X-Men characters scattered across time,” the article notes. “The heroes, like Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Jubilee, Nightcrawler, and more, must find their way back to the 1990s after being lost in the past and future.”
