Which MCU Disney+ Shows Could Be Renewed for Season 2?

by

As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the Marvel Universe, I can confidently say that this new approach to television storytelling is nothing short of revolutionary for the MCU. The shift from producing multiple limited series to greenlighting shows for multiple seasons allows for more cohesive and in-depth narratives, which is exactly what the franchise needs as it moves forward.

After Marvel Cinematic Universe series began airing on Disney+ in 2021, only two out of eleven have continued past their first season. However, during D23 Brazil in November, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced that additional MCU TV shows will receive a second season. In his conversation with Brazilian media outlet Omelete, Feige stated, “We’ll have more renewals starting with Daredevil: Born Again.” He also mentioned that they are eager to debut the first season next year while already filming the second. This indicates Marvel Studios’ preference for creating shows over multiple seasons, which is one of the most exciting aspects of television.

Apart from “What If…?”, the forthcoming “Daredevil” reboot, all other Marvel Cinematic Universe TV shows are currently limited series. While no definitive decisions have been made about which shows will continue, Feige’s statement opens up possibilities for further discussion and analysis of the ongoing status of each MCU miniseries on Disney+.

As a captivated gamer, I can’t help but share my thoughts on the mesmerizing journey that was WandaVision, the groundbreaking Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) TV series that premiered on Disney+. This enchanting show took viewers on an unforgettable trip through various sitcom eras, a unique backdrop for Elizabeth Olsen’s portrayal of Wanda Maximoff as she grappled with the tragic loss of her beloved Vision (Paul Bettany) and evolved into the formidable Scarlet Witch.

Following closely behind WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier concluded its storyline, setting up future projects. At the end of the series, Anthony Mackie’s character, Sam Wilson, took on the mantle of Captain America, marking his new role for the 2025 film, Captain America: Brave New World. Additionally, Danny Ramirez’s Joaquin Torres will be seen as the new Falcon in this upcoming movie. Meanwhile, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes and Wyatt Russell’s John Walker are expected to reappear in Thunderbolts.

Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, with a 52% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) series Secret Invasion stands out as an exception compared to its generally well-received television counterparts. Based on comic book storylines and serving as a precursor for Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury in The Marvels, Secret Invasion does have some lingering plot threads involving Emilia Clarke’s G’iah and Olivia Colman’s Sonya Falsworth. However, given the high production cost of $212 million for the first season, it seems unlikely that Marvel will try to salvage Secret Invasion with a renewal, considering its current status.

Unlike other Marvel titles, Echo was published under the Marvel Spotlight banner, which means it has limited ties to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. After Alaqua Cox’s introduction as Maya Lopez in 2021’s Hawkeye, Echo delved into the character’s backstory, with Maya facing off against Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk. Although the standalone narrative allows for further storytelling beyond season 1, it’s highly probable that Maya will be seen in Daredevil: Born Again instead, given her history with Fisk.

The show “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” garnered mixed responses from viewers, yet stood out by incorporating self-referential humor that deviated from the usual Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) format. The series effectively introduced Tatiana Maslany’s character Jennifer Walters into the MCU’s group of Hulks, and it’s hoped she’ll appear in future productions. The storyline of “She-Hulk” revolving around Jennifer’s daily life paves the way for numerous season 2 plot ideas. In 2022, creator Jessica Gao expressed her intention to wrap up a compelling narrative within one season while leaving room for potential follow-ups in seasons 2, 3, and 4.

Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani’s character Kamala Khan) made her debut in the MCU and there’s a strong possibility she might revisit Jersey City for another round. Her tale continued in The Marvels, where she collaborated with Monica Rambeau and Carol Danvers (played by Brie Larson). About a year ago, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah mentioned that the future of Ms. Marvel would be decided following The Marvels’ release in theaters, but fans are still waiting for an update. Nevertheless, there’s a chance for season 2 to materialize, as well as Kamala potentially featuring in a Young Avengers project.

The MCU Shows Most Likely to Get a Season 2

The diverse storylines involving Hailee Steinfeld’s character Kate Bishop, Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, and others in Hawkeye series offer a wealth of options for a potential second season. Given its role as a grounded hero series in a universe expanding towards the multiverse and mutants, continuing Hawkeye would be quite logical. Despite Kate’s expected leadership role in the Young Avengers in future projects, there seems to be ample room for her to team up with Clint again for more exciting escapades.

In 2022, Oscar Isaac shared that there hadn’t been any formal announcement regarding Moon Knight season 2, and it appears that this remains the case. Despite numerous speculations and a strong fanbase eagerly anticipating another season, the future of Moon Knight remains uncertain. The show concluded with an open-ended plot revolving around Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley, leaving ample room for Marvel to potentially renew Moon Knight.

The latest TV series from the Marvel Cinematic Universe could potentially have a second season. While Agatha Harkness was killed off and became a ghost at the end of her series, it appears that her narrative might continue by assisting Joe Locke’s character Billy Maximoff in locating his brother Tommy. This storyline might manifest as Season 2 or some other project, but given the popularity of Agatha All Along, there’s a higher chance that its characters will reappear in the Marvel Universe.

Shifting strategies for awards consideration, Marvel plans to categorize Agatha All Along as a comedy series rather than a limited series. This move suggests that additional seasons may be on the horizon since ongoing series are required for submission in this category. An interesting tidbit suggesting a potential renewal can be found in the December 5th edition of Production Weekly, where Agatha All Along season 2 is listed among many projects currently in development across the industry. Although this doesn’t guarantee the arrival of another season, it brings us a step closer to the possibility becoming a reality.

What This New Approach to TV Means for the MCU

As a dedicated Marvel fan and gamer, I’ve noticed that instead of rushing out numerous limited series one after another, they prefer to greenlight shows for multiple seasons. This approach allows them to weave more cohesive storylines with recurring characters, which I believe enhances the overall viewing experience.
