In 2025, Marvel Studios launched several new projects, but the biggest surprise success was Marvel Zombies. Despite initial doubts from many fans, the series became a breakout hit, demonstrating once again how well Marvel’s superhero stories work with horror elements—similar to Werewolf By Night. It also highlighted the potential of Marvel Animation to explore innovative ideas that the live-action films and shows can’t always take risks on.
It’s not surprising to hear reports that a second season of Marvel Zombies is being planned. Daniel RPK shared the news, though details are still scarce. However, it’s worth looking back at how well the first season performed.
Marvel Zombies May Be The MCU’s Biggest Hit In 2025
Let’s be clear: Marvel Zombies wasn’t a huge hit in terms of viewership or box office numbers. But it does prove a point: the Marvel Cinematic Universe is currently facing challenges in maintaining its popularity and success. This series successfully demonstrated that Marvel can explore horror and animation, and that positive fan reaction doesn’t always require a massive budget.
Rumors about a second season of Marvel Zombies started almost immediately after the show debuted on Disney+ on September 24th. The limited series was a hit right away, reaching the top spot on Disney+ within its first three days. Reports suggest it was the most-watched show on the service in over 30 countries during its launch week, and globally by October 6th – just two weeks after it premiered. Notably, Marvel Zombies even outperformed other popular streaming shows like ABC’s High Potential and Disney+/Hulu’s new series Alien: Earth, which had been highly anticipated.
Ignoring the numbers for a moment, Marvel fans are really excited about Marvel Zombies, and the reaction online has been overwhelmingly positive. This kind of clear, unified praise is unusual for the MCU since Avengers: Endgame. Many fans believe Marvel Studios should trust what their audience enjoys and deliver more of it. Considering the popularity of What If…?, a second season of Marvel Zombies seems like a guaranteed hit.
You can stream Marvel Zombies on Disney+.
