X-Men fans have been eager to see the mutants join the big-screen Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that will finally happen this December in Avengers: Doomsday. In the meantime, the X-Men have been gaining popularity on Disney+ with the show X-Men ’97, which premiered in 2024. As a continuation of the beloved X-Men: The Animated Series, the show received excellent reviews and is considered by many to be one of Marvel’s best. Due to its success, fans are excited for more seasons, and now we have a better idea of when the show will return.
The first episode of X-Men ’97 Season 2 will debut at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival. According to the festival’s website, the episode is 60 minutes long and will be screened on Saturday, June 13th at 2:30 pm. Tickets will be available for purchase starting April 28th.
When Will X-Men ’97 Season 2 Premiere on Disney+?
Fans have been waiting for two years since the first season of X-Men ’97 finished, and now we have a better idea of when Season 2 is coming! While the Tribeca Film Festival screening date doesn’t give us an official release date, it suggests new episodes will likely be available on Disney+ in mid-to-late June. The festival is scheduled for June 13th, so a Disney+ release around that time makes sense.
Marvel plans to use the festival screening to create excitement for the upcoming second season of X-Men ’97 before it’s widely released. They’ll likely encourage attendees to share their reactions online, hoping to generate positive word-of-mouth. Given the time that’s passed since the first season, bringing X-Men ’97 to the Tribeca Festival is a smart move. The event’s publicity will remind viewers that more episodes are coming soon, and may even prompt them to rewatch the first season. If the festival reception is positive—and Marvel seems optimistic given the premiere location—they’ll likely release X-Men ’97 on Disney+ soon after.
Hopefully, fans won’t have to wait long for future episodes of X-Men ’97. Marvel is planning to release new seasons of its shows about once a year. Last year, Marvel’s Brad Winderbaum specifically said animated series like X-Men ’97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man would follow this schedule, which is great news! Season three of X-Men ’97 is already being made and should be available sometime in 2027.
It makes perfect sense that Marvel is prioritizing X-Men ’97 on Disney+ for the foreseeable future. The show is a fantastic continuation of a popular series, and it’s a clever way to keep the X-Men relevant while fans await the next X-Men movie. Although the X-Men will appear in Avengers: Doomsday, their next standalone film won’t arrive until after Avengers: Secret Wars. Since the mutants are expected to be central to the MCU’s next major storyline, having X-Men ’97 available ensures these characters stay visible and engaging for viewers.
