The Ultimate Marvel Studios Disney+ TV Show Lineup: Unveiling 12 Epic Upcoming Series

Summary

Disney+ is continuing to release multiple MCU TV shows through 2023 and 2024, suggesting that they are just as important to the MCU timeline as the main movies.

Groot is set to make a comeback in a second season, consisting of five fresh episodes, premiering on September 6, 2023. The series will showcase exciting new escapades for Vin Diesel's lovable hero in infancy.

Disney+ enthusiasts can anticipate the reappearance of beloved characters and the introduction of new ones in a range of upcoming shows, including Loki Season 2, Echo, What If...? Season 2, Daredevil: Born Again, Agatha: Coven of Chaos, Ironheart, and Wakanda.

Below is a comprehensive list of all confirmed Marvel Studios TV shows that will be available on Disney+. Despite Bob Iger's promise to reduce Marvel content due to a challenging financial period, there are still multiple shows from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that are scheduled for release until 2023 and 2024, and potentially even beyond.

Marvel has successfully utilized their Disney+ TV shows to give supporting characters prominent roles. This approach not only deepens the development of these characters with limited screen time but also allows them to introduce new heroes who will play important roles in the MCU's Phase 4 and beyond. Initially, the Disney+ shows may have been perceived as supplementary material to the movies, but it has become evident that they are just as significant to the overall MCU timeline as the main films themselves. Make sure to mark these upcoming MCU Disney+ TV shows on your calendar.

Echo

Set to premiere on November 29, 2023, Echo will make her debut as a remarkable Deaf superhero in Marvel Comics. Known for her ability to replicate the physical movements of others, Echo serves as both a formidable antagonist and a complex antihero-turned-superhero in both the Hawkeye Disney+ TV show and her original comic book appearances. Notably, Echo shares a connection with Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin, who is set to return in the stand-alone series. Joining him is Charlie Cox's Daredevil, paving the way for his highly anticipated MCU series, Born Again.

Echo's real name is Maya Lopez, and she is portrayed by Alaqua Cox in both Hawkeye and Echo.

Marvel Studios has announced a new show called X-Men '97 as part of Disney+ Day 2021. This series will revisit the popular X-Men: The Animated Series and pick up where it left off after its original cancellation. While details about the story are being kept mostly secret, a sneak peek at SDCC 2023 revealed that Professor X is missing, and the new X-Men team will consist of Bishop, Morph, Cable, Forge, Sunspot, Emma Frost, Sinister, Sebastian Shaw, and Callisto.

What If...? Season 2

Expected to be released in late 2023 or early 2024, season 2 of Marvel's What If...? was announced in December 2019, well ahead of the release of season 1. The first season of the show received positive feedback, and viewers can anticipate a continuation of its captivating premise in season 2. The return of Jeffrey Wright as The Watcher, Uatu, guarantees the exploration of the diverse narratives found within the Marvel Cinematic Universe's alternate universes.

Daredevil: Born Again

One episode's plot is already known as it was removed from season 1 due to production issues but hinted at in the finale: Iron Man and Gamora defeat Thanos and survive Sakaar. Captain Carter is set to return, fulfilling the post-credits teaser from What If...? season 1. What If... season 2 is expected to have nine episodes and premiere on Disney+ in late 2023 or early 2024, including another episode featuring Laurence Fishburne's Goliath. In addition, What If...? season 2 will showcase Shang-Chi's Mandarin taking on Odin, a Valkyrie/Hulk team-up, and an episode set in 1602. Furthermore, there are reports suggesting that Bigfoot will also make an appearance.

Release Date: Early 2024

The MCU's Daredevil has officially been saved and will be making a comeback on Disney+ following the end of the Marvel-Netflix partnership. Disney and Marvel Studios have announced their plans for Matt Murdock (played by Charlie Cox) to once again become The Man Without Fear. The highly anticipated series, Daredevil: Born Again, is set to premiere on Disney+ in 2024 and will consist of an impressive 18 episodes. Fans of the original Daredevil series on Netflix are thrilled with this news, as the length of the series aligns with the established Daredevil format and indicates that the franchise will not undergo significant changes to fit in with other Disney+ MCU shows.

It's reassuring to see that Disney recognized the dedicated fan base of the Netflix version and made the decision to bring back Charlie Cox as Daredevil, rather than assuming a mere rebranding would guarantee the same level of success. However, it's important to note that Daredevil: Born Again is not a continuation of the Netflix Daredevil's fourth season, but rather a reboot with familiar faces. Alongside Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio will also return as Wilson Fisk, also known as the Kingpin. However, Elden Henson's Foggy Nelson and Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page will not be joining the cast.

Agatha: Coven of Chaos

Announced as part of Disney+ Day 2021, Agatha: Coven of Chaos is a spinoff show that follows the popular antagonist from WandaVision, Agatha Harkness. Originally titled Agatha: House of Harkness, Marvel revealed the new show title at SDCC 2022. This marks the first Disney+ series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be a spinoff of another Disney+ series rather than an MCU movie. Kathryn Hahn will reprise her role as the charismatic witch Agatha Harkness, with Jac Schaeffer, writer of WandaVision, returning for the series. The release date is set for 2024.

While the plot details are currently unknown, it is expected that Agatha: Coven of Chaos will delve into Agatha Harkness' intriguing past and explore the aftermath of her being trapped as Agnes in Westview by Wanda. The series will bring back several actors from WandaVision, including Kate Frobes, Emma Caulfield, Debra Jo Rupp, and David Lengel. Additionally, new additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Aubrey Plaza, Joe Locke, Maria Dizzia, and Ali Ahn, have joined the cast.

Ironheart

Ironheart, set to be released in 2024, features Dominique Thorne, known for her role in Judas and the Black Messiah, as Riri Williams. Riri, a brilliant engineering student, takes on the role of the titular character and creates her own Iron Man suit. Although there are limited details available about Ironheart, Marvel has brought on Chinaka Hodge from Snowpiercer as the head writer. The series will consist of six episodes and filming commenced in Chicago in early 2022 for plate shots and other pre-production elements. Rumors suggest that the cast and crew began shooting around June. After making her debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Riri's journey will continue in Ironheart, slated for release in 2024.

Wakanda

Release Date: To Be Announced

Wakanda, a revered location among fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will soon be featured not only in the highly anticipated film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever but also in an upcoming Disney+ series. Apart from its setting, little is known about the specifics of the Wakanda series, including its plot, cast, and timeline. It is speculated that the show may center around the Dora Milaje, who were last seen in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Beyond these hints, the details of the series remain shrouded in mystery for the time being.

Spider-Man: Freshman Year

Release Date: TBA

Following the news of Tom Holland reprising his role as Spider-Man for three additional standalone films after Spider-Man: No Way Home, it is evident that the MCU is fully committed to the character and the Spider-Family. As a result, Marvel has recently announced a new animated prequel TV series set in the MCU. It remains uncertain if Spider-Man: Freshman Year will be considered part of the main MCU canon. Some early revelations appear to contradict Holland's established story arc, particularly the inclusion of Doctor Octopus, a villain whom the Earth-616 Parker had not encountered prior to his encounter with Alfred Molina in No Way Home.

Marvel Zombies

Release Date: TBA

After the widespread acclaim received by Marvel Zombies in What If...?, many viewers eagerly requested the introduction of more MCU zombies. Disney+ Day 2021 granted their wishes with the announcement of the Marvel Zombies series. Although it has yet to be confirmed if the show will align with the What If...? zombie storyline or present its own unique interpretation, Marvel Zombieswill offer a mature and gritty atmosphere, indicated by its TV-MA rating. Bryan Andrews will be at the helm as the director, while Zeb Wells will take charge of the writing duties. The zombies episode of What If...? concluded with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger that left fans on the edge of their seats. While the zombies made a comeback in the season finale, if Marvel Zombies revisits this universe, Marvel Studios might finally unveil the formidable powers of zombie Thanos in Wakanda. Unfortunately, eager fans will have to exercise patience and wait until at least 2024 for the answers they seek.

Wonder Man

Release Date: TBA

In 2022, Destin Daniel Cretton, the director of Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings, teamed up with Andrew Guest, a writer/producer for Brooklyn Nine-Nine, to create a Wonder Man Disney+ show, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Details about the show's storyline are scarce, but it has been confirmed that Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will portray Simon Williams, also known as Wonder Man, while Demetrius Grosse will play his brother and nemesis, Eric Williams or Grim Reaper.

In the comics, Wonder Man is closely connected to Scarlet Witch and is a founding member of the West Coast Avengers. He possesses superhuman strength and endurance thanks to Baron Zemo, but what sets him apart is his iconic turtleneck and sunglasses, which he sported for many years. Simon Williams, who started as an actor before becoming a superhero, is known for his sharp wit. Production for Wonder Man began in April 2023, but no release date has been announced yet. However, fans can look forward to other MCU Disney+ shows in the meantime.
