X-Men ’97 Season 2 Release Date, Cast Members, Storyline, Trailer, and Everything

X-Men ’97 was one of the most awaited releases in 2024. The action-packed series excites the audience to the core with its iconic superheroes. The ending of the first season led the viewers to want even more. To their happiness, the series has already been renewed for two more seasons.

Beau DeMayo created the animated series X-Men 97, based on the superhero teams in Marvel Comics. It is also a revival of X-Men: The Animated Series, which aired between 1992 and 1997.

The show premiered in May 2024 and continues the 1992 animated series story of the X-Men after they lose their leader, Professor X, and face new obstacles.

The show became a hit on the streaming platform and received positive reviews from critics. IMDb gave the series an 8.9 rating; on Rotten Tomatoes, it received a 99% approval rating and an 8.85 average rating.

Now, everyone is waiting to know more about X-Men ’97 season 2. So here we will explore every detail regarding the second season, including the release date, cast, plot, and more.

X-Men ’97 Season 2 Release Date

Marvel didn’t confirm the release date of X-Men ’97 season 2. The series was announced in 2021 and debuted with the first two episodes on March 20, 2024. The remaining episodes were released weekly until May 15. 

The second season’s production started in September last year and will take several months to complete, as Marvel fired the showrunner, Beau LeMayo, before the first season’s premiere. So, the production process will take longer than expected. 

The reason behind LeMayo’s departure is not disclosed, but it is reported that he had finished writing season 2 before his exit and confirmed that he would not be involved in its rewriting process or other productions.

In a conversation with Comic Book, Marvel’s head Brad Winderbaum revealed that the series’s second season is in the “animatic phase.” He added, “Animation takes so long to make, as I’m sure you know.”

The first season took three years to complete after the announcement. Considering this, X-Men ’97 season 2 will probably be released sometime in late 2025.

X-Men ’97 Season 2 Plot Synopsis – Spoilers Ahead

The series continues the plot of X-Men: The Animated Series, which follows Mutants, people with special superhero powers. Professor Charles Xavier founded a mutant superhero team named the X-Men to protect mutants and humans. At the end of the series, in an assassination attempt, Xavier nearly faces death and is healed by an alien Shi’ar Empire by taking him into space.

X-Men 97 took place one year after the incident, and the X-Men had to face new challenges without Xavier. In the finale of the series, X-Men, by using their power, tried to stop Asteroid M from moving forward to the Earth, which caused its explosion in the mid-atmosphere, which the world thought the superheroes were dead. But they didn’t die; instead, they traveled to different points in time.

Cyclops and Jean Grey traveled to the future after 2000 years and encountered another group of mutants called Clan Askani, while the rest of the X-Men landed 5000 years ago, in 3000 B.C. It left Forge to only X-Men in the Earth, and he tried to find the missing mutants. 

The second season will continue where the first season left off. The post-credit scene teases Gambit’s return from death.
