Get your framed pictures of Jean Grey out of your sock drawer and prepare to lovingly caress them! The second season of the popular and critically acclaimed X-Men '97 animated series is arriving on Disney+ before you can say "snickt"! So, when can you mark the release date for X-Men '97 Season 2 on your calendar?

The X-Men '97 Season 2 release date is mid-2026 on Disney+. Currently, a more precise release date for the series is not available. However, the show has already been renewed for a third season. It has been a couple of years since the previous season of X-Men '97 concluded on May 15th, 2024. And of course, there are plenty of other upcoming TV and streaming release dates to keep you occupied in the meantime. Currently, a trailer for X-Men '97 Season 2 is not available, although one was shared at San Diego Comic Con 2025.

Hold on to your longboxes, because the second season of X-Men '97 promises to introduce even more mutants to the lineup. In fact, one of the producers of the series, Brad Winderbaum, has shared several hints about the second season. These include the fact that Polaris will appear in the second season, along with two other X-teams. One of these will be X-Factor. But of course, this being a Marvel show, you can also expect that there are plenty more surprises in store.

The release date for X-Men '97 Season 2 on Disney+ is mid-2026.

To me, my X-Men fans. Want more about Marvel's mutants? You don't need Cerebro to find what you should read next... we made a list!
