X-Men '97 may now be over, but there are several new Marvel Cinematic Universe TV shows currently in development and set to release over the next few years. After the conclusion of the Infinity Saga and the inception of Disney+, Marvel Studios began to expand the MCU timeline even further by developing long-form shows for the new streaming platform. Marvel Studios' Disney+ shows gave supporting and secondary characters from previous MCU projects their time in the spotlight, and have also been used to introduce smaller-scale heroes to the MCU, such as She-Hulk, Daredevil, Ms. Marvel, and Moon Knight.

While not all of Marvel Studios' Disney+ series' have garnered a positive response, projects such as WandaVision, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, Hawkeye, and Loki quickly became some of the most popular installments in the entire MCU. Bob Iger may have promised that Disney would be pulling back on Marvel releases, and a change of strategy will reportedly see TV shows given more time in the planning stage, but there are still a number of MCU TV shows already confirmed.

What Is The Next Marvel TV Show?

12 Agatha All Along Brings More Magic To The MCU

WandaVision's Spin-Off Premieres In September 2024

After Kathryn Hahn's debut as Salem witch Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, it was revealed that she would be returning in the series' first spinoff, Agatha All Along, which will release on Disney+ on September 18, 2024. Premiering with 2 episodes, the MCU show was originally titled House of Harkness, later changed to Coven of Chaos and then Darkhold Diaries, before being announced with its final title, Agatha All Along, revealing the titles to be a marketing gimmick.

While Hahn will be the star of the show, Agatha: All Along's cast also includes Aubrey Plaza, Joe Locke, Patti LuPone, Sasheer Zamata, and Ali Ahn, as well as several returning actors from WandaVision as the residents of Westview, New Jersey. The series picks up after the events of WandaVision, with Agatha Harkness till trapped in the spell Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) left her in at the end of the series, and believing herself to be a detective investigating a murder. Bringing together a team of allies, including Plaza's Rio Vidal (an incredibly powerful witch), Agatha embarks on a journey to regain her powers.

11 Eyes Of Wakanda Is Set To Expand Wakanda's On-Screen History

Black Panther's Homeland Returns In 2024

A surprise addition to the MCU slate in December 2023, Eyes of Wakanda is an animated spinoff of the Black Panther movies, which will expand the lore of Wakanda. The official synopsis revealed by Marvel Studios reveals “Throughout Wakandan history, brave warriors have been tasked to travel the world retrieving dangerous vibranium artifacts. This is their story.”

That suggests the series could be a prequel, focusing on Wakandan "outreach" prior to T'Challa's reign as king, with the Dora Milaje and previous Black Panthers operating to retrieve lost vibranium. Nothing is yet confirmed on the story, nor any cast members, but it's an intriguing way to expand the rich potential of Wakandan lore.

The animated series will explore Peter Parker's MCU origin story as Spider-Man from a different angle, seemingly retelling Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Intriguingly, it will see the return of Tom Holland's live-action Spider-Man, with What If...?'s Hudson Thames instead returning to voice this version of Peter Parker, whose mentor is Norman Osborn instead of Tony Stark. Charlie Cox is also expected to voice Matt Murdock's Daredevil in the series, which will also introduce several iconic Spider-Man villains to the MCU, such as Rhino, Doctor Octopus, and Tarantula.

Daredevil: Born Again has recently been reworked following a series of problems, but Cox and D'Onofrio will be joined by Jon Bernthal - returning as Frank Castle, a.k.a. the Punisher, Margarita Levieva, Sandrine Holt, Michael Gandolfini, and Nikki M.

8 Ironheart Can Continue Iron Man's MCU Legacy

7 X-Men '97 Will Return For 2 More Seasons

The Revived Mutant Show Was A Big Win For Marvel Animation

After the success of the first 10 episodes of X-Men '97, which was created by Beau DeMayo before his departure from the project prior to its release, Marvel executive Brad Winterbaum announced that at least two more seasons would follow. DeMayo himself confirmed that he originally had plans for 5 seasons of X-Men '97, so there may be more than what's currently been announced.

X-Men '97's season 1 ending set up several storylines for the future, particularly with the seemingly inevitable arrival of notorious Marvel villain Onslaught. Now that the X-Men are reunited under Charles Xavier's leadership, there is huge potential for even more of Marvel's X-Men comics storylines to also make it to Disney+. Beau DeMayo is seemingly unlikely to return, but the creative team behind the show have proven their mettle so well that there should be confidence that the well-reviewed show can continue on the same path.
