Your cheat sheet to every upcoming Marvel and Star Wars TV series on Disney+
Disney+ is lining up a fresh wave of Marvel and Star Wars shows, from new entries to returning favourites — and you’ll want to know exactly what’s coming.
Been a wild few years for Disney+, hasn’t it? Back when it launched in 2019, the original plan seemed to be firehose-level amounts of Marvel and Star Wars content – and fair enough, it kept us all busy, even if some of those titles started tripping over one another and the big screen stuff started to feel less like an event. Lately, though, you’ll have noticed Disney’s trimmed things back a bit: less frantic production on the pricey live-action stuff, some projects thrown out altogether, and a much tighter focus on making the films feel special again. The odd thing is, while the live-action slate is shrinking, they’re quietly stockpiling a heap of animated shows for the next three years. Here’s what’s actually coming down the pipe, with all the essentials – because half these announcements are so tangled you practically need a flow chart.
There’s more Star Wars and Marvel animation coming to Disney+ in 2027 and 2028 than live-action drama – and some of it’s already deep in development.
VisionQuest (14 October 2026)
Alright, MCU fans: VisionQuest lands as the last chapter in a trilogy that kicked off with WandaVision and then Agatha All Along. Paul Bettany’s Vision (yes, the synthetic bloke with a philosophical crisis baked in) is back as the main act, trying to figure out what life even means now he’s got all his memories and trauma.” On top of dodging some mysterious pursuers, Vision ends up teaming up with Thomas Sheppard (played by Ruaridh Mollica), who’s noteworthy because he’s essentially the reincarnated soul of Vision’s own ‘son’, Tommy Maximoff. If you’re trying to keep track of the Maximoff offspring, you’ve got your work cut out.
The show isn’t shying away from its AI heritage either. Vision’s subconscious will see him interacting with a whole suite of Tony Stark-era artificial intelligences: J.A.R.V.I.S. (James D’Arcy), E.D.I.T.H. (Emily Hampshire), F.R.I.D.A.Y. (Orla Bradley), D.U.M.-E. (Henry Lewis), U. (Jonathan Sayer), and yes, Ultron himself (James Spader). The series runs eight episodes, and here’s the inside bit: it’s set to be the final MCU show before Avengers: Doomsday, so whatever shakes out here, it’s probably important.
Ahsoka Series 2 (20 January 2027)
The second run of Ahsoka is now locked for early 2027, which’ll be nearly four years after season one wrapped. If you’re wondering why the gap, Disney seems to be moving at a glacial pace on live-action Star Wars. Anyway, this season kicks off with Grand Admiral Thrawn waging all-out war on the galaxy, absolutely refusing to take the New Republic seriously (which, to be fair, isn’t a million miles off what some fans reckon about the Disney-era Republic in general). Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) and Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) need to find their way home, and there’s a new puzzle about what on earth ex-Jedi mercenary Baylan Skoll (now played by Rory McCann since Ray Stevenson’s passing) is chasing after.
If you’re a Rebels obsessive, this is a playground: Zeb Orrelios is back after cameoing in The Mandalorian, and the showrunners aren’t exactly being coy about this being one enormous Star Wars: Rebels reunion. Now, here’s the weird bit: Ahsoka 2 is, at the time of writing, the only live-action Star Wars series left in active production. Unless the strategy changes, this season could be the end of Disney+’s big live-action Star Wars push that began back with The Mandalorian.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Series 2 (January 2027)
Jumping over to the animated side, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man took the MCU’s origin approach and spun it into a genuinely inventive, standalone cartoon when it first dropped in January 2025. Adaptations like this can go either way, but this one struck critical gold, and now season two’s finally pencilled in for January 2027 (they’d originally aimed for late 2026, but these things slip, don’t they?).
The new season introduces Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen, and loads the villain roster: Doc Ock, Scorpion, The Rhino and Venom are all slated, with Daredevil’s (voiced by Charlie Cox, still attached) expanded role and a sidekick in Finesse (voiced by Anjali Kunapaneni). Not exactly short of Easter eggs for Marvel die-hards.
Daredevil: Born Again Series 3 (2027)
Live-action MCU is almost extinct on the small screen at this point, and Daredevil: Born Again series three is probably going to be its last hurrah for a while. It’ll also be the only live-action Marvel series hitting between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars – notable, considering how dense those movies will be. If you caught season two, you’ll remember Matt Murdock had to publicly admit he’s Daredevil by the end, which, as problems go, is up there. Now, he’s behind bars for season three, and the city’s being kept safe by the rest of the former Defenders crew.
Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones and Mike Colter’s Luke Cage return from season two, but the line-up expands even further: Finn Jones returns as Iron Fist, Elodie Yung as Elektra, and – despite being punted from New York – Vincent D’Onofrio is back as Kingpin. Even though there’s no official release date, the last two seasons aired in March, so it’s probably safe to mark your diary for March 2027.
Maul – Shadow Lord Series 2 (2027)
If you missed it, Maul – Shadow Lord burst onto Disney+ in early 2026, right on cue for the franchise’s big 50th anniversary. It was a proper hit with critics, and Disney had already gambled on it by commissioning 20 episodes split over two seasons before any of us even saw a single frame. The first run wrapped with young Twi’lek Jedi Devon giving in to her darker urges and letting Maul himself become her new mentor. Maul’s also shifted his alliances, now working with Dryden Vos as Crimson Dawn starts moving into place — putting us tantalisingly near the same timeline as Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Details on what’s in store for season two are practically non-existent, but odds are good Disney will aim for a May the Fourth launch. They do love the cross-promotion.
X-Men ’97 Series 3 & 4 (2027/2028)
Not content with just a revival, X-Men ’97 is already confirmed for two more series – number three in 2027, number four in 2028 (which happens to be the same year the big-screen MCU X-Men movie arrives, so don’t be shocked if there’s some synchronised hype).
The show just finished its second season, closing out with an end-credits sequence that had Mystique disguised as Val Cooper, plotting to target both the US and its new anti-mutant president, Graydon Creed. Series three is due to feature a new-look Brotherhood of Mutants including Toad, Pyro, Avalanche, Blob, and Surge. No real detail on series four yet, but Marvel are throwing everything at the X-Men banner across the next couple of years, that much is clear.
Marvel Zombies Series 2 (TBD)
One of the oddest corners of Marvel TV, Marvel Zombies started as a What If...? one-off, spun out into a four-episode miniseries, and ran with the bleakest possible premise you could get past the Disney censors. There’s zombies, crossovers galore, and even a version of Blade clearly modelled on Mahershala Ali, back when he was still supposed to headline a film (that’s another saga). That first series tied up with a deeply grim Twilight Zone finish, but it was flexible enough to allow for more, and surprise surprise: a second series was first referenced in early 2026 and then formally greenlit by April 2026. Animatics are already in progress, but details about the plot, cast, or anything else whatsoever remain tightly under wraps. If they can finish up in time, Disney’s targeting an autumn 2027 release, but based on the current schedule, late 2028 is just as likely.
