Good News, Mutants: X-Men '97 Season 3 Won't Be a Long Wait
Good news, mutants! X-Men '97 EP Larry Houston just dropped a bombshell: the wait between Season 2 and Season 3 will be significantly shorter. Fans remember the massive gap between the acclaimed first season and the upcoming second. Houston confirmed production snags are resolved. 'That was a one-off,' he told The Direct, promising 'lessons learned.' This is massive for a series that quickly became a fan favorite, resurrecting a beloved classic.
The accelerated production schedule doesn't stop there. Season 4 scripts are already in development, showing Marvel Animation's confidence in the show's future.
But before we look too far ahead, X-Men '97 Season 2 premieres July 1st. Get ready for some heavy themes. Executive Producers Larry Houston, Eric Lewald, and Julia Lewald confirmed Gambit's tragic death from Season 1 casts a long shadow over the new episodes. Rogue, especially, grapples with the loss.
“Luckily, the production problems won't occur again. That was a one-off.”
Catzye Take
This is fantastic news for fans who binged the first season and immediately wanted more. The commitment to faster production, coupled with early Season 4 script work, shows Marvel Animation understands the demand. Get ready for a continuous flow of mutant goodness!
