MCU Animated Series Marvel Zombies Confirmed for Season Two
What happens when the MCU decides to double down on its undead experiment? Marvel Zombies is back, and Brad Winterbaum, Marvel’s head of TV, confirmed Season 2 is already in production. The confirmation shifts a surprise one-off into a longer commitment for Marvel storytelling.
Winterbaum revealed the development during a podcast appearance and said he has already seen the first animatic for episode one. He promised that the new season will honor the zombie premise while introducing an MCU element that has never happened before. “…There’s so much stuff I’m working on that I want to talk about, right? …I don’t think it’s a spoiler, but I saw the first animatic of the first episode of Marvel Zombies Season 2 and… it was crazy… I can’t say anything about it, but it delivers not just on like Zombies but also on an MCU thing that has never really happened before that we’re very excited to do.”
This development reflects Marvel’s flexible content approach, shifting between multi-season shows and special, self-contained events. It also signals that Marvel Zombies can be scaled up if viewers respond, a tactical move that ties creative ambition to audience demand.
The first season left a clear opening for more story. A zombified Wanda Maximoff, now calling herself the Queen of the Dead, defeated the remaining heroes, including the Infinity Hulk, and told a shaken Ms. Marvel, “So the world begins again.” Kamala briefly woke into what appeared to be a healed reality before Riri Williams—who viewers believed had died in episode one—revealed she was alive and yanked Kamala back to a harsher truth. Those cliffhanger threads, sown in 2025, clearly helped justify another season.
Winterbaum has long framed Marvel Zombies as a story destined to end without a tidy resolution, noting that you can “point to the zombie movie that has a happy ending.” In an interview with US News Hub Misryoum back in September 2025 he expanded on the possibility of a broader scope. “Bryan and I will sometimes just talk casually and start geeking out on the lore of this universe. I think it’s bigger than just
this story. I think there’s more stories to tell. There’s certainly characters on the field that we weren’t able to pull into this one adventure.” He was also clear about what would spur a renewal: “We would love to make a Season 2. We could start right now on a Season 2. But frankly, that depends on people subscribing to Disney+ and watching the series. In success… the next day we’ll start working on it.
So hopefully people love it as much as we do and they watch it.”
Bringing more players into this arc would let the Marvel Zombies series stretch beyond Earth. If the Nova Corps’ quarantine falters, extra-terrestrial races could enter the conflict. Comic runs have taken the contagion to truly massive scales, even touching beings as vast as Galactus, so the creative room here is substantial. Expanding the roster would raise stakes and create new visual demands, but it could also refresh viewer interest and justify the production risk.

The season renewal puts the show among the small number of MCU titles with two seasons, joining projects like Wonder Man, and sets up a new chapter for this grim corner of the franchise.
