– Already deep into its development cycle- Set to be released in 2027- No trailer available to watch yet- Vast majority of its main voice cast set to return- Other characters due to join its ensemble- Season 2 finale drops big clue about the direction of its plot- Season 4 already in the works
Rejoice, Marvel fans, because X-Men '97 season 3 is already deep into its development cycle. That means we'll see it sometime in 2027, which is a welcome change from the two-year gap we had to endure between the animated show's first two seasons.
Of course, we don't know its actual return date on Disney+, but other things have been revealed and teased about X-Men '97's third outing. Luckily for you, I've rounded up the most important details below, so don't delay — scroll on to learn all there is to know about the series' third season.
As I mentioned, X-Men '97 season 3 is set to arrive sometime next year.
Brad Winderbaum, aka Marvel's Head of Television, Animation, Streaming, and Comics, confirmed it'll premiere in 2027 during a chat with comicbook.com. Winderbaum recently doubled down on those comments in a separate interview with Collider.
As for when exactly season 3 will air, I predict it'll follow in last season's footsteps and land a mid-year release. Currently, Daredevil: Born Again season 3 is the only other Marvel TV show that'll drop next year, and rumors abound that it's eyeing a March 2027 launch. Should that be the case, I doubt we'll see the X-Men's animated series again until June or July 2027.
Nope. However, Marvel is deep into post-production on season 3, so it's possible that a trailer could be unveiled at New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2026.
Traditionally, Marvel has debuted teasers for new Disney+ shows during past editions of that fan expo. However, those trailers have been shown exclusively to attendees, meaning the rest of us had to wait a long time for them to become publicly available.

If X-Men '97 season 3's first footage is unveiled in October at NYCC 2026, it'll be a while before the rest of us see it. Regardless, once a trailer is released, I'll update this section.
Full spoilers follow for X-Men '97 season 2.
Based on how last season ended, here's who I expect to see (and hear) again in X-Men '97 season 3:
There could be other returning faces/voices from the past two seasons as well.
