Disney+ has come a long way since it launched in 2019, and that’s in large part thanks to its exclusive movies and series, a large number of which are now Marvel-related.
Marvel Studios has made a number of announcements about its upcoming content in the TV show space. Here are all the new Marvel Disney+ series coming our way in 2023 and beyond.

Marvel Phase 5 on Disney+
Secret Invasion
Secret Invasion adapts one of Marvel’s most infamous comic book storylines. With the return of the shapeshifting Skrulls, it will be harder than ever to tell who is who.
The series stars Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn as the Skrull Talos—characters who first met in Marvel Studios’ Captain Marvel. The crossover comic event series showcases a faction of shapeshifting Skrulls who have been infiltrating Earth for years.
Stream it now on Disney+.
Loki – Season 2
Loki’s debut season set the stage for many big things to come in the MCU as Tom Hiddleston’s character unravelled the mysteries of the Time Variance Authority and travelled to the Citadel at the End of Time, where he and his variant Sylvie caused a ripple effect that sets up Marvel’s next big bad: Kang the Conquerer.
Some more details about Loki season 2 were announced at D23, which included the reveal that Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All At Once) is joining the cast. The post-credits scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was also taken directly from Loki’s second season and reveals another of Kang’s variants – Victor Timely.
The official trailer for the new season of Loki shows the God of Mischief dealing with time slipping which seems to be an after-effect of their antics in season 1.
Release date: October 6, 2023
Echo
In Hawkeye, we were introduced to a new face – Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez – who is now getting her own series with Echo.
In her MCU debut, we learned that Maya was raised in part by infamous villain Kingpin, and it’s confirmed that Vincent D’Onofrio will return in the series. Here’s the synopsis:
The origin story of Echo revisits Maya Lopez, whose ruthless behaviour in New York City catches up with her in her hometown. She must face her past, reconnect with her Native American roots and embrace the meaning of family and community if she ever hopes to move forward.
In a first for Marvel’s Disney+ series, all episodes of Echo are going to drop at once rather than follow a weekly release schedule.
Release date: November 29, 2023
Ironheart
Iron Man may be gone, but his legacy lives on in the MCU. We don’t know much about Ironheart yet but it seems it will follow a similar story to that of the comics.
All Marvel can tell us is that Riri Williams (played by Dominique Throne), who was introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, is a genius inventor who creates the most advanced suit of armour since Iron Man.
Anthony Ramos (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) has been cast as The Hood and Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) and Shea Couleè (RuPaul’s Drag Race) will also appear in the series.
Release date: TBA
Agatha: Coven of Chaos
Agatha Harkness was no doubt the breakout star from WandaVision in 2021. Clearly, everyone at Marvel thought the same, which is why we’ll see Kathryn Hahn headline her own Disney+ series as the witch.
Aubrey Plaza has an unknown role in the show which is, quite frankly, perfect casting. Sharon Davis will also reprise her role from WandaVision and Heartstopper star Joe Locke has been cast as an unknown character.
Agatha: Coven of Chaos (previously known as House of Harkness) wrapped filming in May 2023, so we can hopefully expect it sometime in 2024.
Release date: TBA
Daredevil: Born Again
For years fans have been wondering whether the Marvel series that were once on Netflix would return in the MCU. When Charlie Cox made an appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home as Matt Murdock and She-Hulk as Daredevil, it seemed like those suspicions were being confirmed.
Now the character is getting his very own solo series on Disney+ titled Daredevil: Born Again. The new show will consist of a whopping 18 episodes and star both Cox and Kingpin actor Vincent D’Onofrio. Jon Bernthal is also reportedly returning as The Punisher.
The series is currently filming in New York but has since been paused due to the guild strikes in the US.
Release date: TBA
Wonder Man
An intriguing new project from Marvel is Wonder Man, which will be produced by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director, Destin Daniel Cretton. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is in the lead role with Ben Kingsley returning to his MCU role as Trevor Slattery.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series will centre on a “Hollywood stuntman and actor trying to make it big in the movies.”
Release date: TBA
Marvel Animated Series on Disney+
What If…? Season 2
The MCU’s first foray into animated multiversal madness is coming back for a second season. What If..? Season 2 will pick up the story from the first season with more actors from the MCU reprising their roles.
After enlisting the Guardians of the Multiverse to stop Infinity Ultron, The Watcher returns in Season 2 of What If…? to meet new heroes and explore more strange new worlds in the MCU’s ever-expanding Multiverse.
I saw an episode from the new season at Comic-Con in 2022 and can tell you that many exciting characters are making an appearance in this one (including the queen: Scarlet Witch).
Release date: TBA
X-MEN ’97
If you miss the good old days of the X-Men animated series, then Disney+ has a treat for you.
Announced at Disney+ Day X-MEN ’97 is a new animated series exploring stories set in the same iconic ’90s timeline of the original. The classic lineup will be back with the likes of Beast, Wolverine, Jean Gray and Storm confirmed.
Release date: TBA
Spider-Man: Freshman Year
Spider-Man’s impact on the MCU is not slowing down and we’ll next see the character in his very own animated series, Spider-Man: Freshman Year.
The animation follows Peter Parker in his high school years on his journey to becoming Spider-Man (prior to his appearance in Civil War).
The panel at Comic-Con revealed that many Marvel characters will be joining him on his quest, including Runaways’ Nico Minoru and Harry Osborne. He’ll also come across many iconic villains such as Norma Osborne, Doc Ock, Scorpion and Rhino. Not to mention Daredevil and Doctor Strange will be showing up as well!
The fun won’t stop there with Spider-Man: Sophomore Year also in development.
Release date: TBA
Marvel Zombies
If you liked the zombies in Marvel’s What If…? then you’ll want to tune in to Marvel Zombies.
The animated series from Marvel Studios reimagines the Marvel Universe as a new generation of heroes battle against an ever-spreading zombie scourge.
Some of the zombies we know we’ll be seeing were announced at SDCC and include Abomination, Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel. Oof, I don’t like anyone taking on those odds. Luckily a crack team of heroes including Kamala Khan, Kate Bishop and Yelena Belova is up to the task.
Release date: TBA
That’s certainly enough to keep us all busy on Disney+ over the next few years. If you’re yet to sign up for Disney+, what are you waiting for?
