When Are Marvel’s Disney Plus Shows Coming out? All Mcu Series Release Dates and Windows, Explained

Things used to be so simple when it came to MCU releases. Marvel Studios told us when a movie was coming out, we’d eagerly count down the months and weeks until it dropped and then — bamf! — there it was, right on time. The Multiverse Saga has been beset by constant scheduling difficulties since the beginning, however – although due to little fault of its own. First, the pandemic threw a wrench into the franchise’s entire slate at the start of the decade and then further issues were caused by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

It’s Marvel’s TV side that is particularly having a hard time of it of late, as the studio’s entire roster of upcoming streaming projects was recently shuffled backward, with some shows getting off lightly with a delay of a mere couple of months while others have been ripped from the schedules entirely, leaving a significant hold-up of at least a full year very likely. With so much change going on in Marvel’s Phase Five line-up, it’s hard to keep track of what’s coming out where.

Thanks to some preregistrations filed with the US Copyright Office, though, Marvel has provided some approximate release dates and windows for all but one of its upcoming slate of officially announced MCU series that, following the conclusion of Loki season 2, are on their way to Disney Plus. Even if they’re taking the scenic — rather than the fastest — route to streaming.

What If…? season 2 — Christmas 2023

Marvel’s original plan for What If..? was to share a new season of the animated anthology series every year, but that’s already a bust thanks to the show skipping 2022. However, it seems the studio is dead-set on not missing out on 2023 too as the latest batch of glimpses into other universes is believed to premiere sometime around this Christmas Day. So, although a firm release date has yet to be given, we can likely expect things to kick off in late December.

Echo — Jan. 10, 2024 (approx.)

Echo‘s delay might sound like bad news, but it may just be for the best. Originally pegged for a mid-2023 due date, Echo was ultimately squeezed into a Nov. 29 release, with all five episodes set to drop in one go – a first for a Marvel Disney Plus series. As this had a whiff of Marvel being keen to sweep the Hawkeye spinoff under the rug in the shadow of The Marvels, it’s surely only for the best that it’s now set to arrive in January 2024, although it’s unclear if it’ll earn a weekly schedule again.
