According to a report from What's On Disney Plus, Marvel Studios has officially announced that the highly anticipated second season of What If...? will be available for streaming on Disney+ during the upcoming holiday season. However, the specific release date for the new season has not been finalized at this time.

The Watcher continues the journey as our guide through the vast multiverse, introducing brand-new and familiar faces throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The animated anthology series questions, revisits, and twists classic Marvel Cinematic moments with an incredible voice cast that includes a host of stars who reprise their iconic roles.

I'm looking forward to this. I like to see what they thought up.

I wonder if they didn't announce this to give us a holiday surprise, or if they were seeing where the strikes shook out? Either way I am both looking forward to this and hoping they chill with the What if figures.

I think  their best and brightest was the Captain America/Britain/Carter episode. I'd love it if they circled back to it, hit a WWII theme....introduce some other WWII characters. Maybe, just maybe, we can get some Golden Age figures from the Legends team then.

I'm looking forward to see what the stories are now and whether or not there'll be a continuation of the episodes that ended on cliffhangers last season. The release taking place during the holiday season is kinda exciting as well.

Meh. The first season was hit and miss at best. There were some good things. There were some bad things. But mostly it was just whatever. Not a total waste of lifespace but had I watched literally anything else it would have been pretty much the same. The best thing this show does is explore those little strange places of the multiverse which is becoming evermore prevalent so that we don't have to see it on the big screen. The worst thing it does is create a lot of weird niche junk for Legends and takes up space and resources that could be better utilized. Silver lining maybe we get a little more Zombie product to use with the Giant Man.

This is good news, I honestly had a good time watching the first season, it's just an entertaining adventure, I think it's good stuff, Even as a kid I loved reading What If books so naturally the show felt the same, just some stories that don't really have much consequence in the end.

I wonder if they're gonna branch out to the comics instead of just the MCU for their WHAT IF...? fodder.  Its a deeper bench to pull from.

Bet not, I get the vibe that most of whatever Marvel Studios is doing as of late...I mean ever, doesn't wanna hang around the comic isles, they like the sandbox they are playing in.

would be nice though, would actually be ideal if the folks at marvel studios would read some of those what if comics and just translate them to the screen, but alas I'm sure Johnny make-a-thing, well he never read no camic boks.

I doubt it. They probably don't want to confuse the viewers with some alternate comic story they probably never read.

That trailer was actually really awesome, I'm really excited for this, just some good fun Marvel stuff. New Episodes each day also is some cool news.

As an animator, my eyes are poison..........so the animation in this continues to be dismaying for me.  They can do the CGI  body animation, and the effects just fine, but they cannot seem to animate lip-synch for dialogue worth beans.  The layperson won't notice it, but my eyes go right to it and it kills it for me.  😞
