X-Men 97 Show Release Date Window & Episode Count Revealed

The X-Men '97 producers have revealed the show's release date window and that the new season will consist of 10 episodes. The original series, X-Men, also known as X-Men: The Animated Series, ran from 1992 to 1997, consisting of 5 seasons and 76 episodes. The show was meant to be only 13 episodes, but the love of the show and its heroic characters helped the show maintain its place on the Fox Kids Network.

X-Men: The Animated Series followed the adventures of Professor X's mutant students as they fought against famous foes, like Magneto, to save the world. The series was praised for its portrayal of multiple storylines from the comic book series. The success of X-Men: The Animated Series helped pave the road for other comic book shows in the 1990s as its viewership reached over 23 million households. Due to the animated show's expansive fandom, talks of a revival began back in 2019 with Disney+. In November 2021, Disney announced that the revival would be called X-Men '97.

Now, LRM Online reports the producers of X-Men '97, Eric and Julia Lewald, revealed an episode count and a release date window for the upcoming show. According to the duo, who were also creators behind the original animated series, the first season will include ten episodes. The planned release date will fall somewhere within the Summer of 2023. Eric Lewald explained that the plan for the revival is to act as an extension of X-Men: The Animated Series, continuing with some of the plots from the animated show. The series will also have most of the surviving cast members return to reprise their roles.

Despite the plan of continuing where the animated series left off, Eric Lewald explained that whoever takes on the show will still make it their own. He assured that everyone involved has love and affection for the show, especially Beau DeMayo, who will be the showrunner. The revival series will be produced by Marvel Studios but is not planned to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It will be a stand-alone series.

Starting X-Men '97 off with ten episodes allows showrunners to explore the direction they want to take the show, whether following comic book storylines the original series didn't get to showcase or create their own. Picking up where the original story left off will help bring in the old fans of the X-Men: The Animated Series from a curiosity of where Professor X went after the last episode and other unanswered questions. It also presents the opportunity of bringing in new fans with new plots and storylines. If X-Men '97 can gain the popularity the 1997 series has, there is no telling the possibilities of where the show can go.
