Four years after its debut, Hawkeye remains one of Marvel Studios’ strongest streaming series. The Christmas setting and dynamic between Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld‘s Hawkeyes made the street-level story a hit with fans and the finale seemed to set up a bright future for many of the show’s characters and some hope for a second season.
The creatives behind the show, including director Rhys Thomas, seemed keen on a sophomore season of the series and in May 2024, rumors popped up that the studio had ordered it up. A year later, Marvel Television’s top dog, Brad Winderbaum, confirmed that Hawkeye Season 2 was under consideration by the studio; however, despite a rumored premise that sounded pretty bad ass, no progress was made. And it doesn’t sound as though there will be.
In an interview with the direct, Hawkeye writer Andrew Guest explained that while there “was talk about” a second season of the series, “the timing didn’t work out.”
There was talk at a certain point about… we did explore creatively what Season 2 of Hawkeye might be if we were able to do it. Unfortunately, the timing didn’t work out in terms of Marvel and all the various pieces that need to come together, but I loved working on ‘Hawkeye.’ I think [Jeremy] Renner and Hailee Steinfeld are so terrific together, and I would love to see more of those two.

As has been the standard for the Multiverse Saga, one of Hawkeye‘s leads, Hailee Steinfeld, has made only one incredibly brief cameo appearance in the four years since the series hit D+. And as the Saga speeds to an end, it’s not entirely clear when she might appear again.
