Though Marvel Animation’s Marvel Zombies wasn’t the studio’s highest-rated streaming series, the four-episode mini-event captured a massive audience. Ahead of its debut, streaming skipper Brad Winderbaum teased that while there were certainly more zombie tales to be told, viewership numbers would determine whether or not the studio would move forward.
It wasn’t long before Winderbaum confirmed that Bryan Andrews had begun development on a new batch of episodes, though he cautioned that the studio had not quite given the green light to head into production. Now, on the heels of the announcement that Marvel Television was moving ahead with a second season Wonder Man, Winderbaum has confirmed that fans will indeed get a second season of Marvel Zombies.
During an appearance on the Escape Pod Podcast, Winderbaum revealed that he had seen the first animatic for the first episode of the new season, teasing that Season 2 will deliver on “an MCU thing that has really never happened before.”
The first season was a lot of fun and included “a truly all-time great zombie apocalypse moment that sits right there with 28 Days Later and World War Z.” Given the rate at which animated series are developed and produced, it’s unclear if Season 2 of Marvel Zombies will be available on D+ in 2027, 2028 or beyond.
