They report that What If…? season 2, Echo, X-Men ’97, Agatha, Ironheart, Daredevil: Born Again, and Wonder Man were included in the list of Marvel shows receiving new, pushed-back release dates.
What If…? Season 2 — Around Christmas Day
Season 2 of What If…? has been delayed to release sometime around Christmas day. In case you’re not familiar with this series, What If…? takes viewers on a journey, exploring how various characters and storylines may have been different in other timelines. In the first season of the series, we watched some beloved heroes become zombies, T’Challa was Star-Lord, and Dr. Strange was…well — strange. There were many different “what if?” scenarios explored in the first series of the show, and we’re very excited to see what happens in season 2.

Why the Delays?
The writers’ strike started in early May, with the actors starting their strike in July. The strikes have caused a huge impact in Hollywood, with production and development of projects taking huge hits. Marvel was also touched by these strikes, resulting in the delayed releases of several shows. Marvel would like to still make each show a huge event for fans, so they decided to spread out the release of their content accordingly.
We’ll continue to keep you updated on any changes to release dates, so stay tuned!
