We already knew Marvel Television was shifting to a extra conventional mannequin of multi-season reveals with conventional showrunners, however some reveals – like Eyes of Wakanda – nonetheless felt like mini occasions that had been extra self-contained. And with Marvel’s additional adoption of one-off specials like The Punisher: One Last Kill and Marvel Zombies as continuations of bigger sequence, there’s clearly nonetheless some flexibility within the method. But now one of these one-offs has been confirmed as something however.
Winterbaum has now confirmed that Marvel Zombies is returning for Season 2, with manufacturing already underway, regardless of there being no actual rumors of the present’s renewal. Winterbaum confirmed Marvel Zombies Season 2 in a podcast look on The Escape Pod, saying he’s seen the primary animatic for the primary episode and guarantees that it delivers on each the zombie premise and an thrilling, unprecedented MCU ingredient. Here’s what he stated:

How Marvel Zombies Set Up Season 2
Not everybody might have been assured that Marvel Zombies Season 2 would occur – particularly with affordable however not spectacular evaluate scores – however the present did finish on a cliffhanger, so the seeds had been already sewn again in 2025. After a zombified Wanda Maximoff – the newly-crowned Queen of the Dead – took down the surviving heroes, together with the Infinity Hulk, she proclaimed her victory with a mysterious “So the world begins again” after convincing Ms Marvel to assist her win. Ms. Marvel then awoke in a seemingly healed world – in actuality an phantasm trapped Kamala – earlier than Riri Williams (who all of us believed was killed in episode 1) revealed she was alive and known as Kamala again to “reality”.
Winterbaum stated on the time that he had at all times foreseen Marvel Zombies ending unhappily (“point to the zombie movie that has a happy ending”), so it’s important to query whether or not a second season can actually undo that ending? In an interview with IGN again in September 2025, Winterbaum really hinted at a bigger scale Season 2 than one which simply centered on the end result of the cliffhanger:

But frankly, that depends on people subscribing to Disney+ and watching the series. In success… the next day we’ll start working on it. So hopefully people love it as much as we do and they watch it.”
Could this imply extra survivors than we’ve already met? There can’t be many heroes or villains nonetheless unexplored after the quantity of deaths in What If…? and Marvel Zombies itself, certainly? But then there are all of the races exterior of Earth, who could be introduced into play if the Nova Corps’ quarantine of Earth fails. In the comics, the zombie virus spreads so far as Galactus, so there’s positively extra – and larger – tales to inform…
