The critically-acclaimed Disney+ show, whose debut chapter was released in late January, will get another runout after the comic book giant officially confirmed that it had ordered another installment. Marvel revealed the news yesterday evening (March 23) on its social media channels. Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery will return for Marvel Television's #WonderMan Season 2, co-created by Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest, coming to @DisneyPlus. pic.twitter.com/XnOBYrYHaA March 23, 2026 As the above X/Twitter post
attests, co-creators Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest will return to helm the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ) TV series' second season. Lead stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley, who play Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery, will reprise their respective roles, too.

With its renewal, Wonder Man is just the third live-action Marvel TV show to get a second season. Prior to this announcement, Loki and Daredevil: Born Again were the only examples of Marvel keeping faith with its small-screen projects. The multiversal program What If...? was another of the comic
titan's multi-season shows, but doesn't meet the aforementioned criteria as
it was an animated production.

For those unaware: Wonder Man follows Williams, an actor struggling to make
it in Hollywood. However, a seemingly chance encounter with Slattery sees Williams learn that a remake of his favorite childhood movie 'Wonder Man'
is not only in development, but holding auditions for its lead role. Cue Williams stopping at nothing to achieve his life-long dream of playing the film's titular character. Well, as long as he can keep his biggest secret under wraps.

Wonder Man deserves a second season Wonder Man deserves another season for
two big reasons (Image credit: Marvel Studios/Disney+) I really enjoyed
Wonder Man when it launched on Disney+, aka one of the best streaming
services , earlier this year. Indeed, in my Wonder Man review , I gave it
four out of five stars and said "the new Marvel TV show deserves a standing ovation for breaking the MCU mould". Add in the fact that it was met with similarly positive reviews from other critics and general viewers alike, and it's certainly earned another season.

Those aren't the only reasons why it deserves one, though. Its open-ended finale notwithstanding find out more in my Wonder Man ending explained piece

Full spoilers immediately follow for Wonder Man . If you haven't watched it yet, turn back now. Wonder Man's sophomore season has the chance to address its biggest lingering mystery (Image credit: Marvel Studios/Disney+) Early on in Wonder Man , we learn that Williams possesses superpowers. These manifest anytime Williams experiences negative emotions, which isn't great for someone who a) struggles to deal with setbacks in his career and b) wants to make it in an industry that forbids anyone with superhuman abilities to work in it.

Despite learning plenty about Williams' backstory and Hollywood's ban on superpowered individuals, though, we never actually discover how Williams got his abilities. Speaking in an exclusive chat with me prior to the show's launch, co-creator Andrew Guest also explained why he "didn't feel the need" to address Wonder Man 's biggest mystery comments that, until the show's renewal, meant we'd never learn of his superhuman origins.

However, with Wonder Man now set to return at an unspecified date, Guest and Cretton have the opportunity to give us the answer we desperately crave. Will they opt for something that closely resembles Williams' origins story in the comics? Or will they make a major detour from the source material and, like the MCU's take on Ms. Marvel, reveal that Williams is a mutant?

The latter option is something Marvel fans have theorized about since Wonder Man ended, so maybe this is the path Guest and Cretton will walk. I guess we'll find out once Wonder Man season 2 finally comes out.
