X-Men "97"s Record-High Episode Count [img]http://i8.funpeer.com/xvV1qp7V74II.jpg[/img]MarvelAccording to a Disney+ press release, the first season of [i]X-Men "97[/i] consists of 10 episodes, breaking the current record for the longest Marvel Studios-produced season with a weekly release schedule.
Disney+ also recently confirmed that [i]X-Men "97[/i] will debut with two episodes when it premieres on March 20.
While the episode count for this animated revival is unprecedented, it"s unlikely to hold the record for long.
[i]Daredevil: Born Again[/i] is confirmed to have an 18-episode season when it drops in 2025, but the series will reportedly be released in two halves instead of a consistent week-by-week format.
As reported by CBR, [i]Wonder Man[/i] is also rumored to have a 10-episode season, eventually tying [i]X-Men "97[/i] for the record when it debuts.
For comparison, here are the lengths of every Marvel Studios season on Disney+ so far:
[list][*][i]WandaVision[/i] - 9 episodes[*][i]The Falcon and the Winter Soldier[/i] - 6 episodes[*][i]Loki[/i] - 6 episodes [*][i]What If...?[/i] - 9 episodes [*][i]Hawkeye[/i] - 6 episodes[*][i]Moon Knight[/i] - 6 episodes [*][i]Ms. Marvel[/i] - 6 episodes [*][i]I Am Groot[/i] - 5 episodes[*][i]She-Hulk: Attorney at Law[/i] - 9 episodes [*][i]Secret Invasion[/i] - 6 episodes[*][i]I Am Groot[/i] Season 2 - 5 episodes[*][i]Loki[/i] Season 2 - 6 episodes[*][i]What If...?[/i] Season 2 - 9 episodes[*][i]Echo[/i] - 5 episodes[/list][ Every Marvel Show Releasing In 2024[b] [/b]]
Is X-Men "97 Season 1 Actually Short?Since[i] X-Men "97[/i] is an animated series with a large ensemble cast of iconic Marvel mutants, a longer season isn"t just logical but expected.
However, the upcoming season is still short in comparison to seasons of [i]X-Men: The Animated Series[/i], only tying with the show"s fifth and final season"s episode count.
It"s also worth noting that fans don"t know how long each episode of [i]X-Men "97[/i] will be.
Marvel Studios Disney+ series have an established a trend of varying episode runtimes, but episodes of the original [i]X-Men[/i] show typically averaged 22 minutes.
If [i]X-Men "97[/i] follows suit, the series may be a Marvel Disney+ record breaker in terms of episode count, but not necessarily in length.
Fans should expect to see and hear more about Marvel Studios" first full-fledged mutant project soon.
[i]X-Men "97[/i] premieres Wednesday, March 20 on Disney+.
