Marvel Zombies only hit Disney+ two days ago, and fans already want more.
The four-part series, which takes place “after the Avengers are overtaken by a zombie plague,” features a star-studded voice cast, including Elizabeth Olsen, Florence Pugh, Iman Vellani, Simu Liu, David Harbour, and Paul Rudd. Marvel Zombies centers on “a desperate group of survivors” who must save the world from further zombie takeover.
DECIDER contributor Maddy Casale wrote in our Marvel Zombies review that the series “was made specifically for” fans of the MCU and the “zombie apocalypse genre.” However, she noted that Marvel Zombies “isn’t the most accessible title” for those outside of its target audience.
Wondering whether if there will be a Marvel Zombies Season 2? How many episodes of Marvel Zombies will there be on Disney+? Here is what we know.
There are currently four episodes of Marvel Zombies streaming on Disney+, each of which range from 32-38 minutes in length. A second season of Marvel Zombies has not been officially greenlit, but the show’s creative team told ComicBook.com that they have a blueprint for a Season 2 and are ready to make it happen once they get the all clear.
“Please, like, people have got to subscribe to Disney+ and watch this show,” Marvel Studios’ Head of Streaming, Television, and Animation Brad Winderbaum told the outlet. “If that happens, they will get more. And we are excited. We’re ready.”
Series director Bryan Andrews told Variety that there is “so much material” that they can work with if a second season is a go, and teased, “You guys have no idea the insanity that’s just waiting around the corner if we get a chance.”
Following a battle in which the Scarlet Witch (Olsen) attempts to convince Kamala Khan (Vellani) to join forces, Kamala wakes up at home in New Jersey at the end of Marvel Zombies Episode 4, per IGN. However, according to the outlet, what initially seems to be normal turns out to be another altered reality at the hands of the Scarlet Witch, in which zombies still roam.
Andrews addressed the “bleakness” of the ending while speaking with ScreenRant, Andrews said that they “always knew it was going to be this way.”
“The question was how much to show at the end of the bleakness,” he explained. “At first, we had a version that was really subtle, but when we were putting it up on reels and getting editor feedback, they said, ‘Hey, maybe go for it a little bit more, so people feel more of a gut punch.’ I was totally cool with that, but I was very protective of not making it feel too overdone or too cliffhanger-y. I think we found the perfect balance.”
