Marvel Comics will release a five-issue prequel comic, X-Men '97: Season Two, on June 3, 2026, bridging the gap between seasons of the animated series. Written by Steve Foxe and illustrated by Salva Espin, it continues the story after Season 1’s cliffhanger, focusing on Forge’s efforts to rebuild the X-Men with remaining mutants. The comic expands on key plot points, introduces new characters and teams, and is developed in collaboration with the show’s creators to ensure continuity. While the animated series’ premiere date remains unannounced, the comic’s release suggests a summer 2026 debut. The series has already been renewed for a third season, with voice actor Anna Akana confirming production is underway.
