X-Men '97 producer hints at show's future
17 Jul
Summary
- Show producer suggested five to six seasons would be ideal.
- Seasons have fewer episodes but are longer than the original.
- The series is renewed through season 4 and has positive reviews.
The future of the popular animated series X-Men '97 appears promising, with producer Larry Houston suggesting a target of five to six seasons. This vision contrasts with the original X-Men: The Animated Series, as the revival's seasons feature fewer episodes but are longer in duration, allowing for more compressed yet impactful storytelling.
Currently, X-Men '97 has been renewed through season 4, with season 3 already in production and scripts for season 4 being developed. The series has garnered significant acclaim, achieving a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, which influences its potential longevity. Houston believes a five-season arc would be beneficial for exploring the vast catalogue of X-Men stories developed over the past 24-25 years.
While the exact endpoint remains uncertain, with season 4 slated for a 2028 release, the creative team is reportedly discussing a potential season 5. The show's continued popularity and critical success suggest that an extended run beyond the currently greenlit seasons is a distinct possibility, pending audience reception and ongoing quality.
