It's been almost three years since the premiere of the Disney+ series Moon Knight. As part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the series followed Marc Spector a.k.a. Moon Knight played by Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Force Awakens). Spector has dissociative identity disorder (DID) and when his alters, particularly Stephen Grant, become wrapped up in a deadly mystery involving Egyptian gods, Marc is wrapped up along with them. Marvel Television executive Brad Winderbaum has now confirmed that after Season 1, it's unlikely there will be a second season, but that doesn't mean Marc Spector will disappear into the (k)night. He tells ComicBook:
"So I think Marvel Television has happened in waves, and I think Moon Knight happened in a wave of shows that were going to establish characters that would tie-in to the future. And moving forward our priorities have shifted. We're making shows as shows that can exist as annual releases, more like television. I would love to see a Moon Knight Season 2, but there are plans for Moon Knight down the road."
What Is Happening With Marvel Television? Close
With the winds of change, fans are already seeing a difference in Marvel's television output. Many during the pandemic had their attention captured in rapid succession with the release of WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki. Hawkeye was released in late 2021, followed up by Moon Knight in 2022. Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk followed with varying degrees of success, as well as Secret Invasion. A craze swept fans once again with the premiere of Agatha All Along last year, a sequel series to 2021's WandaVision. For seven weeks, fans walked down the Witches' Road with Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) and her coven. While a Season 2 for Moon Knight seems unlikely, Agatha All Along and Hawkeye Winderbaum hint that both could land their own sophomore seasons.
Right now, in terms of Marvel Television, all eyes are on Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, one of the few forays the MCU has made into a totally animated world. Hudson Thames provides the voice for Peter Parker a.k.a Spider-Man. Created by Jeff Trammell, the series currently sits at a well-received 97% Critic's Score and a 71% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. A season 2 for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has already been confirmed, including a look at Gwen Stacy.
The first (and likely only) season of Moon Knight is available to stream now on Disney+. Stay with Collider for the latest updates.
