All through the Multiverse Saga, the MCU’s growth into TV sequence has added a ton of texture and plenty of new heroes into the franchise. Reveals like WandaVision, Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, and Ironheart have made some dangerous inventive selections. The flexibility to inform prolonged tales on Disney+ has allowed the MCU to go locations it in all probability by no means would have if it had been restricted strictly to the large display screen. And the initiatives popping out of its animated division have managed to push the boundaries of the multiverse even additional.
Marvel Studios Animation has seemingly targeted virtually solely on telling multiversal tales. Reveals like What If…?, Marvel Zombies, Your Pleasant Neighborhood Spider-Man, and naturally, X-Males ‘97 all happen exterior of the right MCU aka Earth-616. As such, they provide the MCU a spot to proceed exploring the multiverse past the conclusion of the Multiverse Saga with 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars. But, just one Marvel Studios Animation undertaking appears like will probably be left behind.
Eyes of Wakanda Paradoxically Might Be One of many Solely Marvel Animated One-Offs
Of all of the animated exhibits introduced into the MCU in recent times, solely Eyes of Wakanda is definitely set on Earth-616. As a part of the Sacred Timeline, the present — which jumps all through time to observe Wakandan Battle Canines on secret missions to retrieve vibranium artifacts — units itself as much as broaden the mythology of Wakanda for a lot of seasons to come back. But, regardless of a constructive response from followers, Eyes of Wakanda Season 2 is wanting fairly unlikely.
The explanation isn’t essentially due to a scarcity of curiosity at Marvel although. As reported by Forbes, Axis Studios, the Scottish animation home that produced the distinct visible fashion featured in Eyes of Wakanda entered administration — the UK equal of submitting for chapter — in July 2024 after it turned unable to make payroll the earlier month. Manufacturing of the four-episode first season of Eyes of Wakanda had already concluded, and the present debuted on Disney+ in August 2025.
After 2018’s Black Panther, Wakanda appeared poised for a serious presence all through the MCU. However following star Chadwick Boseman’s tragic loss of life in 2020, Wakanda hasn’t been almost as distinguished as followers may need anticipated. Members of the Dora Milaje appeared in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and director Ryan Coogler returned for 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Perpetually, which superbly incorporates Boseman’s passing. However since then, there have been treasured few moments of Wakandan heroes on display screen. Eyes of Wakanda clearly meant to vary that.
Might Marvel Carry Eyes of Wakanda Again With a New Studio?
Axis Studios’ cash-flow challenges appear to have stalled the manufacturing of extra episodes of Eyes of Wakanda. Nonetheless, it’s potential Marvel may flip to a different manufacturing home to proceed the present. In any case, as showrunner Todd Harris instructed SFX (through FandomWire), “There are at all times extra tales… We positively have extra within the tank. And it’s Marvel. There’s at all times extra.” The present’s anthology-style premise creates a straightforward canvas to constantly discover Wakandan historical past and even, within the case of at the least one episode, rewrite historical past to tie into the MCU.
As of now, Eyes of Wakanda is the one main Marvel Studios Animation undertaking with just one season. Your Pleasant Neighborhood Spider-Man and Marvel Zombies presently have second seasons on the best way. However given the additional obstacles of bringing Eyes of Wakanda again, it’s extra probably that Marvel will let it stay a standalone. With the Mutant Saga proper across the nook and Marvel Studios intent on redefining its TV technique, it would simply wind up being collateral injury throughout one more pivotal juncture for the MCU.
In fact, followers haven’t seen the final of Wakanda. Coogler’s Black Panther 3 — with David Jonsson and Denzel Washington becoming a member of the franchise — is about for a December 2028 launch date. And there’s at all times the possibility that Marvel Studios launches one other Wakanda-centric undertaking to tie into that movie. One other TV sequence or perhaps a Particular Presentation may assist bridge the hole between the second and third Black Panther movies, particularly for the reason that new one is closely rumored to incorporate Storm in a key position. Right here’s hoping followers return to Wakanda sooner relatively than later.
Eyes of Wakanda is now streaming on Disney+.
