Premiering in 2021, this iconic show is an animated anthology series that reimagines iconic Marvel Cinematic Universe events in vastly new ways.

While discussing the final season on the Official Marvel Podcast, Marvel Studios head of streaming Brad Winderbaum teased that Season 3 will feel like the “completion of a trilogy.”
In an exclusive for Variety, Winderbaum states the following: “It takes us to places that you’d never expect. It goes beyond the first two seasons in its exploration of the multiverse". In addition, he says "“It pulls in characters that are very unexpected, and has what I think is an extremely moving and very fulfilling culmination for Uatu the Watcher.” This season promises to be the most ambitious yet, exploring even wilder alternate realities within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and with a daily episode release, fans can look forward to a thrilling conclusion to this groundbreaking animated series that alongside Loki, is now a Marvel's definitive go-to.
