It is a continuation, not a reboot — and the two-parters matter

X-Men ’97 picks up directly from X-Men: The Animated Series, which ran from 1992 to 1997. It opens a year after that show’s finale and assumes you know roughly what happened to Charles Xavier. You do not have to rewatch 76 episodes of the original first, but the first ten minutes will make more sense if you know he left.

The episode numbering above is worth a look before you start. Several instalments are multi-part stories released weekly: season 1 ends with Tolerance Is Extinction across three episodes, and season 2 opens with Days of Past Future, A Force to Be Reckoned With and the first part of Rise of Apocalypse all released on July 1, 2026. Nineteen episodes exist in total — ten in season 1 and nine in season 2.

Both seasons are on Disney+; Disney+’s own series page lists the show as 2024-2026 and carries them together. At around half an hour an episode that is roughly ten hours of television, which makes it one of the shortest catch-ups Marvel currently has — and part of why it tops our ranking of the best Marvel TV shows. We also covered what season 2 does with Apocalypse and the New Mutants.
