It’s become pretty clear that the future of Marvel seems to lie with more movies than TV shows, despite the fact that many Marvel TV shows have been successful with both audiences and critics alike. Sure, they all haven’t been as good as WandaVision, Moon Knight, Agatha All Along, or Loki, but without Marvel’s interest in doing TV shows, we wouldn’t have those incredible series.

Earlier this year, Wonder Man premiered on Disney+ and quickly became one of the most discussed Marvel TV shows during its season 1 run. The first season garnered critical and audience praise and gained a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Disney eventually announced a second season for the series. Well, Disney has changed its mind, and according to Variety, season 2 of Wonder Man is no longer on the table.
Yes, although Disney had renewed Wonder Man for a second season, it is now being reported that plans for a second season of Wonder Man have been scrapped. Sources have reported that the writers’ room for season 2 of the series never opened, and the writers working on the show have been released to go work on other projects.

Wonder Man stars Yahya Abdul Mateen II as Simon Williams, an actor struggling to make it in Hollywood, albeit with a secret: he has superpowers. With the help of his acting mentor, Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), he tries to navigate the world of Hollywood without giving away his secret, especially after being offered a role in a movie about Wonder Man, a superhero.

The series won over critics and audiences alike and even scored an Emmy nomination for Abdul-Mateen for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series, which made him the only live-action actor to get an Emmy nod for both Marvel and DC roles (he also starred in HBO’s Watchmen). The series also made an appearance in the Nielsen streaming top 10 chart the week it released, but it left the top 10 the following week.

However, that doesn’t mean we won’t ever see Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery again. Reportedly, some of the characters featured in the series could still appear in other Marvel projects later on down the line. For those of us who were big fans of the show, though, this cancellation is still disappointing, and it seems to show that Disney has lost interest in creating more Marvel TV shows.
