The wild world of WandaVision has officially been unveiled on Disney+. Starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as newlyweds Wanda Maximoff and Vision, the series transports viewers to a different era with each episode. The first was filmed in front of a live studio audience in an homage to the ‘50s. Episode 2 shifts to the ’60s and the third episode takes place in the ’70s, complete with Brady Bunch references. Each Friday, a new spell-binding installment drops, fueling speculation about a potential second season.
“The show is like a blank slate for them,” Olsen tells ELLE.com of the lead superheroes. “Wanda and Vision’s journey to this point is a story of pure, innocent love and deep connection with another person. It was also very traumatizing. Tragedy has always been their story. In our show, we kind of wipe that clean and start fresh.” While Olsen can’t weigh in on a season 2 renewal yet, she did tease: “The reason it’s a sitcom shows itself later in the show. When Kevin [Feige] told me, it didn’t feel so bizarre. It felt like a great way to start our story.”
Ahead, everything we know about a second season from director Matt Shakman (Succession, The Great) and writer Jac Schaeffer (Captain Marvel, Black Widow), including which MCU film Olsen’s Scarlet Witch will appear in next.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige can neither confirm nor deny if there will be a second season of WandaVision.
On February 24, Feige told the Television Critics Association that some Marvel series on Disney+ are essentially guaranteed second or even third seasons, but others will lead directly into a feature film, as is the case with WandaVision. WandaVision will lead straight into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which leaves its fate as a series somewhat in limbo.
“I’ve been at Marvel too long to say a definite ‘No’ to anything as far as a second season of WandaVision,” Feige said.
He added, “The fun of the MCU is obviously all the crossover we can do between series, between films…Sometimes it will go into a season 2, sometimes it will go into a feature and back into a series.”
Feige had previously told Variety something similar. “There are some shows that have been built to further expand our storytelling and then go into features. We’ve already announced Lizzie Olsen being a part of Doctor Strange 2. We’ve announced Teyonah Parris being part of Captain Marvel 2. There are some shows that, while always interconnected, are being built with multiple seasons in mind.”
According to Olsen, a second season is not out of the question.
When asked directly about season 2 by Collider, Olsen admitted, “It could [have a second season].” Such a vague answer isn’t exactly an optimistic signpost for another chapter of WandaVision, but it’s good to know there’s always a chance.
As episodes debut, new theories about season 2 are emerging.
The first season of WandaVision has led to numerous fan theories, all of which could lead into a season 2. For instance, at the end of the third episode, Wanda gives birth to twins Billy and Tommy, prompting speculation about whether the pair will grow up to be Young Avengers Wiccan and Speed from the comics. If so, a second season could focus on the twins themselves, especially if they reveal themselves to be mutants.

It’s unclear which cast members could return.
While the show continues to air, it’s impossible to know the final fates of WandaVision‘s cast. It’s likely that Olsen and Bettany would return as the titular superheroes. In the first season, they’re joined by Parris as Monica Rambeau, Kathryn Hahn as Agnes, Kat Dennings as Dr. Darcy Lewis, and Randall Park as FBI agent Jimmy Woo. These characters would likely return if another season was given the green light.
A premiere date for WandaVision season 2 is also TBD.
As a continuation of WandaVision has yet to be confirmed, there’s no official release date. However, with the pandemic delaying productions and a litany of other Marvel titles set to debut, it’s unlikely season 2 would bow before late 2022.
