The first reviews for the upcoming second season of X-Men '97 have arrived, giving the Marvel animated series a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics praise its emotional depth, action sequences, and exploration of the Apocalypse storyline. The season is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on July 1.
TVLine described the new season as on par with the quality of the first, calling it an emotional, action-packed exploration of an iconic Marvel villain. The review highlighted three timelines spanning thousands of years and the addition of characters including Siryn, Wolfsbane, Havok, and Polaris.
Four episodes were made available for review, each featuring goosebump-inducing moments alongside character-driven drama focused on Jean, Scott, and Magneto. The series is noted for balancing high stakes with personal crises without much comic relief.
Rotten Tomatoes reported a 100 percent Fresh rating based on 12 reviews shortly after the first notices appeared. The site linked directly to its Tomatometer page for the season.
Viewers are advised to revisit the first season or watch recap videos before the July premiere due to the dense storytelling.
