Marvel Studios has been rethinking its approach towards its TV shows, focusing more on quality than quantity. Even so, it’s still interesting in doubling down on its most successful shows, specifically, Miss Marvel and Moon Knight.
Marvel has been shaking things up as the studio has reportedly gone back to the drawing board with Daredevil: Born Again. With half of the planned two seasons already filmed, the show isn’t fitting into the MCU. Kevin Feige and Marvel executives took time during the writers’ strike to review footage from the show and decided to hit the reset button.
As a result, writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman were quietly let go. The TV series has a new creative team with The Punisher’s Dario Scardapane serving as showrunner while Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead from Loki Season 2 will serve as directors. Marvel is also revamping the process and will be delivering a mix of standalone small-screen stories and multiple seasons similar to traditional TV shows.

With the ongoing revamp, Marvel insider Daniel Richtman shared new information about previous MCU shows that are being lined up to get second seasons. According to the insider, Marvel is talking about a potential second season for Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight. There are also rumors that She-Hulk: Attorney at Law may also be returning to Disney+ for a sophomore outing.
Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan had a recent appearance as part of The Marvels. The movie was a complete disaster for Marvel Studios, grossing just $187 million against a reported budget of $270 million. Despite the mishap, Ms. Marvel is still one of the most popular shows on Disney+.
Moon Knight ended its first season on a major cliffhanger with Marc Spector and Steven Grant managing to release themselves from the influence of Khonshu. However, during the mid-credits scene, it is revealed that Jake Lockley, Spector’s third persona, is still serving the Moon God. The ending leaves the possibility of Spector trying to rid himself of Khonshu once again in the second season.
Oscar Isaac confirmed in October that he has begun talks with Marvel to reprise the role of Moon Knight. The actor didn’t reveal if the discussions were for a second season or another project within the MCU. Feige previously teased the possibility of Moon Knight crossing over to MCU films.
A second season for successful TV shows would be the best move for Marvel after the recent failures of Secret Invasion on Disney+. We just hope that the studio sticks to the same formula that made Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight successful during their first seasons. It should be interesting to see how Marvel continues the stories of Ms. Marvel and Moon Knight and how the TV shows tie into the greater MCU narrative moving forward.
