Marvel Television used its New York Comic Con panel to announce a slate of new projects. A live-action 'Zodiac' series is set for 2028, alongside three 'Marvel Zombies' Halloween specials beginning next year: 'Marvel Zombies,' followed in 2027 by 'Marvel Zombies: The Winter Soldier,' 'The Fist of Khonshu' and 'The Last Gun.' Animated series also got release dates: 'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man' Season 2 debuts January 13, 2027, and 'X-Men '97' has been renewed for Season 3 with a teaser revealed. Additionally, the first episode of 'VisionQuest' was surprise-screened ahead of its October 14 Disney+ premiere, earning largely positive early reactions calling it a worthy successor to 'WandaVision.'

Why it matters：Marvel's sprawling multi-year slate — spanning live-action, animation, and specials across several release years — shows how Disney is betting on franchise depth and convention-driven fan engagement to sustain subscriber growth and cultural relevance for Disney+.
