While not officially announced, Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' Head of Streaming, Television and Animation, seemingly confirmed in a recent interview on the Official Marvel Podcast that the animated series What If…? will end after its third season.
Speaking about the upcoming third and potential final season, Winderbaum stated, “It feels like the completion of a trilogy. It takes us to places that you’d never expect. It goes beyond the first two seasons in its exploration of the multiverse. It pulls in characters that are very unexpected, and has what I think is an extremely moving and very fulfilling culmination for Uatu the Watcher.”
In Marvel Studios’ first-ever animated series, events from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) are reimagined in unexpected ways. Its hypothetical narrative underpinnings and mind-boggling mix of stylistic formats and techniques serve to distinguish it as a landmark production. With such a rich and infinite multiverse of topics, it is strange that Marvel would cancel the acclaimed series. Unless, of course, a trilogy format was always planned.
