LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Get ready to blast the classic theme song because 'X-Men '97' is back to inject some nostalgic comic book excitement into our lives.

Continuing from where the beloved Saturday morning cartoon left off, the series follows a team led by Cyclops as they forge ahead into new adventures after the loss of their mentor, Professor X.

The original voice actors return for this revival, joined by a fresh lineup that includes Ross Marquand, taking on the role of Charles Xavier (after portraying Red Skull and Ultron in the MCU).

The original show was renowned for its faithful and intense adaptations of beloved storylines from the comics. Fans are eager for this continuation to capture that same magic. 

We've kicked off with a double dose of excitement with the first two episodes premiering together on Disney+.

But when can we expect Episode 3 and the subsequent episodes to be released? Here's a release schedule that will answer all your questions.
