"Wonder Man" Not Returning for Season 2 at Disney+

Wonder Man has been canceled at Disney+. The news comes despite the fact that Disney announced a Season 2 renewal for the show back in March, roughly two months after it debuted. A writers' room for Season 2 was never opened and the show's writers have been released to pursue other projects.

Wonder Man debuted to strong critical acclaim upon its premiere, with the first season holding a 91% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Disney did not release any viewership data for the show, though it did make a single appearance in the Nielsen streaming top 10 charts the week of its release. The show managed to crack the number eight position on the streaming top 10 originals chart for the week of Jan. 26-Feb. 1, but fell off the chart the following week.

While Wonder Man is not proceeding with Season 2, the characters featured in the series could still appear in other Marvel projects in the future.

The renewal for Wonder Man was an anomaly for Marvel, as virtually all of the live-action series they have launched on Disney+ have been single seasons.
