It looks like Marvel’s animated What If…? universe is still set to continue as official word is that a second season of Marvel Zombies is being developed.
Picking up from the What If…? season one episode, What If… Zombies?, the Marvel Zombies limited series (which was originally developed as a movie but had to be broken down because they wanted to use Spider-Man in it and the Sony deal wouldn’t allow him in a movie) featured a world ravaged by a zombie outbreak that saw almost all of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes become, well, zombies, leaving only a choice few to stand against them and try to save the world.
It wasn’t a bad watch, but overall, I think many fans, myself included, hoped for more.
Well, more we may be getting.
New standalone Wolverine movie coming? Jackman keen for more
On the latest episode of the Official Marvel Podcast, Brad Winderbaum confirmed that co-creator Bryan Andrews is “actively developing the next zombie story” for Season 2 of Marvel Zombies.
“We’re starting to talk about ideas. The little bit I’ve heard so far is incredible,” he teases.
What If…? ended after three seasons, followed by Marvel Zombies, and while both were fun in places, neither seemed to grab the fans by the throats, but, given that Winderbaum previously said the viewing figures would determine if they moved ahead with more, it seems the fans did indeed watch.
So, more Marvel Zombies. Thoughts? I know you have them and I wanna hear ’em all.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
