Season 2 Story and Production
The upcoming season finds the X-Men divided and scattered across different time periods as they attempt to find their way home.

The series features a returning voice cast including Cal Dodd as Wolverine and Lenore Zann as Rogue.
Executive producer Brad Winderbaum leads the production team alongside Julia Lewald, Eric Lewald, Larry Houston, and supervising producer Jake Castorena. The writing team for the new episodes includes JB Ballard, Beau DeMayo, Bailey Moore, Antony Sellitti, Brian Ford Sullivan, and Mariah Wilson.
