## Synopsis

X-Men '97 (2024-present) is an American animated superhero sequel series created for Disney+ and built on the Marvel tradition. It revives the 1990s animated X-Men team in a continuing story where mutants who use their uncanny gifts to protect a world that hates and fears them are challenged like never before. The engine of the series is the team's struggle to hold together while facing a dangerous and unexpected new future, with threats that force old allies and rivals into uneasy alliances. Each episode moves a long-running arc forward through action set pieces, character confrontations and quieter moments of loyalty and doubt. The show is a two-season serialized run, with nineteen episodes so far, and it carries the bright, nostalgic energy of its predecessor alongside a more mature, tense register. The setting is a present-day-coded superhero world where prejudice against mutants shapes every decision. Fans of X-Men: The Animated Series, Batman: The Animated Series and What If...? will find resonance in its blend of colorful action, team dynamics and sincere emotional stakes.
