Disney+ cancels the Marvel series “Wonder Man” after one season, ending a previously announced plan for a second season. Multiple outlets report that the streamer un-renewed the show, despite Disney having announced a Season 2 renewal in March, shortly after the series premiered.
“Wonder Man” released all eight episodes of Season 1 on January 27. Deadline reports Nielsen data showing the show generated 618 million minutes viewed in its opening week and ranked No. 8 among streaming titles during that period. Variety and other outlets say the cancellation follows the rescinded pickup, with Variety citing sources that a writers’ room for Season 2 was never opened and that the show’s writers were released.
No single outlet reports the definitive reason for the change. Across the coverage, the central points are that Disney+ reverses its Season 2 renewal, leaving the series without a return and concluding its run with Season 1.
