- Disney+ has renewed its Marvel series Wonder Man for a second season, a decision that has surprised many viewers.
- The comedy show, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley, follows a struggling actor and his unlikely friendship with British thespian Trevor 'The Mandarin' Slattery.
- Despite being acclaimed by viewers for its unique satirical tone, Wonder Man recorded lower viewership figures compared to other Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) series.
- The renewal is considered a 'miracle' by fans, as very few MCU shows, apart from Loki and Daredevil: Born Again, have received follow-up seasons.
- Both Abdul-Mateen II and Kingsley are confirmed to return, with Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton and sitcom writer Andrew Guest set to helm the new episodes.
