Oscar Isaac’sMoon Knightcame out in 2022 and received positive response among critics and audiences. While there were some flaws in the depiction of the superhero, fans expected to see more of the character in the MCU. Two years have since passed without any significant update about a second season of the show. The reason is most likely the creative overhaul in Marvel’s television side of things.
In a recent interview, Marvel’s Head of Television, Brad Winderbaum, shared the new focus of Marvel’s TV shows. He shared that Marvel will produce shows more like traditional TV, that would last multiple seasons and many years. However, it might be too late forMoon Knightto become part of this new change.
Marvel Television’s New Direction Might Not Be Good News For Oscar Isaac’sMoon Knight
After spending the last few years creating TV shows that directly tied into the movies, Marvel appears to have learned its lesson. During a recent interview promotingAgatha All Along, Marvel Television HeadBrad Winderbaumshared with EW that the studio is changing the way they think about TV shows. It appears to be a change that fans would wholeheartedly welcome.

Winderbaum shared that Marvel TV shows will follow the format of traditional TV and run for multiple seasons. They will create characters that last in pop culture for years. Winderbaum also shared they would produce multiple shows simultaneously.
They would follow the old format of going through multiple pilots and show bibles before deciding on the shows they would produce. Winderbaum shared withEW:
Now, we are thinking about television really more like traditional television where they could last for multiple seasons, where we can see the characters brew in the culture for hopefully many years. One thing we are doing is we’re developing a lot of shows now simultaneously.
So, in a way, we’re making television more in a traditional style where we are going to write multiple pilots and show bibles before we decide what we want to produce and actually bring to the screen, which gives us an opportunity to experiment and also to plan all sorts of different Marvel sandboxes.
While the plan seems great, it might be too late forOscar Isaac‘sMoon Knight. Fans have been waiting for a second season of the show after the six-episode Season 1 made them interested in Isaac’s character(s). However, the two-year waiting period may havekilled the hype around the character, making it difficult to follow the traditional TV pattern.
Moreover, the limited episode format ofMoon Knightis also something not typical of traditional television. The budget per episode of the first season was $24.7 million and thetotal budget was $147.9 million. Marvel will have to significantly cut down on the budget of the series to make it in line with traditional shows.
WillMoon KnightReturn For A Season 2 Amid These Changes?
Moon Knighthas a Tomatometer score of 86% and a Popcornmeter score of 89% onRotten Tomatoes. It is far better than the canceled Marvel show,She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which stood no chance in this new regime with its sitcom-style episode lengths. Moreover, the character will soon pop up in another acclaimed Marvel project.

Brad Winderbaum revealed at the recent D23 panel that Oscar Isaac would return to voice Moon Knight for an episode ofWhat If…? Season 3(via Comicbook.com). The third season of the Marvel animated show will feature an Avengers team, which will include Sam Wilson, Marc Spector, and Monica Rambeau.
It is likely that Isaac has a future at the MCU, but it may not necessarily confirm a second season forMoon Knight. All the Marvel series mentioned are now available for streaming on Disney+.
