Telly’s Take
Unless they decide to publicize viewership, it is difficult to predict whether Disney+ will cancel or renew What If…? for season two. Since Disney+ isn’t ad-supported, it can take a chance on series it believes in and stories that need telling, but sooner or later it comes down to production costs, versus viewership numbers. Given that this is an animated series and it also ties into the MCU, I think that it will be renewed. I’ll keep my ears open and an eye out for news, and will update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on What If…? cancellation or renewal news.
