Disney’sMarvel Studioshas announcednew release datesfor its upcoming television shows.
The move to shift dates comes after both theWriter’s Guild of America (WGA)andSAG-AFTRAwent on strike on May 2 and July 14 respectively.
According toThe Hollywood Reporter, the studio has decided to spread out its content over a longer period of time due to “general pullback” at the streamer and new initiative to “make each title an event for fans and audiences.”

Loki, one of Marvel’s most highly rated series on Disney+, will be one of the only two series fans can expect to drop in 2023. TheTom HiddlestonandOwen Wilson-led series will premiere on the streamer on Oct. 6.
Season two ofWhat If…?will be the second show to have a 2023 debut and will drop around Christmas Day. The show was originally expected to release in early 2023 before it was pushed.
The Emmy award-winning animated series will not be holiday-themed but will remain as an anthology series that gives Marvel diehards an alternate look into what might have happened if their favorite heroes or villains never prevailed.
