What If…? is the Marvel series that asks unexpected questions of the MCU heroes. So when is is Season 2 out?

What If…? Season 1 dropped in 2021, as part of the MCU’s Phase 4. The series threw a spotlight on alternate realities and timelines, as part of Marvel’s multiverse.

Now the show returns for Season 2, which features episodes about Nebula, Peter Quill, Happy Hogan, Tony Stark, Peggy Carter, Kahhori, and Hela across its nine episodes.

So to find out when and in what order those episodes are dropping, read on…

How many episodes are there in What If…? Season 2?

There are nine episodes in What If…? Season 2 and they will be released in a very unique way.

What If…? Season 2 will be releasing a new episode every day for nine days straight, which will conclude before the new year.

This is quite the departure for Marvel Studios. They usually release their shows on a weekly basis like WandaVision and Loki, or all at once like they’re doing with their upcoming Hawkeye spin-off series Echo.

Each episode will follow an alternate timeline, like in Season 1, and will be introduced and concluded by the Watcher, a member of an alien species of the same name who observes the multiverse and never interferes with the events within it.

You can check out the full episode list below:

  • “What If… Nebula Joined the Nova Corps?”
  • “What If… Peter Quill Attacked Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?”
  • “What If… Happy Hogan Saved Christmas?”
  • “What If… Iron Man Crashed Into the Grandmaster?”
  • “What If… Captain Carter Fought the Hydra Stomper?”
  • “What If… Kahhori Reshaped the World?”
  • “What If… Hela Found the Ten Rings?”
  • “What If… Strange Supreme Intervened?”
