Alongside the sharp direction from Mohamed Diab, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, Moon Knight stands out as one of the stronger MCU Disney+ shows. Depicting versatile actor Oscar Isaac in a fascinating dual-personality role juggling between two worlds of Marc Spector and Steven Grant, this series pulled the viewer’s heartstrings in six episodes. However, this compelling adventure has not been continued despite its massive success and eight Emmy nominations.
But fans who have grown attached to the Khonshu avatar are not willing to let go just yet. They are fervently calling for the renewal of the show, especially after witnessing Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye getting renewed for another season. It seems Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios may need to reconsider his decision regarding the show after seeing this.
MCU fans demand the return of Moon Knight
Reputable Scooper MyTimeToShineHello recently dropped updates regarding Hawkeye Season 2 on X (formerly known as Twitter). The post claimed that the second installment has been ordered for Disney Plus meaning fans will once again see Renner’s Clint Barton and Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop team up for a new adventure.

I know what Iger said about only releasing 2 live action shows per year but I hope that's going to start applying in 2026 because I want Moon Knight S2 to be released next year, I hope they've been working on the scripts, because otherwise it's gonna be 4+ years after S1

Seeing the way people have gone overboard to
Moon Knight director discussed the potential for a season 2
In October 2023, Moon Knight‘s director and executive producer Mohamed Diab touched on the topic of the show’s renewal with Arabic Marvel. In this interview, he revealed that the MCU never had a plan to make another season. From the beginning, they planned it to be a limited six-episode series.
Marvel had determined it from the first day. Marvel’s series projects are all six episodes except for special projects like ‘WandaVision.’ The usual format is six episodes. ‘Loki’ is the only series they said will be in two parts from the first day.
As for whether or not Moon Knight‘s success could have been attributed to a potential second season, it sounds like that was never on the cards for Marvel, as Diab adds that they don’t operate like other networks by renewing based on success but that it’s always about the plan they have in place.
So it seems that the show’s success had nothing to do with the renewal and it was simply never in the card. According to Diab, Marvel’s approach to renewals differs from other networks, as they base their decisions on their existing plans rather than just the show’s success.
Marvel’s way is not the usual way where if the project succeeds, I say let’s renew it for a second season. It’s their plan, successful or not, they have a plan.
While fans wish to watch Isaac in his superhero costume again, the MCU seems to follow the TV series format that they established 15 years ago. Thus, only time will tell if the creators make an exception for viewers who want to get on more adventure mysteries involving Egyptian gods.
Moon Knight is now streaming in its entirety on Disney+.
