She-Hulk Season 2: Everything we know
Disney+She-Hulk’s first season hints at Season 2, so here’s everything we know so far, including a cast, plot, and other details.
The final episode of Marvel‘s TV show, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, has long since premiered on Disney+ and while the series was one of the MCU’s most discoursed shows, the show has been successful enough to potentially garner a second season.
So far, What If…? and Loki have been the only Marvel Studios shows to get second seasons, so She-Hulk will potentially be one of a small few whose plotlines haven’t been fully integrated into the MCU films.
Not much is known about She-Hulk Season 2, since the season isn’t even in development yet, but there’s still some information we can dissect. So here’s everything we know so far.
She-Hulk Season 2: Is it happening?
She-Hulk will return to the MCU but then when is still unknown Unfortunately, as of now, this doesn’t seem the case – Actor Tatiana Maslany, aka She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters – has stated as such.
During a Codenames LIVE! – The New Class Twitch stream, when asked about a second season, Maslany admitted, “I don’t think so. I think we blew our budget, and Disney was like, ‘No thanks.'”
This isn’t an official Marvel answer, but we won’t be betting on a Season 2 any time soon. It wasn’t mentioned during the Phase Five and Six slate at San Diego Comic-Con, that’s for sure.
During an appearance on Deadline’s Hero Nation podcast, the writer of She-Hulk, Jessica Gao, explained how she didn’t really write She-Hulk with a second season in mind: “Coming from television, you can never guarantee that you’re going to get another season with a first season show.
“So it’s kind of been trained into my head that, on a first-season show, you really have to tell a complete story that you’d be satisfied with if this is only a one-and-done.
“You can’t really hold back and just leave things open-ended. You do have to tell some sort of satisfying arc in one season just in case, and then of course you leave the door open for possibilities for a second, third, and fourth season. So that was kind of my mental approach to it.”
If a second season were to happen, it would likely depend on the dates when other Marvel properties come out, as her story will likely be integrated into the wider MCU plot as a whole. For example, if she joins the Avengers, she’ll likely be involved in that before she gets a Season 2.

She-Hulk Season 2 cast: Who is starring in the new season?
Currently, there is no official cast list for She-Hulk Season 2.
While cast members could change in the future, it seems certain that Tatiana Maslany would return for the role of She-Hulk herself. Marvel does have a way of contractually binding its actors into multiple projects.
As for other characters, ones we can expect – but can’t confirm – should there be a second season include:
- Ginger Gonzaga as Nikki Ramos
- Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, AKA The Hulk
- Josh Segarra as Augustus Pugliese
- Renée Elise Goldsberry as Mallory Book
- Jameela Jamil as Titania
- Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky, AKA The Abomination
- Benedict Wong as Wong
- Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, AKA Daredevil
- Patty Guggenheim as Madisynn King
- Griffin Matthews as Luke Jacobson
- Rhys Coiro as Donny Blaze
As for new characters and cameos, She-Hulk director Kat Coiro told The Direct about future possibilities: “I mean, what’s so exciting to me is you have this premise of [a] superhuman law firm that kind of lends itself to infinite possibilities.
“You could literally have any character who has ever existed in the MCU or who will ever exist pass through these doors, and it wouldn’t feel like a gratuitous cameo. It would feel completely organic.
“The sky’s the limit in terms of what they can do with this moving forward.”

She-Hulk Season 2 plot: What will happen in the new season?
As of right now, there is no official plot for She-Hulk Season 2, as Season 2 is yet to be confirmed.
If Season 2 does happen, it will seemingly continue the plot of Season 1 since She-Hulk is more of an episodic affair – akin to a sitcom – rather than focusing on a single story.
During a recent interview with ComicBook, She-Hulk producer Wendy Jacobson revealed she would like to see a more street-level approach if Jen Walters’ story continues.
“What I love about She-Hulk is being in this character’s everyday life. It’s a woman in her thirties trying to navigate her life, her career, and her friendships, and oh, she just happens to also be able to turn into a Hulk. So, I think I would love to explore more of that.”
However, Jacobson later added that she’d like to see the character’s grounded elements paired with the MCU’s larger wackiness.
“There’s also a run in the comics where she goes into space and she’s adjudicating cases for the Living Tribunal. So, I either want to be super, super grounded in L.A. or I want to take her out into the multiverse, or into the universe.”
