Marvel’s animated Disney+ series What If…? is coming to a close with its third and final season, which all kicks off next week and delivers eight new episodes, eight days in a row.
The show is largely written by A.C. Bradley and Matthew Chauncey. Director Bryan Andrews said in a statement:
“Fans are going to love the hell out of Season 3, because we push further than we ever have. We get a little bit wilder; some episodes are really funny, some are dark, and then there’s all the adventure in between.”
Executive producer Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt added: “We took the biggest ideas yet and put them into this final season.
“Bryan Andrews and this incredible cast and crew absolutely kill it with huge stories, incredible cameos, and, best of all, we get to see a culmination of stories that we’ve seeded since the very first episode. It’s epic in a way only this show can pull off.”
