X-Men ’97 fans have been counting down the Wednesdays, and the next one comes with a location that longtime viewers will recognize instantly. Episode 7 finally brings the team to a place the original ’90s cartoon visited more than once.
Season 2 kicked off with a front loaded drop, throwing the first three episodes at fans all at once on July 1. Since then, X-Men ’97 has settled into a steady weekly rhythm, with episode 4, Rise of Apocalypse Part 2, landing July 8, episode 5, Weapon X, Lies and DVDs, arriving July 15, and episode 6, Danger.Exe, dropping July 22.
X-Men ’97 Season 2 Episode 7 Release Date and Time
Episode 7, titled ‘Strange Land, Savage Heart’, premieres on Disney Plus on July 29, 2026. The episode sends the X-Men into the Savage Land, where the official description teases an unexpected reunion awaiting them there.
As for timing, the episode drops at midnight Pacific, which lands at 3 a.m. Eastern. UK fans can catch it at 8 a.m. BST. That’s the same release window the show has stuck to all season, so anyone who has been up early for previous Wednesdays already knows the drill.
The Savage Land setting alone has fans buzzing, since the location carries serious nostalgia for anyone who grew up on the original X-Men: The Animated Series. Given how season 2 has already used surprise reunions and shocking exits to keep viewers off balance, episode 7 is being treated as a potential turning point heading into the back half of the season.
The returning voice cast remains one of the show’s biggest draws, with Ray Chase and Jennifer Hale as the new voices for Cyclops and Jean Grey, replacing the late Norm Spencer and Catherine Disher. Alison Sealy-Smith, Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, and George Buza all reprising their roles from the original series. Hearing these actors slip back into characters they originated decades ago is a major reason the revival has connected so strongly with longtime fans.
Season 2 is running shorter than its predecessor, with nine episodes total compared to season 1’s ten. That means the road to the finale is getting close, with episode 8, The Dead Man’s Hand, set for August 5, and episode 9, Survival of the Fittest, closing out the season on August 12.
