originally aired on FOX
X-Men: The Animated Series aired from October 31, 1992, to September 20, 1997, on Fox's Fox Kids programming block. It was Marvel Comics' second attempt at an animated television series. The show was originally planned to run for 65 episodes, but as a result of its success, Saban funded eleven more episodes, albeit with a reduced budget due to Marvel's bankruptcy. The series earned top ratings throughout its first season, and was renewed for a second season of 13 episodes. A revival of the series began airing on March 20, 2024, on Disney+ following its launch on November 12, 2019.
