Werewolf by Night is getting a sequel — or at least, someone wants it to. Brad Winderbaum, Marvel TV’s head honcho, just dropped the kind of tease that fans have been begging for: he wants a second chapter, and he’s not hiding it. 'I really want to make a Werewolf by Night Season 2 or Part Two,' he told ComicBook, adding with a shrug that it’s all up to Disney.

'You never know. It’s like everything has to go into development and find its footing.' So, not a green light. Not even close. But the hunger?

Real. And loud. The original special presentation, a black-and-white, practical-effects-heavy horror thriller starring Gael García Bernal as Jack Russell. Was a cult hit.

Critics loved it (90% on Rotten Tomatoes), fans called it a genre standout, and even the score, composed by Michael Giacchino, got its own standing ovation. It wasn’t just a movie. It was a mood. A vibe.

A one-off that somehow felt like a franchise in disguise. And now, Winderbaum’s confession lands like a punchline from a joke only Marvel insiders get. The MCU’s horror corner, which already includes Marvel Zombies, Agatha All Along, and Moon Knight. Is growing.

But Werewolf by Night was different. It didn’t need a team-up. It didn’t need a multiverse. It just needed a werewolf, a relic, and a night full of shadows.

So here we are: no official announcement, no script, no casting. Just a producer saying, ‘I’d love to.’ That’s enough for some. For others, it’s another flicker in a long line of unfulfilled promises. But if you’ve ever sat through the credits of the original and thought, ‘Wait, what happens next?’.

Then this is your moment. Disney hasn’t said yes. They haven’t said no. But the door?

It’s cracked open. And someone’s already leaning against it.
