She-Hulk Season 2 Update: Marvel TV Boss Says He'd 'Love to Make More' Despite Budget Concerns

Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum says he'd love to make more She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, but don't hold your breath. Speaking on The Escape Pod podcast, Winderbaum praised the show's performance with a "general audience" despite its mixed fan reception and reportedly enormous $225 million budget.

What did Marvel's TV boss actually say about She-Hulk season 2?

According to Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum via The Escape Pod podcast, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was "one of our best-performing shows" that successfully reached a general audience. "I'd love to make more She-Hulk," Winderbaum stated, though he seemed to acknowledge the reality when interviewers suggested it wasn't likely to happen.

"There was a mismatch between the general audience response and the fan response," Winderbaum explained. This disconnect becomes clear when you look at the numbers: the show earned an 80% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes but managed only 32% from audiences — the lowest score of any Marvel series.

Winderbaum concluded with cautious optimism: "I'd love to have the opportunity to make more She-Hulk. Hopefully one day. Maybe."

The budget reality behind She-Hulk's uncertain future

The elephant in the room is She-Hulk's reported $225 million budget, largely driven by extensive CGI work for the main character. To put that in perspective, last year's Marvel film Thunderbolts cost $180 million, while the recent Agatha: All Along series came in at just $40 million.

Marvel has clearly taken note. The studio has shifted towards more cost-effective streaming shows under its Marvel Television banner, focusing on series it can afford to bring back for multiple seasons. Shows like Daredevil: Born Again and Wonder Man — reportedly Marvel's lowest-budget series to date — represent this new approach.

This strategy makes sense for Disney+ programming, where sustainable content pipelines matter more than individual spectacle.

Where does this leave Tatiana Maslany's She-Hulk?

Tatiana Maslany's future as She-Hulk remains genuinely uncertain. While the character might be better suited to big-screen appearances where Marvel's film budgets can accommodate her CGI-heavy presence, there's no confirmed role in this year's Avengers: Doomsday.

An appearance in next year's Avengers: Secret Wars seems more plausible, though Marvel could also use the end of its Multiverse Saga to retire characters it's no longer keen to continue — a fate that seems likely for Emilia Clarke's Secret Invasion character.

For now, UAE viewers can still stream the original series on Disney+, but don't expect a season renewal announcement anytime soon.
