Wolverine and the X-Men is a series that ran between September 6th, 2008 and March 12th, 2009 for one season. It is the fourth animated adaptation of the X-Men characters after "Pryde of the X-Men", X-Men and X-Men: Evolution.

Background

The series was in the pre-production stage as of April 2007 and early news had speculated the show to air in Fall 2008. However, the speculation came to a rest as according to Marvel Quartely reports, the show is scheduled to air in the United States in Spring 2009. It was also confirmed in an article by USA TODAY's website in which it specifically mentions the cartoon starting in early 2009 on Nicktoons Network. Press releases indicate the first episode was due to premiere August 2nd 2008 on BBC2 UK, however it has been postponed. On June 23, 2008, a second preview for the series, starring the main X-Men team, was released to announce the special screening of the 3-part pilot episodes that aired at the San Diego Comic-Con in late July 2008. In Canada, the series will be airing on YTV starting September 6 in the 7pm time slot. In Brazil and Latin America, the series is airing on Jetix Brazil and Jetix (Latin America) starting August 25 from Mondays to Thursdays at 3:30 PM. Also starting September 1st there is a second feed running from Monday to Friday and a third one on Saturdays.

On April 15, 2010 it was announced that the second season was being put into production. This is because the producers were unable to work out the financing for the show. [1][2]

While many of the second season's storylines and episodes have not or will ever be fully revealed, there has been several ideas that the Age of Apocalypse story would featured:

The producers considered putting Deadpool into the series, but was unable to before the series ended. Colossus was also planned to have returned, being given a reintroduction storyline and becoming a regular character in the process, including bringing in his sister. On Facebook there is a grand total of 7 scripts found for the second season and 9 episodes name titles were: A New Order, Infinite Future, Russian Magik, Recall, Legacy, eXodus, and A crisis averted. There was a scrapped idea according to Joshua Fine, in the season finale Charles Xavier would have eventually woken up from his coma. Emma Frost was planned to have returned sometime into the second season, and have transferred her mind into Jean while she was sacrificing herself. Jean would block this out, though ultimately prove unsuccessful keeping her dormant and would have resulted in her revival, which would have occurred when Beast reconstructed her body. Havok would have became a marauder according to Russian Magik's script, but is unknown if he evolved into becoming a Horseman. Speaking Horseman, it was foreshadowed in the first season by Archangel and Apocalypse and had the second season aired, some mutants would've became subjects for the Horsemen possibly Gambit, Sabertooth, etc. Even though it was already foreshadowed in Shades of Gray, plans were seemly under way to bring Nate Gray, Cable (who are Cyclops's sons in alt timelines) and possibly Hope Summers or Madeline Pryor into Wolverine and the X-men and there was already a concept art of Cable, but because of the series being cancelled, It is unknown what their roles would be and how Cyclops or Jean would react. Because Apocalypse is considered as a worldwide threat, no doubt The Avengers would have most likely showed in the series to help the X-men and perhaps the X-factor too.
