Exiles (TV series)

Exiles is an animated series created by Bryan Andrews and produced by Disney Television Animation and Marvel Animation for Disney+. Based on the comic book team of the same name, the series centers on a team of heroes assembled to fight multiversal threats. The series stars Ming-Na Wen, Tara Strong, Janice Kawaye, and Phil LaMarr.

An Exiles animated series was announced in early 2034, with Andrews set to work on the show after his work as director on Marvel Studios Animation's What If (2022-present). The series' cast was announced later that year. Andrews didn't wanted to make the series about "life-reflection" as he felt that made it too similar about other Multiverse-based series, and instead made it about "possibility". He was also interested in having crossovers with other animated Marvel series, as well as developing episodes that "homage all sorts of animation".
