‘Ironheart’ Tricky Release Schedule—When Do New Episodes Drop On Disney+?

Another new Marvel Television series has arrived on Disney+, marking the final release of Phase Five of the MCU. The first three episodes are now streaming, but when will the rest land on the site? This latest superhero series has a unique release schedule that sets it apart from other shows on the platform.

Ironheart reintroduces fans to Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) following 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. In the film, Shuri and Okoye (Letitia Wright and Danai Gurira) tracked down the teen prodigy at MIT after she created a device for detecting Vibranium. She was then put under Wakandan protection and built her own Iron Man suit of armor to help against Namor’s attack.

In the debut season of Ironheart, Williams is returning to her hometown of Chicago. “Riri’s going back to the heart of it all,” Thorne said in an interview with Den of Geek. “She’s going back home. She’s returned to Chicago, and our girl has a lot to reflect on. The events of Wakanda shook her up and expanded her worldview. Now she has to figure out what that all means, to have been at the center of something so insane.”

The official synopsis reads, “Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins (Anthony Ramos) aka ‘The Hood.’”

For some quick Marvel Comics background, Williams is considered one of the most brilliant minds in the entire Marvel universe. She was ranked seventh in Marvel’s official list of the smartest superheroes, just after the original Ant-Man, Hank Pym (No. 6), and before X-Men’s Henry “Beast” McCoy (No. 8).

If you’ve already watched the first three episodes, you’re likely wondering when the rest of Ironheart will hit Disney+. Check out the show’s unusual release schedule below.

When Do New Episodes of Ironheart Come Out On Disney+?

New episodes of Ironheart are released every Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Disney+ through July 1, 2025.

How Many Episodes Are In Ironheart Season 1?

There are a total of six episodes in Ironheart Season 1. Unlike other MCU superhero series, the season is being released in two parts over the span of one week.

Some critics have taken issue with the show’s limited episode count, especially for a first season expected to introduce new characters and storylines. Variety’s TV critic Alison Herman wrote, “Because Ironheart is only six episodes, there’s not enough time for the show to settle into one identity before another takes over.”

Chicago Indie Critics’ Adam Patla posted on X, “#Ironheart suffers from too few episodes to dynamically explore the interesting ideas of access and privilege being discussed. However, Dominique Thorne and Alden Ehrenreich lead this show toward a satisfying conclusion that left me excited for Marvel’s next steps.”

What Is The Ironheart Season 1 Release Schedule?

The first three episodes of Ironheart premiered on June 24. Instead of following a weekly summer release, the final three episodes of the series will drop all at once on Tuesday, July 1, at 9 p.m. ET, meaning fans won’t have to wait weeks for new episodes.
