The new episode of What If…? is expected to be based on the Marvel Zombies miniseries, which released in 2005 and 2006. It was written by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and Sean Phillips made the artwork. The covers of Marvel Zombies were done by Arthur Suydam. The new What If…? posters show zombie versions of Captain America and Hawkeye. Marvel’s What If…? season 1, episode 5 will be available on September 8 on Disney Plus Hotstar.

What If…? season 1 will have nine episodes in total. The first season was supposed to have 10 episodes, but it wasn’t finished due to the pandemic. While speaking to Collider, executive producer Brad Winderbaum said, “We had to push an episode into Season 2. It was just, honestly, like everything else, that was a COVID impact. There was an episode that just wouldn't hit the completion date, but luckily we do get to see it in the second season of the show.” Winderbaum also revealed that the second season of What If…? will have nine episodes.”

The What If…? executive producer further explained, “We targeted a half an hour for each episode. Some of them come in a little longer, some of them come in a little shorter. We wanted to tell as many stories as we could and we had a certain budget we had to work with so it felt like that 10-episode — now 9-episode run — was the right quantity.”
