The long-awaited second season of I Am Groot is very nearly here, and the five-episode series has already broken a Marvel Studios runtime record.
I Am Groot looks set to be even briefer than season 1, news confirmed by writer Ryan Little (via Toonado.com). As you can see below, the entirety of the show will clock in at just 15 minutes in total, making it the shortest MCU content ever released. Outside of Disney+ TV shows, Avengers: Endgame is still the longest at over 3 hours.
We're not going to lose any sleep over this news, of course, as the show's first five similarly brief episodes packed in plenty of stories and hilarious moments featuring the beloved sentient tree.
Very little has been revealed about I Am Groot season 2 beyond what we've seen in the trailer; however, by far the biggest moment in that came when we saw Jeffrey Wright's Uatu the Watcher, the What If...? mainstay who technically makes his "live-action" debut here (the show is CG but features photo-realistic imagery).
The troublemaking twig returns to mischief in the second season of I Am Groot. This time, Baby Groot finds himself exploring the universe and beyond aboard the Guardians' spaceships, coming face-to-face - or nose-to-nose - with new and colourful creatures and environments.
Vin Diesel is back as the voice of Groot in five all-new shorts. Kirsten Lepore, writer/director of season one, returns in the same capacity for season two.
The supervising producer is Danielle Costa; producers are Craig Rittenbaum and Alex Scharf; executive producers are Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso and Kirsten Lepore. Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt is the co-executive producer.
I Am Groot season 2 will premiere on Disney+ on September 6.
