While little has been said about the series’ official premise, according to series head writer A.C. Bradley, the new season will feature more stories, new characters, and much of the same from Phase 4.
“The fun of What if…? is that we have an entire infinite multiverse to explore, so we try to jump around it as much as possible. I want to play with all these characters, and as much as I love Captain Carter, we have to share that love. I’m very happy to show new worlds, new heroes.”
