The Falcon And Winter Soldier: Episode 2 Release Date, What To Expect, And How To Watch

Disney+'s next MCU series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is about to arrive on the streaming service. In order to watch Episode 2 and beyond of the six episode series, here's what you need to know.

In order to watch Episode 2, you'll either have to stay up pretty late--if you're in the US--or just watch right when you wake up. Additionally, you'll probably want to avoid social media in case there are spoilers. Episode 2 debuts on Disney+ at 12 AM PT / 3 AM ET on Friday, March 26. This translates to 7 AM GMT--for UK viewers--and 6 PM AEDT--for those in Australia.

If you want to check out the show, you'll need Disney+. The streaming service costs $7 a month (or $70 a year) and can be bundled with ESPN+ and Hulu as well. In addition to Falcon and the Winter Soldier, you can watch all of WandaVision, two seasons of Mandalorian, and most of the MCU movies--Incredible Hulk still isn't there.

The upcoming show will dive into the personal lives of the titular characters, when they're not out fighting crime. And while this series will have fewer episodes than WandaVision, it's for good reason. Falcon and the Winter Soldier will have longer episodes than its predecessor in order to tell its story. So everything evens out in the long run. Plus, we'll get some pretty excellent fight sequences, that will stand on their own compared to other MCU battles. Early reactions from critics on Twitter were very positive, so get pumped for the new show.

What to expect in Episode 2:

• Sam and Bucky reuniting. Episode 1 kept Sam and Bucky apart, but don't expect their stories to stay separate for too much longer.
• Wilson family drama. Sam and his sister are likely going to be working through their issues with their family's business and financial problems through the entire season. These things won't go away just because Sam has superhero business to tend to.
• Bucky against his past. We got an up close and personal look at some of Bucky's trauma this week during his therapy session, and a glimpse into how he's been keeping himself busy--a list of HYDRA-related people he's been tracking down. It's doubtful that list is going away any time soon, it was pretty long.
• A new Cap. Most importantly, Episode 1 closed on a cliffhanger ending and the mysterious arrival of a new, government sponsored Captain America. Expect to learn more about exactly who he is and why he was selected for the job next week. You may want to brush up on your US Agent trivia as the show progresses.
• Of course, it's best not to forget that there are other villains afoot as well. The Flag-Smasher terrorists are going to play a major role in the rest of the season and though he wasn't in this episode, Zemo is slated for a return as well. Keep an eye out.
