‘VisionQuest’ Episode 3 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
The third episode of ‘VisionQuest’ is the next stop for viewers following Vision’s new journey on Disney+. It arrives alongside the fourth installment on October 20, with the pair titled ‘Reboot’ and ‘Malware’. That pairing means the next chapter lands as part of a double drop rather than a single weekly episode.
The schedule also shifted late in the rollout, which has left some listings out of step with one another. Here is a clear breakdown of when the next episodes arrive, what time to tune in, where to stream them and what the available material says about what comes next.
‘VisionQuest’ Episode Release Date and Weekly Schedule
The third episode, titled ‘Reboot’, and the fourth episode, titled ‘Malware’, are set to air on October 20. The date comes from the rundown Marvel released after it moved the premiere forward. That rundown reset the calendar for every episode that follows.
Nerdist reports that Marvel Studios announced on Monday, October 12 that the show would premiere on October 13 and release new episodes every Tuesday. That explains why some outlets still list the third episode under October 21. The difference comes down to time zones, since the evening release in North America falls on the following day elsewhere.
The third episode also does not arrive on its own. The series has eight episodes in total, with the first six released in pairs across three weeks and the final two arriving separately. Viewers who watched the premiere pair will recognize the pattern.
‘VisionQuest’ Episode Release Time in Your Time Zone
New episodes premiere at 6 p.m. PT and 9 p.m. ET each week. That evening slot is the same one the premiere used, so viewers in North America do not need to adjust their routine from the first week.
For viewers elsewhere, the release slips into Wednesday. According to 9to5Marvel, the third and fourth episodes arrive on Tuesday evening in the US, then reach the UK at 2 a.m. on Wednesday, October 21 and India at 6.30 a.m. that same morning. Anyone planning around local schedules should check the Wednesday listing for their region.
Runtime is worth keeping in mind for a live watch. The two-part premiere runs about 97 minutes, which suggests the paired drops may call for a longer sitting than a typical weekly episode.
Where to Watch ‘VisionQuest’ on Disney+
‘VisionQuest’ streams exclusively on Disney+. There is no theatrical window or secondary platform attached to the series, so a Disney+ subscription is the only way to follow along. Disney’s official viewing guide also confirmed the earlier start date for the series.
The series is billed as a miniseries with eight episodes. That makes each double drop a significant share of the overall story. It is also described as the final Marvel TV show of 2026, which gives the remaining weeks a sense of closing out the year for the studio’s television slate.
Terry Matalas created the series, which serves as the third show in the trilogy that began with ‘WandaVision’ and continued with ‘Agatha All Along’. Viewers who have not revisited those earlier series may want to do so before the next pair of episodes arrives.
‘VisionQuest’ Episode Preview and What to Expect
The sources reviewed do not include a detailed synopsis of ‘Reboot’, so the broader series premise is the best guide to where the story stands. Vision has been rebooted and is trying to stay out of the hands of those who want to turn him into a weapon, turning to the AI personalities in his programming, including F.R.I.D.A.Y., E.D.I.T.H., J.A.R.V.I.S. and Ultron. A bounty then forces him to flee with Thomas Shepherd, a mysterious young man who may be connected to Vision’s family.
On the creative side, one episode guide lists Gandja Monteiro as director and Cindy Appel as writer of ‘Reboot’. The supporting cast is also growing. Deadline reports that Todd Stashwick plays the mercenary Paladin and Faran Tahir returns as Raza, the Ten Rings leader from ‘Iron Man’. Lauren Morais joins as Lisa Molinari, a character closely connected to Thomas Shepherd.
The pacing of the middle episodes may matter more than any single plot point. 9to5Marvel notes that early reactions after New York Comic Con said the middle of the season drags a little, and it frames pairing episodes as a neat way to get through that stretch quickly. If that reading holds, ‘Reboot’ and ‘Malware’ arriving together could shape how the central relationship between Vision and Ultron lands.
With ‘Reboot’ and ‘Malware’ dropping together, do you think pairing episodes helps Vision’s story move with purpose, or does it leave too little room for his uneasy bond with Ultron to breathe, and where do you hope Thomas Shepherd’s story goes from here?
