"Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" Renewed for Season 2 and 3
Disney has great faith in the latest Disney+ Marvel series, the animated outing "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" has been renewed for season 2 and season 3.
Set to release on January 29, the show follows a parallel timeline where Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, is mentored by Norman Osborn, the alter-ego of his archenemy the Green Goblin, instead of Tony Stark like in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Cast members include Hudson Thames as the titular web-slinger, Colman Domingo as Osborn, Kari Wahlgren as Aunt May, and Hugh Dancy as Doctor Octopus. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio will reprise their roles from the 'Daredevil' Netflix series, and Paul F. Tompkins will take on the role of classic Marvel Comics villain The Wizard.
The news was shared by Marvel's Television and Streaming head Brad Winderbaum in a recent The Movie Podcast just days before the debut of the series.
Winderbaum connected virtually with the podcast and disclosed he was 'head over heels in love with these characters' from the animated series.
He shared details regarding Season 2 of "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" and added, 'I've now read all the scripts for Season 2, we're halfway through the animatics. What Jeff (Jeff Trammell) is building brick by brick in this show starts to pay off.' The series, which was previously named "Spider-Man: Freshman Year", was renewed for Season 2 in 2022.
He further discussed his connection with the characters of the show and asserted that it 'gets deeper and deeper in subsequent seasons.'
Additionally, Winderbaum revealed the surprise news that "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" is already greenlit to return for a third season.
Winderbaum said, 'We're also greenlit for through Season 3, and in a couple weeks, I'm gonna hear his pitch for the third season of the show, and I'm like a fan, I can't wait.'
Spider-Man has been a major earner for Marvel ever since Tom Holland took over the part in 2016 with the release of 'Captain America: Civil War.'
Holland has played the web-slinging hero five times since. His latest film, 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' released in 2021, went on to become the seventh highest-grossing movie of all time.
Before Spider-Man joined the MCU, the franchise was first helmed by Sam Raimi for Sony Pictures. The pairing would produce three movies in 2002, 2004, and 2007 starring Toby Maguire.
Sony would then reboot the series in 2012 with Andrew Garfield, and all three Spideys had a memorable reunion in 'No Way Home.'
The team helming this new take on 'Spider-Man' includes Jeff Trammell as head writer and Mel Zwyer as supervising director. Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt and Trammell serve as executive producers.
"Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" will hit Disney+ with its first two episodes on January 29.

Duffer Brothers Eyeing Massive Paramount Overall Deal
Yara Sameh Matt and Ross Duffer are contemplating moving from Netflix to Paramount in a rich new overall deal. The Duffer Brothers, creators of the Netflix juggernaut 'Stranger Things,' are in advanced negotiations to exclusively create film and television — with an emphasis on tentpole movies — at the legacy studio just taken over by David Ellison's Skydance. The move reunites the Duffers with Cindy Holland, Paramount's new head of streaming, who greenlit 'Stranger Things' at Netflix. It would also witness the pair working with Josh Greenstein and Dana Goldberg, who share film and series creative duties. The Duffers do still have considerable business with Netflix through their production company Upside Down Pictures — a nod to the phantasmagoric alternate dimension that fuels the story on 'Stranger Things' —, run by producing partner Hilary Leavitt. The pair completed production on two new series set to debut on the streamer in 2026: the adventure series 'The Boroughs' with Bill Pullman, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard and Alfred Molina; and the relationship horror series 'Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen' with Jennifer Jason Leigh. A preview of the upcoming animated prequel 'Stranger Things: Tales From '85' screened at the 2025 Annecy Festival in June. The brothers are expected to mount an as-yet unannounced live-action spin-off series following the fifth and final season of 'Stranger Things,' which premieres in November. Before 'Stranger Things' made them household names, the Duffers' career almost stalled before it could start, when Warner Bros. sat on their directorial debut, the post-apocalyptic thriller 'Hidden,' for years after they'd made it, ultimately dumping it into the VOD market. M. Night Shyamalan, however, liked their script for the film so much that he hired them as writers on his 2015 Fox series 'Wayward Pines.' Their pilot script for what became 'Stranger Things' was turned down by just about every network in the industry, until Shawn Levy's 21 Laps came on board and sold the show to Netflix. The first season, for which the Duffers directed six of the eight episodes, became an instant sensation when it debuted in July 2016 — the streamer's first homegrown hit show without a name-brand creator or subject matter. The fourth season of the show became Netflix's most-watched English-language series ever when it debuted in 2022. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
