Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Release date, cast & more

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will see Peter Parker swinging back onto screens in animated form once again.

Spider-Man is one of the hallmarks of Marvel. Of course, he’s had multiple cartoon iterations over the years, from the ’90s rendition to the Spider-Verse series. And of course, there’s still the matter of the live-action Spider-Man 4.

But that’s still a while off, and until then, we’ve got Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man to look forward to.

So here’s everything we know about the upcoming Marvel TV show so far, including the release date, cast, and other news.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man release date

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will premiere on January 29, 2025 on Disney+.

Good news – a second season, Spider-Man: Sophomore Year, has already been announced!

There had been a lot of radio silence on the show over the past few months, and with Disney CEO Bob Iger discussing on cutting back content on Disney+, fans were worrying that the show may be cancelled.

But fear not! Jeff Trammel, the head writer and executive producer on the animated series took to X to reassure fans, stating, “Nothing that I can share yet, just that I’m eager for everyone to see the show. Our crew worked (and is still working) hard to make Freshman Year feel special, fun and unique and I’m excited for the world to see it!”

Is there a trailer?

Sadly there’s no full trailer yet, but a teaser for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was released in October 2024.

Marvel released a compilation of teasers for upcoming TV projects, including the new Spider-Man Series. You can see Peter Parker swinging into action, and swinging a brick at someone a little too hard.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man plot

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man takes place during Peter Parker’s first year of high school, in an alternate timeline in which Norman Osborn is Peter’s mentor instead of Tony Stark.

The series will take its visual design cues from the Silver Age Spider-Man comics, and incorporate the likes of other superheroes such as Doctor Strange and Daredevil.

He will reportedly face off against classic foes like Doctor Octopus and Chameleon, as well as several other small-time comic book villains.

It seems like this series will not be part of the MCU, though considering the parallels, perhaps this is just another multiverse version of Spider-Man.
