The second season of the American animated television series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man , based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Spider-Man, explores Peter Parker's early days as Spider-Man. It is set in an alternate timeline from the main films and television series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The season is produced by Marvel Studios Animation, with Jeff Trammell as showrunner and head writer.

Hudson Thames voices Peter Parker / Spider-Man, reprising his role from the Marvel Studios animated series What If...? (2021–2024), with Charlie Cox also starring. The season was announced as Spider-Man: Sophomore Year in July 2022. The series was retitled Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man by December 2023.

The second season of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is expected to premiere on the streaming service Disney+ in late 2026 as part of Phase Six of the MCU. A third season was confirmed in January 2025. [1]

Production

Development

Marvel Studios Animation's Spider-Man: Freshman Year was announced during a Disney+ Day event in November 2021, with Jeff Trammell as head writer and showrunner. [7] [8] He envisioned a four-season story arc for the series. [2] A second season was announced in July 2022 with the title Spider-Man: Sophomore Year. [9] The series was retitled Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man by December 2023, [10] and in January 2025 Trammell said the series was not limited to covering one school year per season. [11]

Writing

While he wrote half of the first season's episodes, Trammell was only able to write around two episodes for the second season because of his other commitments as showrunner; this led to the expansion of the writing team for the second season. The writers' outline for the season features 56 pages of story elements. [2] The season's scripts were written by January 2025. [1]

Casting

Former wrestler Ettore Ewen was working on the season by January 2025, after voicing Bulldozer in the first season. [4] [5] After the first season was released in February 2025, Trammell announced that the character Gwen Stacy / Spider-Gwen would be appearing in the second season. [12] In October, Charlie Cox was confirmed to be reprising his role as Daredevil from the first season and other MCU media. [3]

Animation and design

The series' art style pays homage to the early The Amazing Spider-Man comic books, specifically those featuring art by Steve Ditko and John Romita Sr. Trammell described the series as a "moving comic book", which is achieved through 3D cel-shaded animation. [11] [13] By February 2025, animatics for the season were halfway done and some final animation was already completed. [2]

Marketing

Footage from the second season was included in a sizzle reel that was shown at Disney's upfront presentation in May 2025, [14] and more footage was shown at a New York Comic Con panel for Marvel Television and Marvel Animation in October. [6]

Release

The second season of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is expected to premiere on the streaming service Disney+ in late 2026 [6] as part of Phase Six of the MCU.[ citation needed ]
