Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man season 2 release date speculation

What If...? voice actor Hudson Thames steps in for Tom Holland on this project, while Academy Award nominee Colman Domingo takes up the iconic role previously popularised in live-action by Willem Dafoe.

The first season left viewers with a major cliffhanger ending and various other storylines hurtling in exciting directions, so it's a good thing that the show's future has been confirmed by Marvel Animation and Disney Plus.

Here's everything we know so far about Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man season 2.

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man season 2 release date speculation

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man season 2 does not yet have a confirmed release date, but comments from producer Brad Winderbaum suggest we may not be waiting as long as expected.

Animation fans have had to endure extended and arduous waits for the likes of Invincible, Arcane and What If...? to return from their past hiatuses, but Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man has been gifted a running start on future episodes.

During an appearance on The Movie Podcast, Winderbaum explained that the show has been renewed for two additional seasons and that work on the second is already progressing at pace.

"I've fallen so head over heels in love with these characters," he began. "And also, I've read all the scripts for season 2, we're halfway through the animatics – what Jeff [Trammell, showrunner] is building brick by brick in this show starts to pay off."

Winderbaum elaborated: "You feel it in season 1, you grow connected to these characters, so when everything starts to lock in and pay off by the end of the season... I don't know about you guys, but I feel it really in my soul."

"And it just gets deeper and deeper in subsequent seasons," he added. "We're in agreement through season 3, so in a couple of weeks I'm going to hear his pitch for the third season of the show – and I'm like a fan, I cannot wait."

With season 2 already in production, we're estimating a launch date in summer 2026.

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man season 2 cast

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man season 2 plot theories

Plot details are not currently available for Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man season 2, but the season 1 finale certainly left plenty more ground to cover in future episodes.

Expect to find out more about the shocking reveal of Peter's father, Richard, seemingly being alive and incarcerated, while his mentor Norman discovers some symbiote tissue, which also has major implications for season 2.

We also wouldn't be surprised to see the return of Hannibal star Hugh Dancy as Otto Octavius (aka Doctor Octopus), who seems hell-bent on revenge after his initial run-in with arch-enemy Spider-Man.
