Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 is on the way, and the good news is, it's coming sooner than we thought. The animated series' January 2027 return was confirmed at the Marvel TV panel at New York Comic-Con 2026. But more on that later.
2026 has been a bumper year for Spidey, with TV show Spider-Noir introducing a new web-slinger, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day breaking records on the big screen. But next up, it's time for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man to save that day. The first season ended with Doctor Strange and Spider-Man teaming up to protect New York City. But it sounds as though Peter Parker will have bigger fish to fry in season 2, as the sophomore season focuses on symbiote Venom.
We get into all that and more in our guide below, where you'll find everything there is to know about Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2, including the release date, plot details, and more. So what are you waiting for? Get caught up on one of the most exciting of the upcoming Marvel movies and shows. But be warned: the following contains major season 1 spoilers.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 release date
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 will arrive on January 13, 2027, as confirmed at New York Comic-Con in October 2026.
Originally, season 2 was supposed to hit Disney Plus sometime in Fall 2026. However, in August 2026, Marvel TV took to the stage at D23 and confirmed that the animated show would return in January 2027. The official date was later announced at NYCC and shared by Marvel Studios on Twitter. The pushback may have been due to TV show VisionQuest already releasing in October 2026.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 plot speculation
Although a plot synopsis is yet to be released for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2, we learned at New York Comic Con that Marvel character Eddie Brock is joining in on the fun. Brock, who you may know from Sony's Venom trilogy, is a regular journalist who becomes entangled with a symbiote named Venom. The character is voiced by longtime Spidey vocal artist Josh Keaton, who has also voiced Spider-Man in multiple video games.
The NYCC Marvel TV panel also revealed that Gwen Stacy, aka Spider-Gwen, will make an appearance. Does that mean romance is on the cards for Peter?
The show's first poster also gives us a taste of what Spidey might be getting up to. The artwork gives us a look at Spidey's new suit, which is half taken over by a symbiote. Check out the poster below.

Beyond that, the first season's finale gives us some clues as to where the story may be going next. It seems Peter's father Richard Parker will feature, given that he made a cameo right at the end of the first season when Aunt May pays him a visit in prison. But why is he behind bars? What conspiracy is there to unravel? Why was he not mentioned at all during the first season until this scene? Where does Peter think he is? Our guess is that Peter will become embroiled in all of this, making the stakes more personal next season.
As for the villain of season 2, although it seems that Doc Ock is plotting his escape (we briefly see him pinning a picture of his tentacle suit design on the wall of his prison cell), our bet is that Norman Osborn will be the one to watch. Despite being Peter's mentor in the first season, he showed his potential for villainy through Project Monolith, which he wanted to use to ensure that mankind is "revered like gods"...
Is there a Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 trailer?
There's currently no trailer for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 available to watch online, but a teaser did air behind closed doors at New York Comic Con 2025. In the clip, which will hopefully be released to the public soon, there's a glimpse of Charlie Cox's Daredevil in animated form and some sentient black goo.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 cast speculation
Although the first season was action-packed, no one bit the dust, meaning that we should expect the majority of cast members to return for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2. Furthermore, there was an exciting cameo from Richard Parker (voiced by Marvel Animation legend Josh Keaton) at the very end of the season finale, so we should expect newcomers to join the stacked cast list too.
Gwen Stacey will be joining the cast, but the voice actor who will be bringing her to life is yet to be announced. Josh Keaton is joining the cast as Eddie Brock. But beyond that, here's what we expect the Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man cast list to look like:
- Peter Parker/Spider-Man – Hudson Thames
- Norman Osborn – Colman Domingo
- Doctor Octopus – Hugh Dancy
- Nico Minoru – Grace Song
- Lonnie Lincoln – Eugene Byrd
- Harry Osborn – Zeno Robinson
- Pearl Pangan – Cathy Ang
- Aunt May – Kari Wahlgren
- Jeanne Foucault – Anjali Kunapaneni
- Richard Parker – Josh Keaton
- Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen – TBA
- Matt Murdock/Daredevil – Charlie Cox
- Eddie Brock - Josh Keaton
