Marvel's Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, the Disney+ animated series chronicling Peter Parker's freshman year, has already received a two-season renewal, with a third season greenlit. Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' head of streaming, television, and animation, revealed in an interview with The Movie Podcast that Season 2's scripts are complete, and half the storyboards are finished, even before Season 1 premieres on January 29th.
"I've fallen so head over heels in love with these characters," Winderbaum shared, "I've now read all of the scripts for Season 2; we're halfway through the animatics. What [lead writer and executive producer Jeff Trammell] is building brick by brick in this show starts to pay off. You feel it in Season 1. You grow connected to these characters so that when everything starts to lock into place and pay off by the end of the season...it just gets deeper and deeper in subsequent seasons."

Winderbaum mentioned upcoming meetings with Trammell to discuss Season 3, but offered no details regarding release dates for either Season 2 or 3.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man follows Peter Parker's high school adventures as he develops his superpowers. While it's currently unclear whether subsequent seasons will directly correspond to his sophomore and junior years, or explore other facets of his freshman year as Spider-Man, the early renewal speaks volumes about Marvel's confidence in the series.
