Marvel’s Spider-Man Season Two Premiering on Disney XD Later This Year

Disney XD and Marvel Entertainment have announced that Marvel’s Spider-Man will premiere on the network later this year. The network and studio announced on Wednesday that the show will join Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout and Marvel’s Avengers: Black Panther’s Quest on the network this year. The specific premiere date will be announced later.

The second season of Marvel’s Spider-Man follows Peter Parker in his sophomore year as a more experienced Super Hero and a more confident student at what was once the intimidating Horizon High School. Picking up where season one left off – in an epic showdown against Doc Ock, the Sinister Five, and Hobgoblin – season two will offer much higher stakes for both Peter and his heroic alter-ego, Spider-Man. He’ll also learn how to navigate new responsibilities like working at his local newspaper The Daily Bugle while enduring Doc Ock’s series of obstacles in the villain’s attempt to get rid of Spider-Man once and for all. The action-packed season will continue to touch on Spidey’s relatable themes, including friendship, loyalty and heroism, while staying true to its signature sense of comedy. The premiere date for the series will be announced at a later date.

Marc Buhaj, Senior Vice President, Programming and General Manager, Disney XD, said, “We’re proud of our partnership with Marvel Animation and look forward to premiering more adventure storytelling, through the lens of some of the world’s most prominent Super Heroes, for years to come.”

“We are tremendously proud of our animated series on Disney XD. We look forward to continuing our relationship with them including fresh new seasons of ‘Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout,’ ‘Marvel’s Avengers: Black Panther’s Quest,’ and ‘Marvel’s Spider-Man’ which will air through 2019,” said Dan Buckley, President, Marvel Entertainment. “As we continue to produce in the animation space, we are constantly looking to expand our footprint with projects such as the highly-anticipated ‘Marvel Rising,’ and a second season of ‘Marvel Super Hero Adventures.’ Additionally, we are pleased with the continual growth of Marvel HQ on YouTube Kids, which features library favorites and premiere episodes of Marvel Super Hero Adventures and the Marvel Funko animated shorts, as well as upcoming original content.”
