Marvel Animation is set to break anMCUTV show record for the second time with the upcoming release ofYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Set in an alternate reality across the MCU’s multiverse,Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manwill detail the origin story of Hudson Thames' Peter Parker as Spider-Man, exploring a narrative the live-action MCU hasn’t touched, with a few twists. Set to premiere on June 19, 2025,Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manis the MCU’s next installment, and it’s expected to break one major Marvel record.
Hudson Thames previously voiced Peter Parker’s Spider-ManinWhat If…?, but will get the chance to develop a new iteration of the iconic Marvel wall-crawler from scratch inYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.Instead of Tony Stark becoming Peter Parker’s mentor, Colman Domingo’s Norman Osborn will fill this role, bringing an entirely new dynamic to theupcoming Multiverse Saga series. This will create many interesting storylines that Marvel can explore inYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and these stories will unfold over a whopping ten episodes.

It’s possible the series will follow in the footsteps of other MCU shows, and kick off with a double-premiere on January 29, before then reverting to a weekly release. Thefirst trailer forYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manshows off the series’ unique animation style, differing from anything Marvel Studios has done before, and has put some of the series' most-anticipated twists front-and-center.By including ten episodes,Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manbreaks an MCU series recordthat only one other show has touched.

The only other Marvel Studios TV show that has comprised ten episodes is 2024’sX-Men ‘97season 1.Every live-action series released on Disney+ has included nine or fewer episodes, makingX-Men ‘97andYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manthe longest shows in the MCU, thoughLokiandWhat If…?have spanned for multiple seasons, increasing their episode count.

BothX-Men ‘97andYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manare both set inalternate realities across the MCU’s multiverse. This perhaps constitutes more than the usual episode count, asthere needs to be more set-up in these shows to establish the world than what is needed in shows set in the MCU’s main timeline of Earth-616.Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manis expected to make some huge changes to Peter Parker’s story, which is very exciting, and the extended episode count just makes this better.
