Disney Branded Television has ordered a fifth season of Disney Jr. and Marvel’s preschool super-hero hit Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends. The news comes on the heels of the series recently moving ahead of both PAW Patrol and CoComelon to become the No. 2 streaming series for Kids and Boys 2-5 during the last quarter of 2024, second only to Bluey.
“Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends is what happens when two storytelling powerhouses — Marvel and Disney Jr. — come together to introduce the next generation to the world of Super Heroes,” said Ayo Davis, President, Disney Branded Television. “We love this show, and it’s been incredible to see how much kids do too. Team Spidey’s adventures aren’t slowing down anytime soon, and we can’t wait to bring even more stories, characters and action-packed fun for years to come.”
Brad Winderbaum, Head of Marvel Television and Marvel Animation, added, “Spider-Man is one of Marvel’s most iconic characters, beloved by fans of all ages for over 60 years. These characters can speak to audiences of all ages, and Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends is a fun, vibrant entry point for kids to the wider Marvel Universe. There’s plenty more adventures ahead for Spidey, Spin and Ghost-Spider, and we’re excited to partner with Disney Branded Television on a fifth season.”
Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends follows the adventures of Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales as they team up with Super Heroes to defeat foes and learn that teamwork is the best way to save the day. Geared toward preschoolers and their families, the Spidey Team models the importance of helping others and highlights themes of friendship, cooperation and problem-solving.
The first full-length Marvel preschool series, it originally premiered in August 2021 and since then has continued to grow in popularity, reaching its highest quarter ever in Q424 (Nielsen). With over 2billion views across Disney Jr. and Marvel HQ YouTube channels and over 1 billion hours watched across linear and streaming on Disney+ in the U.S., the series is also a hit internationally.
This popularity extends off-screen as well, ranking in the top five-selling overall preschool toy licenses globally (Circana Retail Tracking). Its stories and characters also resonate in other formats such as books and music, including a “My First Comic” from Marvel Press, multiple soundtracks from Walt Disney Records, and a Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends-themed segment during the popular Disney Jr. Live on Tour: Let’s Play traveling stage show.
The animated series is produced by Disney Jr. and Marvel Studios in association with Atomic Cartoons. Harrison Wilcox, Bart Jennett and Chris Moreno are executive producers, alongside Becca Topol, who serves as producer/story editor, and Steve Grover as supervising producer. The series features music by Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy) who serves as composer, songwriter and also performs the theme song.
Season 3 is currently airing on Disney Jr., with some episodes available on Disney+. Season 4 is set to debut this summer and will introduce a new “Water-Webs” storyline where Team Spidey receives new water-themed powers and pirate suits. All episodes of seasons one and two are available to stream on Disney+.
