“Spidey Strikes Again! Marvel’s Hit Preschool Show Swings Into a Thrilling Fifth Season!”
Good news, little web-heads! Your favorite pint-sized superheroes are swinging back into action! Disney Branded Television has officially renewed Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends for a thrilling fifth season, proving once again that you’re never too young to save the day.
Spidey Soars in Popularity
The preschool-friendly superhero series has been making major waves, recently outpacing PAW Patrol and CoComelon to become the No. 2 streaming series for Kids and Boys aged 2-5 in late 2024—second only to the beloved Bluey. Talk about friendly neighborhood domination!
Ayo Davis, President of Disney Branded Television, couldn’t be more excited about the show’s success. “Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends is what happens when two storytelling powerhouses—Marvel and Disney Jr.—team up to introduce the next generation to superheroes,” she said. “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.”
The Power of Spidey
Spider-Man has been an iconic Marvel hero for over 60 years, and this latest iteration proves that his appeal spans all ages. “These characters speak to audiences of all generations,” said Brad Winderbaum, Head of Marvel Television and Marvel Animation. “This show is a fun, vibrant entry point for kids into the wider Marvel Universe. There are plenty more adventures ahead for Spidey, Spin, and Ghost-Spider.”
What Makes Spidey and His Amazing Friends Special?
This action-packed animated series follows Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, and Miles Morales as they work together with superhero allies to defeat villains and learn the power of teamwork. Aimed at preschoolers and their families, the show emphasizes friendship, cooperation, and problem-solving—all wrapped in exciting superhero action.
Since its debut in August 2021, the series has grown exponentially in popularity, hitting an all-time high in viewership during Q4 2024. According to Nielsen, Spidey and His Amazing Friends has amassed over 2 billion views across Disney Jr. and Marvel HQ’s YouTube channels and more than 1 billion hours watched across Disney+ and linear platforms in the U.S. That’s some serious superhero stamina!
A Superhero Beyond the Screen
The Spidey craze isn’t just limited to screens—it’s taking over toy shelves, bookstores, and even concert halls! The show ranks among the top five preschool toy licenses globally, while its influence extends to books, music, and live performances. From Marvel Press’s My First Comic series to soundtracks by Patrick Stump (of Fall Out Boy fame) and a Spidey and His Amazing Friends segment in Disney Jr. Live on Tour: Let’s Play, the web-slinging fun is everywhere.
What’s Next for Team Spidey?
Currently, Season 3 is airing on Disney Jr., while Season 4 is set to launch this summer with an exciting “Water-Webs” storyline, where Team Spidey gains water-based powers (and pirate suits, because why not?). All episodes from Seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream on Disney+ for any little superheroes who want to catch up.
Produced by Disney Jr. and Marvel Studios in association with Atomic Cartoons, the show continues to be led by executive producers Harrison Wilcox, Bart Jennett, and Chris Moreno. Becca Topol serves as producer and story editor, with Steve Grover as supervising producer. And of course, the show’s catchy tunes and theme song are composed by Patrick Stump.
The Adventure Continues!
