Set in an alternate reality across the MCU"s multiverse, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will 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 January 29, 2025, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is the MCU"s next installment, and it"s expected to break one major Marvel record.
Hudson Thames previously voiced Peter Parker"s Spider-Man in What If...?, but will get the chance to develop a new iteration of the iconic Marvel wall-crawler from scratch in Your 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 the upcoming Multiverse Saga series. This will create many interesting storylines that Marvel can explore in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and these stories will unfold over a whopping ten episodes.

Both X-Men "97 and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man are both set in alternate realities across the MCU"s multiverse. This perhaps constitutes more than the usual episode count, as there 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-Man is expected to make some huge changes to Peter Parker"s story, which is very exciting, and the extended episode count just makes this better.
