While season two of Marvel's Spider-Man is still ongoing — and on track to return this September — Disney XD has gone ahead and already ordered a third season of the Emmy Award-nominated animated series.
Season three is slated to premiere in Spring 2020 and will continue to follow Peter Parker as he navigates life as the teenage superhero web-slinger. In season three, which is titled
Marvel's Spider-Man: Maximum Venom, Parker will be pushed to his breaking point "when Venom summons an earth-shattering threat from its home planet."
"This is the most epic conflict in the history of Marvel Animation," said Cort Lane, senior vice president of Marvel Animation & Family Entertainment.
"We planted the seeds in two seasons of 'Marvel's Spider-Man' and three seasons of 'Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy,' but you don't need to have watched them to be blown away by this colossal confrontation. While a ton of guest heroes will be on hand, Peter Parker's special link to Venom makes him the only hero who can tip the scales to save humanity."
Marvel's Spider-Man will return for the second part of its sophomore season in September. It will premiere with a five-part story arc titled "
Super Spider-Man." The synopsis reads:
"In the new storyline, Doctor Octopus, who has taken over Spider-Man's body, intends to use his new spider powers to further his evil agenda."
Marvel's Spider-Man has been a smash hit for Disney XD, ranking as the network's #1 series on cable in the MOnday 6:30 p.m. half-hour timeslot among Kids 6-11 and Boys 6-11.
