Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man first footage and release date revealed

Fans who've kept a close eye on Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man know the project has shifted a lot over the years. The animated series was announced back in 2021 under the title Spider-Man: Freshman Year and was supposed to follow Peter's journey as he became the wall-crawler in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, both the name and concept changed, which inevitably resulted in a lengthier production time. And just when the dust settled and all signs seemed to indicate November 2, 2024, would be the official release date, there was yet another bump in the road.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was ultimately delayed, which isn't surprising considering 2024 is almost over and we still haven't seen its full-length trailer. Furthermore, key details such as episode count and length remain (officially) under wraps - which only supports the idea that we'll have to wait a little longer. So the next question in mind is: when will we finally get to watch Spidey's adventures on the small screen? Well, fortunately for us, we finally have a concrete answer.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will be released on January 29, 2025

A brand new Disney+ trailer teases what's to come to the streaming platform during 2024 and 2025. Thanks to it, we finally have confirmation Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man will be released on January 29, 2025. Best of all: the first official footage of the series is available for everyone to see, and it is jaw-dropping.

The animation style can be compared to the Ultimate Spider-Man (2005) video game, with 3D graphics that mimic illustrations found in comic book pages. Besides, we also hear a bit of Hudson Thames' voice as Peter Parker, who's portraying the role a second time after voicing the wall-crawler during an episode in What If...?. While there wasn't a lot of footage shown, it paints a clearer picture of what awaits us in store on January 29, 2025.

Unfortunately, we still don't have an official episode count or length for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. However, previous reports indicated the first season will consist of 10 episodes with a runtime of approximately 30 minutes each. Furthermore, Daredevil will reportedly have a big role, which isn't surprising considering he makes an amazing duo with Spider-Man in comic book pages. Fortunately, it won't be long before we finally get confirmation about all these little details the closer we get to the series' release date. After all, January is just around the corner.
