The decision to proceed with seasons 2 and 3 comes in response to the overwhelmingly positive reactions the show has received from critics, who praised its writing, humour, and action. Head of Marvel Television, Brad Winderbaum, recently spoke about the show on The Movie Podcast, saying, "I've fallen so head over heels in love with these characters, and I’ve now read all the scripts for season 2."
The series is set in a different timeline from Tom Holland’s Spider-Man but will include plenty of references and cameos, such as Charlie Cox’s Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin.
The show centres on a young Peter Parker, who is mentored by Norman Osborn—better known as The Green Goblin—instead of Tony Stark. Actor Colman Domingo lends his voice to Osborn.
