Disney XD has ordered a third season of the Emmy Award-nominated animated series "
Marvel's Spider-Man" for a Spring 2020 premiere. The web-slinging series follows Peter Parker, who is learning to navigate life as the teenage superhero
Spider-Man.
In the third season, titled "
Marvel's Spider-Man: Maximum Venom," Spider-Man is pushed to his breaking point when
Venom summons an earth-shattering threat from its home planet. The announcement was made today by Marc Buhaj, senior vice president, Programming and general manager, Disney XD.
"This is the most epic conflict in the history of Marvel Animation," said Cort Lane, senior vice president, 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."
New season two episodes of "Marvel's Spider-Man" will debut in September on Disney XD and DisneyNOW, beginning with a five-part "Superior Spider-Man" story arc. 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.
