Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Writer Clears Up Misconception About the Show’s Future

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man head writer Jeff Trammell cleared a misconception about it. This comes after Trammell praised the season finale’s special cameo.

Trammell brought this subject up over on X, avowing in response to a post from the MCU -The Direct X account professing that he said he pitched four seasons of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man to Marvel Studios, “Just to clarify I didn’t pitch four seasons. I had enough story points I wanted to explore that I felt I could do four seasons of the show, and that was as we were fleshing out the world for S1. That’s evolved to even more things I’d love to dig into if given the opportunity.“

Putting the spotlight on Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Trammell delved into its wide range of characters in January, avouching at the time that he was “excited for people to see new twists on classic characters,” and that he was also excited to “introduce characters that aren’t normally featured in Spider-Man stories.” He further asserted that one is “going to see some familiar faces,” jokingly conveying that if one is a fan of Chameleon, they’re going to see “a few of his faces.”

He concluded, “You’re also going to see Scorpion, as well as a few characters who may seem new, like Speed Demon or Butane. We have a huge rogues gallery to play with, and so we’re looking forward to putting some of them in the forefront.“

Additionally, Trammell touched upon what fans could expect from Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man in August, professing, “You know, I want to give a cliché, ‘Expect the unexpected’ answer but, honestly, I think you can expect Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. He’s hanging around New York; it’s not a huge intergalactic adventure.” He went on to further note that it’s “[Spider-Man] at his roots” and that there are “a lot of things we, as a fanbase, take at a first glance and are like, ‘Oh yeah, I know this part of the story.'”

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Is “Amazing”

Prior to that, Marvel Studios’ Head of Animation Brad Winderbaum delved into Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man in May, conveying that it’s “amazing, to say the least,” and that he thinks it’s going to surprise people, adding, “It is very much like a cut from that Steve Ditko era of the comics. It’s Peter Parker back in high school just trying to make it work, take care of his aunt, completely broke, and having to be a superhero.” More recently, Winderbaum revealed why the Disney+ series is no longer MCU canon in December. Tying into that, Trammell touched upon Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man taking place in a sister timeline.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 1 is available to stream on Disney+.
