"The premiere of Marvel's Spidey and his Amazing Friends has been a seminal moment in our journey to bring Marvel's stories to preschool audiences," said Dan Buckley, president of Marvel Entertainment. "Spider-Man has always been a character to break new ground for Marvel in every medium, so we're thrilled Peter, Gwen and Miles are resonating with so many fans. We can't wait to continue bringing that joy and experience to young kids and their families with a second season."
