It had been quite some time since there were any updates on the upcoming Spider-Man: Freshman Year animated series. However, the executive producer of the Disney series recently spoke up on the matter and shared the current status of the show, so fans don’t have to worry anymore regarding the show getting canceled. Spider-Man: Freshman Year was announced back in 2021 and is one animated project of Marvel Studios that fans aren’t quite aware of.
In the beginning, there were quite a lot of speculations that the series might be set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and would complete some of the plotholes from Peter Parker’s story. This was short-lived since the first concept art for the series was released, denying those speculations and revealing that the show is greatly inspired by the Spidey comic books.
Unfortunately, Marvel Studios has been quiet on the topic ever since they shared some information on Spider-Man: Freshman Year at the San Diego Comic-Con. They also haven’t unveiled the release date for the title yet, leaving a lot of fans concerned about the fact that the show might have gotten canceled.
Freshman Year’s Executive Producer Shares Details With Fans
The lead writer as well as executive producer of Spider-Man: Freshman Year, Jeff Trammel, recently went over to his Twitter in order to inform fans that the Disney+ show is coming. He claimed that he couldn’t really share any information about the project, but he was eager for the fans to see the series. He further revealed that the crew is working day and night to make Freshman Year feel unique, fun, and special and that he was excited to release it into the world.
The CEO of Disney, Bob Iger, recently shared that they were reducing the amount of content they produce for Disney+. This claim, along with the streaming service removing several movies and shows from its platform, worried fans that the Spider-Man series might be getting canceled.
Some time ago, the Japan-based animation studio known as Polygon Pictures announced that they were going to work on Spider-Man: Freshman Year. However, Trammel’s post on Twitter is the very first sign fans have received regarding the confirmation of the animated series, revealing that it is still in development.
