Marvel Animation Announces ‘Zombies’ Specials & ‘Spider-Man’ Season 2

There are some new animated projects coming from Marvel Television, per the studio’s New York Comic-Con panel on Thursday.

Marvel Zombies is returning for the first of three all-new Halloween specials next year. In 2027, fans can expect Marvel Zombies: The Winter Soldier, followed by The Fist of Khonshu and The Last Guardian.

The animated project began last year as a four-episode series in which a slew of MCU actors lent their voices to their respective roles, including Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Tessa Thompson, Simu Liu, Awkwafina, Hailee Steinfeld, Wyatt Russell, Randall Park, Iman Vellani and Dominique Thorne. The series also brought The Blade to the MCU, voiced by Todd Williams.

In Marvel Zombies, after the Avengers are overtaken by a zombie plague, a desperate group of survivors discover the key to bringing an end to the super-powered undead, racing across a dystopian landscape and risking life and limb to save their world.

Marvel Zombies was created by Bryan Andrews and Zeb Wells. The series is executive produced by Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt, Bryan Andrews and Zeb Wells, and is produced by Danielle Costa, Carrie Wassenaar.

Also, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is swinging its way back onto Disney+ in the new year. Season 2 is set to premiere on January 13, 2027, the studio says.

The first 10-episode season of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man hit the streamer last year. The voice cast includes Hudson Thames as Peter Parker as well as Colman Domingo, Eugene Byrd, Grace Song, Zeno Robinson, Hugh Dancy and Charlie Cox.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming Spider-Man in the MCU. In this alternate timeline, as the clip previews, the webslinger’s origin story features a mentorship by Norman Osborn (of Oscorp fame), the alter ego to bitter enemy Green Goblin, instead of Tony Stark.

Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt and Trammell serve as executive producers.
