Spectacular Spider-Man Season 3 Won’t Ever Happen, According to Showrunner


https://screenrant.com/spectacular-spider-man-season-3-greg-weisman-update/

Although many fans still hope it will come to be, Spectacular Spider-Man showrunner Greg Weisman says season 3 of the show will never happen.

In the past, Weisman has explained at length why Spectacular Spider-Man was canceled. Simply put, Sony owns the show but couldn't make any more episodes because Spider-Man's animation rights were returned to Marvel. Disney purchased Marvel in 2009, the same year Spectacular Spider-Man's second season concluded. So, Sony couldn't continue it, and Marvel didn't own the show for a continuation. Disney and Sony worked out a deal with Spider-Man in film, so many probably hope the same for Spectacular Spider-Man. With Weisman's blunt response, even that seems unlikely.

Spectacular Spider-Man is but one of the other canceled programs starring the hero. The popular 90s series didn't receive a sixth season. Ironically, the show that replaced Spectacular Spider-Man, Spider-Man Unlimited, was canceled after one season. The MTV Spider-Man show likewise saw just one season. The two modern titles, Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man are nowhere near as beloved as Spectacular Spider-Man, although they tried to maintain a similar tone. For now, fans can hope another faithful adaption of the character, emphasizing strong writing, will be produced someday.
