Where to Watch Every Spider-Man TV Series
Spider-Man first appeared in a 1962 issue of Amazing Fantasy. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, the story follows Peter Parker, who gets bit by a radioactive spider that gives him super abilities like slinging webs from his wrists and climbing walls.
Since then, Spider-Man has become one of the most iconic superheroes ever with tons of hit movies, video games, and TV series to his credit. This guide will show you every Spider-Man television series and let you know where they’re all streaming online right now.
Spider-Man got his first animated series just five years after debuting in comics, proving how quickly he became a fan-favorite hero. The series is everything you’d expect from Spider-Man and focuses on Peter’s life as a student and photographer for the Daily Bugle…all while fighting crime with his superpowers.

Next up, Spider-Man got his very own live-action series starring Nicholas Hammond (who gained fame from starring in The Sound of Music) with The Amazing Spider-Man. The show was popular, but it was also pretty expensive to produce and CBS worried that continuing the show past two seasons would be too much of a financial gamble, and ultimately decided to cancel it.

For one season, Spider-Man returned with a self-titled animated series that saw Spidey face off against tons of in-universe villains like Dr. Octopus, but also villains from other franchises like Magneto from X-Men and Medusa from Fantastic Four.
The same year Spider-Man got a new animated series, he also got a spin-off show. In Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Parker teams up with Iceman from X-Men and a new original character named Firestar. The trio team up as the “Spider-Friends” to fight villains.
Spider-Man was again rebooted as an animated series in 1994. Running for five seasons, the show saw Parker do his thing as Spider-Man to help save the city from villains. The finale also involved multiple Spider-Men from different universes, being a precursor to the Spiderverse plotline that’s been revisited numerous times since.
Spider-Man Unlimited had a darker, more mature tone and sees Spidey get framed as a villain after the Daily Bugle blames him for a missing astronaut. The series also brought on Venom and Carnage as major villains for the first time in a Spider-Man TV series.
Released during the era of the Sam Raimi films, The New Animated Series takes place during the same timeline as the films (making Spider-Man a college student) and fills in the gap between the first two movies. It also had a robust voice cast including Neil Patrick Harris and Lisa Loeb.
In 2012, Spider-Man was rebooted yet again with The Spectacular Spider-Man, this time placing him back in high school. The series was also released the same year that Andrew Garfield revived the character in the 2012 movie The Amazing Spider-Man.
In 2017, Spider-Man got a reboot yet again, and again it was released the same year as another film reboot: Spider-Man: Homecoming (which premiered just three years after the second Andrew Garfield movie).
Designed for a much younger audience, Spidey and His Amazing Friends places Parker and his friends as grade school students. But Spidey and his allies like Spin and Ghost-Spider still tackle bad guys…just with a little less action and violence.
