From Uncle Jesse to Tony Stark, John Stamos is having quite the career with his latest role.

It was also announced that Alice's Wonderland Bakery has been renewed for season 2.

Marvel's Spidey and His Amazing Friends is produced by Disney Junior and Marvel Studios in association with Atomic Cartoons. Harrison Wilcox executive produces with Bart Jennett serving as co-executive producer. You can read the official logline for the cartoon show below.
“Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends follows the adventures of Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales as they team up to defeat foes and save the day. In season two of the series, the trio of young Super Heroes are able to call on Avengers pals Iron Man, Ant-Man, Wasp and Reptil, in addition to Hulk, Ms. Marvel and Black Panther, for help when trouble arises — like when villain Electro tries to drain all of the power in the city and the Spidey Team must band together to use a new glowing web formula to turn the lights back on."
