These series listed herein all confront that very concept in various ways (with one notable exception). Presented here is a ranking of the ten top seasons of science fiction and fantasy TV from 2025.

10. Spider-Man: Your Friendly Neighborhood

Despite more than 60 years of history, Spider-Man is constantly reinvented by new creative voices. Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man delivers a refreshing perspective at the character's formative days, skillfully blending essential source material elements with influences from other adaptations to craft something which is both fresh and deeply compelling.

Instead of being solo or Tony Stark as a guide, this version of the hero forges a complex partnership with the future Green Goblin, who in this story is still just the head of Oscorp. Across their dynamic, Peter grows into his own man, internalizing the iconic mantra of great power and responsibility.

9. Hazbin Hotel Season 2

Creator Vivienne Medrano's audacious adult musical-comedy series, which originated as a crowdfunded pilot, fully came into its own in its second installment.

The first episode is a thrilling return to form, evoking the intense tone audiences loved from the original incarnation. Although the subsequent chapters venture into some different territory, the season concludes on a strong note, leaving viewers eagerly awaiting a second season.
