Spider-Man: The New Animated Series (a.k.a. MTV's Spider-Man) was an animated series featuring Spider-Man, which ran for one season (13 episodes) starting July 2003. The show was made using computer generated imagery (CGI) rendered in cel shading and was produced by Mainframe Entertainment (Exective Producer Brian Michael Bendis) for Sony Pictures Television and broadcast on MTV; it featured characters and a loose continuity from the 2002 Spider-Man movie (except Aunt May, who was seen only in photographs throughout the series). Spider-Man was voiced by Neil Patrick Harris.

Synopsis
The CGI version of Marvel's popular superhero features the voice talents of Neil Patrick Harris as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Lisa Loeb as Mary Jane and Ian Ziering as Harry Osborn. Assuming this series fits into the movie continuity, it takes place sometime after the first (as Norman Osborn is dead). Here, Peter has graduated from high school and is attending Empire State University. Still burdened with the desire to use his incredible, spider bite-derived powers to do good, he finds it hard balancing his responsibilities of being a superhero with schoolwork and his romance with Mary Jane Watson.
