== Premise ==
When a rupture in the timestream unleashes unstable versions of the past, present, and future, Peter Parker finds himself hunted by forces he can’t begin to understand—and haunted by versions of himself he never became. As timelines fracture and familiar faces re-emerge in unrecognizable forms, Peter must team up with Mayday Parker, a daughter he’s never met from a future that may never come, and face impossible choices that challenge the very essence of who Spider-Man is. With time collapsing, enemies evolving, and the multiverse unraveling, Peter races against the inevitable to prevent the rise of a temporal god—and learns that with great power comes not just great responsibility... but unbearable consequence.

In March 2023, [[Freddie Goodwin]]
In March 2023, [[Freddie Goodwin]]—writer of ''[[Impulse (TV series)|Impulse]]'' (2024), ''[[Moonknight (miniseries)|Moonknight]]'' (2025), ''[[Young Justice (2025 miniseries)|Young Justice]]'' (2025), and ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths (miniseries)|Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'' (2025)—began early development on a new project centered around [[Spider-Man]]. Rather than approaching it as a traditional feature film, Goodwin opted to explore the character through a serialized format, ultimately deciding to create a television series instead.
 
In February 2021, Ryan Coogler—writer and director of the Marvel Studios films ''Black Panther'' (2018) and ''Black Panther: Wakanda Forever'' (2022)—announced a five-year television deal between his company Proximity Media and The Walt Disney Company. The deal included the development of a drama series for the streaming service Disney+ based on the fictional country of Wakanda, the setting of the ''Black Panther'' films. Coogler was developing the series with Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, and Victoria Alonso. Richard Newby at ''The Hollywood Reporter'' said the series could expand the mythos of Wakanda while also paying tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who portrayed T'Challa / Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) until his death in August 2020. Newby suggested that the series could further explore the character M'Baku and the Jabari Tribe; N'Jadaka / Erik "Killmonger" Stevens's mercenary past; T'Challa's father T'Chaka and his time as Black Panther; or the Dora Milaje, Wakanda's all-female special forces. Newby also noted several comic book characters that the series could introduce to the MCU: Bashenga, the first Black Panther; teenage activist Queen Divine Justice who joins the Dora Milaje; or NYPD officer Kasper Cole / White Tiger, who also takes on the mantle of Black Panther.
 
Proximity Media was developing several series set in Wakanda by November 2022. In March 2023, journalist Jeff Sneider reported that Coogler and Disney were developing an animated series with the tentative title ''The Golden City'', referring to the Wakandan capital city Birnin Zana; a production listing gave ''Golden City'' as the working title for the initial Wakanda-set drama series. The following month, Marvel Studios executive Nate Moore said they had discussed multiple ideas for featuring ''Black Panther'' characters in Disney+ series but they were wary about detracting from the "cinematic experience" of the franchise. In December, Marvel Studios Animation head Brad Winderbaum officially announced the animated series ''Eyes of Wakanda'' as part of a sizzle reel of the studio's upcoming series. It was revealed to focus on the stories of different Wakandan warriors throughout history. Coogler and Proximity Media were confirmed to be involved, and a showrunner was working on the series by then. Commentators discussed whether it was the same as a previously reported series focused on the Dora Milaje character Okoye. Stephanie Holland at ''The Root'' compared the series' premise to the animated ''Star Wars'' series ''Tales of the Jedi'' (2022), which similarly follows different characters at different times.
 
Former Marvel Studios storyboard artist Todd Harris was revealed in January 2024 to have pitched the series to Marvel and Coogler. Ideas for it began during the filming of ''Black Panther'', with Harris looking to combine "the interconnectivity of Marvel with the interconnectivity of history along with the interconnectivity of the human story". Later in 2024, Winderbaum said Harris created and directed the series, and he was confirmed to be the showrunner in January 2025. Harris described ''Eyes of Wakanda'' as "anthology adjacent" given each short story in each time period form a larger, continuous narrative. Harris was also an executive producer alongside Coogler, Winderbaum, Feige, D'Esposito, Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian, Kalia King, and Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt. Marvel Studios reportedly spent nearly $20 million between June 2022 and June 2023 on an animated series that was believed to be ''Eyes of Wakanda''. Each episode is 30 minutes.

=== Writing ===
''Eyes of Wakanda'' follows the Hatut Zaraze, Wakandan warriors who travel the world throughout history to retrieve dangerous vibranium artifacts. It is centered on the legacy of the Black Panther as that mantle is passed down over generations, and on the idea that Wakanda is "untethered by expansion" and hidden from the rest of the world. Harris said the Hatut Zaraze were "Wakanda's CIA" whose loyalty is tested on their missions, calling the series a "giant spy-espionage" that spans time. ''Eyes of Wakanda'' begins at the end of the Western Bronze Age, with the first episode taking place in the year 1260 BC. The series is set in the MCU's "Sacred Timeline" along with the films and live-action series, differentiating it from Marvel Animation's earlier series which are set in alternate universes from the main MCU. The creative team worked back from the "existing framework" of the films when developing the series' stories. ''Eyes of Wakanda'' focuses more on Wakandan principles rather than a distant relative of a known Wakandan character in the present. Marc Bernardin, who worked as a writer on the video game ''Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra'' (2025), wrote two episodes by December 2023. He worked on them for nine months during the COVID-19 pandemic. Matthew Chauncey also wrote for the series after doing so for the Marvel Studios series ''What If...?'' (2021–2024) and ''Ms. Marvel'' (2022).
=== Casting ===
 
[[Nicholas Barnett]] was cast in May 2025 as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, leading the series as a younger, emotionally complex version of the character navigating fractured timelines. [[Cailey Fleming]] joined the cast shortly after as Mayday Parker, Peter's daughter from a dystopian future, in what was described as a "central emotional anchor" for the multiversal narrative. That same month, [[India Eisley]] was announced as Felicia Hardy / Black Cat, described by insiders as a morally ambiguous ally with a personal stake in the timeline’s collapse. In June, [[Justice Smith]] was confirmed to portray Miguel O’Hara / Spider-Man 2099, a strict temporal enforcer in direct conflict with Peter’s reckless actions. [[Tom Sturridge]], known for his ethereal performance in ''The Sandman'', was cast as The Time Weaver, a cryptic figure guiding Peter through alternate realities. [[Maxwell Jenkins]] was revealed as a younger timeline variant of Peter Parker, while [[Emily Browning]] joined the ensemble as a grief-stricken Ghost-Spider from a broken universe. Also cast were [[Brady Noon]] as Spider-Punk, [[Ben Schnetzer]] as the villainous Chrono-Goblin, and [[Nina Hoss]] as the time-manipulating antagonist Madame Chrona. Rounding out the cast were [[David Thewlis]] as the twisted geneticist Dr. Elias Warren / The Jackal, [[Alexandra Shipp]] as a militarized variant Jessica Drew / Spider-Woman, and [[Sami Bray]] as Anna-May Parker.
=== Casting and voice recording ===
Winnie Harlow, Cress Williams, Patricia Belcher, Larry Herron, Adam Gold, Lynn Whitfield, Jacques Colimon, Jona Xiao, Isaac Robinson-Smith, Gary Anthony Williams, Zeke Alton, Steve Toussaint, and Anika Noni Rose were revealed to have been cast in the series in November 2024. Cress voices a character called the Lion. In May 2025, Harlow was revealed to be voicing a character named Noni, while Harris said Rose played a "crucial role" in the series.
 
=== Animation and design ===
Animation for the series is provided by Axis Animation, with Studio AKA animating a hand-drawn opening sequence. ''Eyes of Wakanda'' features a hand-painted animation style inspired by contemporary African-American artists such as Ernie Barnes, as well as illustrator Dean Cornwell; Barnes' style served as inspiration for the characters' exaggerated proportions in the series. The animators also looked at contemporary international art starring in the present and working backwards to find common themes that could translate to Wakandan influence throughout history. Work on character designs and animatics occurred by the series' announcement in December 2023. Harris said the ambitious series could only be made with animation due to the locations and time periods depicted, explaining that in animation "Egypt costs just as much as New York City, and the Moon costs just as much as Ohio".
