‘Spider-Noir’ Canceled by Amazon After One Season

“Spider-Noir,” starring Nicolas Cage, which streamed on Prime Video, has been canceled by Amazon after just a single season.

The news arrives as “Spider-Noir” garnered 11 Emmy nominations, making it Prime Video’s most-nominated show this year. The series has also earned strong audience and critical scores, boasting a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes alongside a 90% “Popcornmeter” score from viewers.

The series draws inspiration from the Marvel comic “Spider-Man Noir” and centers on Ben Reilly, a hardened private investigator navigating 1930s New York. After a devastating personal loss, he’s compelled to face the ghosts of his past. Once celebrated as the city’s sole masked hero, “The Spider,” Reilly has spent years distancing himself from that former life — until a mysterious new case forces him to reconsider the identity and responsibility he thought he had left behind.

Harry Bradbeer (“Fleabag,” “Killing Eve”) directed the series and took a rather unconventional approach, treating it as a genre piece rather than the usual Marvel claptrap. The series had co-showrunners Oren Uziel (“The Lost City,” “22 Jump Street”) and Steve Lightfoot (“Marvel’s The Punisher,” “Shantaram”), who developed it with the team behind “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” — Phil Lord and Christopher Miller — alongside Amy Pascal.

In a June 2026 interview with Variety, Cage was asked directly whether a second season was happening. His answer was essentially that he didn’t know yet. He added that, regardless of whether Season 2 happens, he feels the first season accomplished what they set out to do and worked as a standalone story.

More interestingly, though, Cage had already thought about where the show could have gone next. In an interview with Collider, he said he’d heard “inklings” of ideas for the character’s next chapter, including potentially taking his character to different cultures and countries — South America, Asia, or Europe.

No reasons were given by Amazon for the cancellation, but while the show was in production, Puck reported that Sony was not renewing its contract with Lord/Miller after both parties “endured heated fights” over the budget of “Spider-Noir.”

Lord and Miller had signed a five-year, nine-figure TV deal with the studio in 2019, with the idea being that they’d oversee a slate of Spider-Man projects. Sony was coming off comic book box-office bombs “Morbius” and “Madame Web,” and Lord/Miller were the only creatives to turn in acclaimed Spidey content for the studio.
