Prime Video’s new Nicolas Cage superhero series, Spider-Noir, briefly climbed to No. 1 on the streamer’s U.S. and Global Top 10 charts earlier this week before Off Campus took the top spot back. The swing was quick, and it showed how fast the platform’s most watched shows can change from one day to the next.
Cage leads Spider-Noir as Ben Reilly, a weary private investigator in 1930s New York whose new case drags him back into the life he tried to leave behind as the city’s only masked hero, once known as The Spider. The series, which can be watched in black-and-white or color, arrived on May 27 and has already drawn a 91% critic rating and a 93% viewer rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
That early surge mattered because Prime Video’s U.S. and Global Top 10 charts are the clearest public gauge of what the service is pushing to the front of the feed. Spider-Noir gave the platform a fast-moving new hit, but Off Campus, which landed on May 13, reclaimed No. 1 and was the most popular show on the streamer overall for the week of May 25 to May 31, according to Amazon News.
The return to the top was not a surprise to viewers already following Off Campus, an eight-episode series based on Elle Kennedy’s books and backed by a 93% critics score and an 88% Popcornmeter rating. Prime Video renewed it months before season 1 premiered, and season 2 is already set to follow the third book, The Score, with Hannah’s best friend Allie and Garrett’s buddy Dean at the center.
That leaves Spider-Noir with an immediate question that no ranking can answer yet: whether its noir take on the Spider-Man mythos can hold its audience after the launch-week spike fades. For now, the answer is simple — it got the crown, then lost it to a show that had already built its own momentum.
