Prime Video has canceled Spider-Noir after one season, ending the Nicolas Cage-led series at eight episodes and ruling out a Season 2. The decision shuts down the show even as its profile rose during Emmy season.
Cage made his first regular TV appearance in the series, which cast him as Ben Reilly, a seasoned, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York. The show took place during the Great Depression and premiered on the linear MGM+ channel on May 25 before starting to stream on Prime Video the next day, with viewers able to watch it in color or black and white.
The timing makes the cancellation harder to miss. Spider-Noir entered the weekend of Emmy ceremonies with 11 nominations, a 92% Rotten Tomatoes rating and a 90% popcornmeter vote from fans, while also logging 2.6 billion viewing minutes in its first six weeks. For a series that began as the first Marvel-related title to emerge from Amazon's pact with Sony Pictures TV, those numbers made the finish feel less like a quiet cutoff than a sharp break from the momentum it had built.
That split between awards attention and a quick end is the story's real friction point. The series was adapted for television by Oren Uziel and directed in its first two episodes by Harry Bradbeer, but Prime Video has not explained why a show with that kind of reception and audience traction was stopped after one season. The first project from the same deal, Silk: Spider Society, was later scrapped, which leaves the partnership's next series to carry more weight than ever.
The second series from the Sony Pictures TV partnership is already in development and is expected to be announced soon. For now, Spider-Noir stands as a brief but unusually visible run: a TV debut for Cage, a strong performer by the numbers, and a series that still could not convert attention into a second season.
