- Prime Video canceled 'Spider-Noir' after one eight-episode season, ending the streamer's first Marvel-related series under its deal with Sony Pictures TV.
- 'Spider-Noir' earned 11 Emmy nominations — the most of any Prime Video program this year — and maintains a 92% critics score and 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Nicolas Cage starred as Ben Reilly in his first regular TV role, portraying a down-on-his-luck private investigator and former superhero in 1930s New York.
- Amazon and Sony are moving forward with a second series from their live-action partnership, which is already in development and expected to be announced soon.
- MGM+ and Prime Video jointly premiered the show, with the first episode airing May 25 on MGM+ and streaming on Prime Video the following day, available in both color and black & white.
Why it matters: Despite high acclaim and awards momentum, 'Spider-Noir’s' cancellation signals that even well-reviewed shows under major studio deals can be cut quickly if they don’t meet unmet viewership or strategic thresholds. The decision sidelines a flagship project for Amazon and Sony’s Marvel collaboration just as it gained industry recognition.
