Amazon's Prime Video has canceled Nicolas Cage's live-action Marvel series, Spider-Noir, after only one season. The decision comes just four months after all eight episodes of its first season were released in May 2026.
Spider-Noir was the second Marvel series commissioned by Prime Video. While Cage's tenure as the noir-infused web-slinger has concluded, the collaboration between Amazon MGM and Sony Pictures Television, which produced the series, is expected to continue. Reports indicate that multiple superhero projects are in development, with at least one potentially nearing a series order, though specific details remain undisclosed.
The series garnered significant praise from both critics and audiences. Rotten Tomatoes registered a 92% audience score and a 90% critic score. IGN awarded Season 1 an 8/10, describing Nicolas Cage's portrayal of the detective hero as a "Bogie-meets-Bugs Bunny pulp hero" that "invigorates the highly entertaining, genre-bending Spider-Noir."
Set in 1930s New York City, Spider-Noir followed Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage), a private investigator with spider-like abilities. The cast also included Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson, Li Jun Li as Cat Hardy, and Karen Rodriguez as Janet Ruiz. Classic Marvel characters such as Sandman, played by Jack Huston, and Tombstone, portrayed by Abraham Popoola, also featured in the series.
A unique aspect of Spider-Noir was its presentation, offering viewers the option to watch the entire season in black-and-white or in color. This dual format provided a degree of personalization and encouraged rewatches.
Despite its critical success and innovative presentation, Spider-Noir's viewership numbers, as reported by Deadline, showed an initial strong performance with 2.6 billion viewing minutes in its first six weeks. However, the show eventually fell out of Prime Video's top 10 charts, a decline that may have contributed to its cancellation.
This marks another setback for Prime Video's Marvel ambitions, following the earlier cancellation of Silk: Spider Society. The future slate of superhero content from Amazon, Sony, and Prime Video remains uncertain.
