Coastal House Media Prime Video’s Spider-Noir will not be returning for a second season.
The live-action Marvel series starring Nicolas Cage has been canceled after one season, bringing an early end to one of Sony’s more unusual attempts to expand its Spider-Man universe on television.
Spider-Noir debuted earlier this year, with Cage starring as Ben Reilly, an aging private investigator living in 1930s New York who is forced to confront his past as the city’s masked superhero known as The Spider.
The eight-episode series premiered on MGM+ before arriving globally on Prime Video on May 27. One of the show’s biggest creative hooks was giving viewers the option to watch the entire series in either black and white or full color.
Despite its short run, Spider-Noir was well received by critics and audiences. The series currently holds a 92% critics score and 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The cancellation also comes as Sony continues to reassess its larger collection of Marvel projects based on characters connected to Spider-Man. The studio’s recent live-action efforts have struggled to build the kind of interconnected franchise once envisioned around films such as Morbius, Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter.
Cage’s involvement made Spider-Noir particularly notable. The actor previously voiced Spider-Man Noir in 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse before making the jump to live action for the Prime Video series.
The cast also included Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson, Li Jun Li as Cat Hardy, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston and Brendan Gleeson.
The series was developed by Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, with Spider-Verse filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller among its executive producers alongside Amy Pascal and Cage.
While Spider-Noir will end after a single season, all eight episodes remain available to stream on Prime Video.
