“Spider-Noir” canceled after one season

“Spider-Noir” will not return for a second season. Prime Video canceled the Nicolas Cage series after its first and only season, despite a strong response from fans and critics.

The show premiered in May and marked Cage’s television-series debut. It earned a 92% audience approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and received 11 Emmy nominations, the most among Prime Video productions this year. Its nominations include production design, title design, sound mixing and editing, cinematography, visual effects, stunt coordination and makeup.

Based on the comic books of the same name, the series follows Ben Reilly, a New York private investigator played by Cage. Set during the Great Depression, the story depicts Reilly struggling professionally and confronting his past after a personal tragedy.

Variety reported that Prime Video decided not to renew the series, although the reasons remain unknown. The report also said an agreement between Amazon and Sony Pictures Television covers the development of a second production, with an announcement expected soon.
