Developing story first seen 39 minutes ago
Prime Video has cancelled the Nicolas Cage-led superhero drama "Spider-Noir" after a single eight-episode season, a decision that contradicts the show's strong reception among critics and audiences alike. The series achieved a 92% critics' score and 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes whilst earning 11 Emmy nominations for a Prime Video production, metrics that would typically support renewal rather than cancellation.
The cancellation represents the end of the first series to premiere under Amazon MGM Studios' multi-year partnership with Sony Pictures Television for content derived from Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters. The decision points to a potential strategic recalibration in Amazon's Marvel content approach, suggesting the company is reconsidering its commitment to the Sony deal despite the series demonstrating strong audience engagement and critical recognition.
