Prime Video’s Best Sci-Fi Detective Series Is Officially One of Marvel’s Most Acclaimed Shows Ever
Marvel enjoyed a strong showing at the 78th Emmy Award nominations, with its television output collecting 12 nods in total. The standout was Spider-Noir, the Nicolas Cage-led superhero crime drama on Prime Video, which secured 11 nominations — the second-highest tally of any Marvel TV title ever, behind only WandaVision's 23 in 2021. The recognition matters because it marks a notable creative high for Marvel Television and highlights a hit that streams on Amazon's platform rather than Disney+.
Spider-Noir's nominations came in craft categories such as production design, music, prosthetic makeup, cinematography and stunt performance, reflecting its stylised classic-noir presentation, though it missed out on acting and Outstanding Drama recognition. Created by Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, the series stars Cage as Ben Reilly, a down-on-his-luck private eye and former superhero in 1930s New York, supported by Lamorne Morris, Karen Rodriguez and Li Jun Li. Separately, Wonder Man's Yahya Abdul-Mateen II earned a nod for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series — Marvel Television's first acting nomination in five years.
- Spider-Noir landed 11 Emmy nominations, second-most for any Marvel TV show.
