‘Spider-Noir’ Canceled After One Season As Prime Video Eyes Greenlight For Another Series Based On Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters

Deadline · 1 hour ago

Prime Video has cancelled Spider-Noir, the Nicolas Cage-led superhero series, after a single season, despite strong critical and awards reception. The show was the first to air under a multi-title partnership between Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television drawing on Sony's Universe of Marvel Characters, and its cancellation follows the earlier scrapping of a related spinoff, Silk, though the wider studio partnership is continuing with other projects in development.

Spider-Noir earned a 92% critics score and 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and 11 Emmy nominations, the most of any Prime Video series in 2026, and launched at No.2 on Nielsen's US Top 10, racking up 2.6 billion viewing minutes in its first six weeks. However, it lost momentum quickly compared with other Prime Video hits, and its high production costs, from filming both colour and black-and-white versions, likely tipped the cost-versus-performance calculation against renewal. Season one largely wrapped up its story, meaning fans are left with only minor loose ends, and Amazon is reportedly close to greenlighting another series from its Sony partnership.

  • Spider-Noir cancelled after one season despite acclaim and Emmy nods.
  • High production costs likely outweighed decent but fading viewership.
  • Amazon-Sony partnership continues, with another series nearing greenlight.
