Amazon's Prime Video has cancelled "Spider-Noir" after a single eight-episode season, ending the Nicolas Cage-led drama despite strong critical acclaim and a leading 11 Emmy nominations for a Prime Video series this year. The decision is notable because the show holds a 92% critics' score and 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it an unusually well-reviewed casualty, and it marked Cage's first regular television role. "Spider-Noir" was also significant as the first series to emerge from Amazon's partnership with Sony Pictures TV to adapt characters from Sony's Marvel universe, following the earlier scrapping of a planned series called "Silk: Spider Society."

Based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man Noir, the show was set in 1930s Depression-era New York and starred Cage as private investigator Ben Reilly, alongside Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li and Brendan Gleeson. It premiered on MGM+ in May before moving to Prime Video, racking up 2.6 billion streaming minutes in its first six weeks, and its Emmy nods span categories including production design, cinematography and stunt work. Sony says a second series from its Amazon partnership, drawing on its pool of over 900 Spider-Man-related characters, is already in development and due to be announced soon.
