Prime Video's neo-noir series Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage, has won five Emmy Awards despite being cancelled after a single season, prompting criticism that the streamer axed a genuine hit. The show had earned strong critical and audience acclaim, spent over two months atop Prime Video's streaming charts, and received 11 Emmy nominations, more than any other Prime Video series this year, making its cancellation last week particularly striking to fans and industry observers.

The series ultimately won awards for Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Special Visual Effects, Best Stunt Coordination and Best Main Title Design, and holds Rotten Tomatoes scores of 92% from critics and 89% from audiences. It followed private eye Ben Reilly, played by Cage, alongside Lamorne Morris and Brendan Gleeson, and was unconnected to the Spider-Verse animated films. Its cancellation echoes that of Marvel's Wonder Man, another acclaimed 2026 series dropped despite an initial renewal, fuelling fan pushback against Prime Video and calls for Spider-Noir to be revived for a second season.
