Two days after Prime Video canceled Spider-Noir, the Nicolas Cage–led series won five Creative Arts Emmys (cinematography, sound editing, stunt coordination, title design, and visual effects) at the weekend ceremony, a post-cancellation win that underscores its critical success; cancellation did not affect Emmy voting, and other shows like The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and Palm Royale also earned prizes.
Night 2 of the Creative Arts Emmys saw Apple TV+ dominate with eight wins for Widow’s Bay, boosting its two-night tally to 18, while HBO Max’s DTF St. Louis claimed six prizes and Prime Video’s Spider-Noir earned five after its cancellation; the ceremony also honored Rob Reiner posthumously for The Bear, Julie Andrews for Bridgerton in the voice‑over category, and introduced a Legacy Award to I Love Lucy as part of the night’s honors.
Even after Prime Video/MGM+ canceled Spider-Noir days earlier, the Nicolas Cage-led series earned 11 Emmy nominations and won five Creative Arts Emmys (stunt coordination, sound editing, title design, visual effects, and cinematography) as the Creative Arts Emmys air ahead of the Primetime ceremony.
Nicolas Cage says Spider-Noir’s one-season run was perfect and completed what they set out to do, reacting to Prime Video's cancellation after Season 1; the series, Cage’s first TV role, earned strong reviews (92% critics/90% audience on Rotten Tomatoes) and 11 Emmy nominations, and despite its high price and solid reception, Prime Video is reportedly eyeing another series tied to Sony’s Marvel Universe; Cage is shifting toward streaming projects, with Madden on Prime Video arriving November 18, and plans to continue working in the streaming space.
Prime Video has canceled Spider-Noir after a single season, citing waning viewership and high production costs for the 1930s noir series starring Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly. Sony/Amazon say other Marvel projects are still in development for Prime Video, and Cage is set to appear in future Spider-Verse entries, so this isn’t the last we’ll see of the character on screen.
Prime Video has canceled Spider-Noir after one season despite strong reviews and 11 Emmy nominations; the series marked Cage’s first regular TV role and followed Ben Reilly, a down-on-his-luck 1930s New York private investigator, across eight May-debut episodes from Sony Pictures Television and Amazon Studios.
Nicolas Cage's Spider-Noir has been canceled by Prime Video after an eight-episode first season, despite tallying 11 Primetime Emmy nominations; the noir-tinged series premiered in May on MGM+ and was released on Prime Video shortly after.
Prime Video has canceled Spider-Noir, the Nicolas Cage-led live-action take on Spider-Man Noir, after one season. The show was the second series under a multi-title deal with Sony Pictures Television, and though it earned strong critic and audience reception and multiple Emmy nominations, high production costs (including color and black-and-white versions) and cost-per-view factors led Amazon to pass on a renewal, while continuing development on other Sony/Marvel IP projects. Season 1 largely tells a complete story, with a few threads left to potentially explore in future installments under the broader deal.
Prime Video canceled Spider-Noir after eight episodes and one season, despite Emmy nominations and strong early reception (92% on Rotten Tomatoes) and 2.6 billion viewing minutes in its first six weeks. The series, starring Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly in 1930s New York, was the first live-action project from Amazon’s Sony Pictures TV Marvel pact, with a second series reportedly in development. It originally premiered on MGM+ on May 25 and then streamed on Prime Video, and the cancellation comes as Amazon continues to develop more Spider-Man-related titles.
The Boroughs led Nielsen’s U.S. streaming rankings for May 25–31 with 1.74 billion minutes watched (up ~45% week over week), Spider-Noir debuted strong on Prime Video in second, Euphoria hit a high ahead of its May 31 finale, Dutton Ranch rose about 6% on Paramount+ to 782 million minutes, Netflix’s The Four Seasons returned with 759 million minutes (down from its debut), Nemesis slipped to seventh, Handmaid’s Tale’s The Testaments appeared with 377 million, and Netflix’s The Crash remained the top movie with 564 million minutes; Nielsen’s figures cover TV viewing in the U.S. only.
In a spoiler-filled interview with Variety, Nicolas Cage breaks down the Spider-Noir Season 1 finale, detailing Ben Reilly’s return to crimefighting, the hall‑of‑mirrors showdown, Cat Hardy’s arc, and the Spider’s selfless sacrifice, while also sharing how TV production pace differs from film and hinting at whether Spider-Noir might return for a Season 2.
Prime Video’s Spider-Noir stars Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, a 1930s private investigator who operates under the Spider moniker but isn’t called Spider-Man due to Marvel’s stringent licensing rules governing the Spider-Man name, identity, and origin (including Peter Parker’s specifics). This creative workaround allows the show to tell a darker, adult-themed story while acknowledging other Spider-Man variants like Miles Morales.
Nicolas Cage says he legally changed his name to Nicolas Cage last year, and he goes by Nick Cage in life and on screen to forge his own identity; the name was inspired by Luke Cage and John Cage, and he previously used Nicolas Coppola early in his career; he will appear as Ben Reilly/The Spider in Spider-Noir on Prime Video and is set to star in a John Madden biopic.
Nicolas Cage stars as Ben Reilly in Spider-Noir, a stylish Prime Video mash-up of 1930s film noir and Spider-Man that is visually impressive but emotionally shallow; despite a strong supporting cast and a selectable black-and-white version, the show leans into style over substance and may not hook viewers beyond die-hard fans.
Nic Cage discusses his new Spider-Noir series, describing a black-and-white noir aesthetic that blends Spider-Man lore with his pop-art sensibility. He explains his evolving acting approach, including the idea of “nouveau shamanic,” and why TV’s longer arcs appealed to him after Breaking Bad inspired him to explore television. He also shares that he legally changed his name to Nic Cage, reflects on past roles and collaborations, and says True Detective Season 5 is not confirmed, keeping the door open for the right project.
