Noir' Canceled After One Season By Prime Video
Deadline • • general
Key Points:
- Prime Video has decided not to renew the superhero series Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage, for a second season despite its positive critical reception and 11 Emmy nominations.
- Spider-Noir was part of a multi-title deal between Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television based on Sony's Marvel Characters, with other projects from the collaboration still in development.
- The series launched strongly, ranking No. 2 on Nielsen’s U.S. Top 10 for original series and generating 2.6 billion viewing minutes in six weeks, but it quickly dropped off daily top rankings, impacting renewal decisions.
- High production costs, including filming both color and black-and-white versions, combined with moderate viewership, likely influenced the decision not to continue the show.
- Season 1 provided a largely complete story, minimizing unresolved plotlines for fans, and the show featured a notable cast including Nicolas Cage and was developed by prominent producers linked to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
