Overview
- The eight‑episode first season was released as a binge drop on Prime Video on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, following a U.S. linear premiere on MGM+ two days earlier.
- Viewers can choose between a monochrome noir cut and a color 'True‑Hue' version, a rare streaming option intended to foreground the show's 1930s hard‑boiled atmosphere.
- Nicolas Cage plays Ben Reilly, a fallen hero turned private detective, and headlines a large supporting cast that includes Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez and Jack Huston.
- Early reviews praise the series' striking noir visuals and Cage's performance while several critics say the show suffers from uneven storytelling and limited narrative depth.
- The series adapts Marvel's Spider‑Man Noir comics and follows a character who gained wider recognition from the 2018 animated Spider‑Man: Into the Spider‑Verse, making this a high‑profile experiment in genre and format for both Prime Video and Cage.
