Overview
- The series, which held its world premiere Wednesday in New York, rolls out on MGM+’s linear channel May 25 in the U.S. and streams worldwide on Prime Video May 27.
- Cage leads as Ben Reilly, a weary private investigator in 1930s New York who once wore the mask, marking a departure from the familiar Peter Parker version.
- Viewers will get two cuts at launch, an “Authentic Black & White” edition and a “True‑Hue Full Color” version, a dual release Amazon requested and the team built for from the start.
- Showrunners Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot shaped it like a Bogart‑era detective story with Spider‑powers, and they say the case‑of‑the‑week format could support more seasons.
- Co‑creator Fabrice Sapolsky says the adaptation diverges from his comic and links changes such as renaming the lead to legal considerations, underscoring the project’s standalone approach.
