Overview
- All eight episodes of Spider‑Noir were broadcast on MGM+ linear in the U.S. and became available worldwide on Prime Video, with the global streaming release landing on Wednesday May 27, 2026.
- The series was shot and presented in two versions—an 'Authentic Black and White' cut and a 'True‑Hue Full Color' cut—with Nicolas Cage and the cinematography specifically designed for the monochrome edition.
- Nicolas Cage stars as Ben Reilly, a weary 1930s private investigator who must again take the mantle of The Spider, and the cast and creative team include showrunner Oren Uziel and executive producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
- Early critical aggregation on Rotten Tomatoes shows a strong positive reception from critics who praise Cage’s performance and the show’s stylistic commitment while a minority of reviews call it style‑heavy and thin on substance.
- The release strategy—an MGM+ linear U.S. premiere not carried on the MGM+ streaming app followed by exclusive global streaming on Prime Video—positions the show as a standalone test case for genre‑driven, non‑MCU Spider projects and could shape future franchise moves.
