Prime Video Cancels Nicolas Cage’s Spider‑Noir After One Season

Prime Video said a cost‑versus‑performance assessment made a second season uneconomical, with Amazon and Sony continuing work on other SonyMarvel series.

Overview

  • Prime Video announced the cancellation on Friday, and all eight episodes remain available to stream.
  • The series drew strong critical and audience praise, holding about a 92% critics score and a 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and earning 11 Emmy nominations.
  • Nielsen data showed roughly 2.6 billion viewing minutes in the first six weeks, but the show lost week‑to‑week retention and dropped quickly from Prime Video’s daily Top 10.
  • Reporting points to high production costs as a key factor because episodes were filmed in both black‑and‑white and color and required period sets, effects and a star cast.
  • Amazon and Sony say their multi‑title TV deal will continue with multiple projects in development and one reportedly nearing a series order, a shift that leaves Spider‑Noir’s cast and crew without an immediate second‑season runway.
