Amazon Cancels Spider-Noir Series

A new report has confirmed that Spider-Noir will not be getting a second season on Prime Video. While it is not continuing, another Marvel television show produced by Sony might see the light of day on the streaming platform.

Deadline revealed the cancellation in a Sept. 4 report, although Amazon did not give a specific reason as to why that happened. Deadline pointed out that while Spider-Noir had a strong debut, it dropped off Prime Video’s top 10 daily rankings faster than other popular shows like Reacher.

Amazon does not appear to be completely displeased with how the show performed. The company is apparently still interested in making more series based on Spider-Man characters that Sony has adaptation rights to. While a series based on Silk was scrapped, Deadline claims that Amazon and Sony are developing “multiple projects” together, including one for an unspecified character that is “nearing a series order.”

A second season of Spider-Noir always felt unlikely

Spider-Noir was a very weird series, so a second season was always unlikely. It is a superhero action drama with a 62-year-old lead based on his portrayal of a Spider-Man variant in Into the Spider-Verse. Prime Video let viewers watch the series in both black-and-white and color, doubling the post-production work. It also featured very different interpretations of classic Spider-Man villains like Sandman, Tombstone, and Black Cat.

It was an ambitious and unusual show that remained entertaining. Although more episodes are not happening, viewers can appreciate that one quirky season of superhero television was made at all. There was no large post-credits tease leaving audiences wondering what could come next, so Spider-Noir wrapped up nicely.

Viewers who have not seen the show yet can check out Spider-Noir on Prime Video. Both the black-and-white and color versions are available.
