Los Angeles: Nicolas Cage-starrer 'Spider-Noir' will not be developed further. The Prime Video/MGM+ series has been cancelled after its first season.
According to Deadline, 'Spider-Noir' was the second series ordered and the first to make it to the screen under a multi-title deal between Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, based on intellectual property from Sony Pictures' Universe of Marvel Characters. The first, 'Spider-Man' spinoff 'Silk', was ultimately scrapped.
Amazon was expected to wait and see how 'Spider-Noir' performed before making a decision on other shows. While the Nicolas Cage-led series will not continue, the Amazon-Sony TV collaboration it was part of will.
The two sides are continuing development on multiple projects, with one of them said to be nearing a series order. Its concept is being kept under wraps. All shows under the deal have a linear debut on Amazon's MGM+ platform, followed by a streaming release on sibling Prime Video, according to Deadline.
Based on the Marvel comic 'Spider-Man Noir', the live-action 'Spider-Noir' follows Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage), a seasoned, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life following a deeply personal tragedy, as the city's only superhero.
Led by Cage, the cast also included Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston and Brendan Gleeson.
