Nicolas Cage's "Spider-Man" spin-off series, ">"Spider-Noir," is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on May 27. Even before its debut, co-showrunner Oren Uziel has already offered a glimpse into the direction of future seasons during a recent interview.

Uziel told Gamesradar+ that while the first season is set in 1933 New York, subsequent seasons would inevitably advance the timeline, reaching 1939, the outbreak of World War II. "Obviously, as the show's timeline progresses from 1933, we're not only dealing with the financial turmoil of New York but also a geopolitical struggle that will provide incredible fodder for future seasons," Uziel stated. He added that this progression, however, hinges entirely on the first season's success and subsequent renewals to allow the story to reach that pivotal historical period.

Uziel also hinted that other "Spider-Man" variant spin-off projects, similar in nature to "Spider-Noir," are currently in development. "I'm only focused on 'Spider-Noir,' but I know there are other related projects in development," he revealed. "I've had a brief chat with the people involved in those, and I think they're all very exciting. They're somewhat similar to the 'Spider-Noir' model, integrating a Spider-Man variant character into an existing genre framework and improving upon it. This opens up a whole new creative world, a very exciting opportunity."

Uziel clarified that integrating into a genre framework means blending the unique characteristics of different Spider-Man variants with a specific story type. For instance, "Spider-Noir" is established as a 1930s detective, so his story is directly adapted into an old Hollywood-style film noir. However, Uziel did not specify which variant projects would adopt the same formula as "Spider-Noir," leaving their official reveal for a later date.
