Canceled "Spider-Noir" Series Snags Five Emmys Just Two Days After Ax; Nicolas Cage-Led Show Won't Return for Season 2

The Marvel superhero series "Spider-Noir", starring Nicolas Cage, was recently reported to have been canceled by Prime Video. Yet, just two days later, the show swept up five awards at the 78th Creative Arts Emmy Awards in 2026, marking a dramatic final achievement for the one-season production.

"Spider-Noir" garnered 11 nominations this year, ultimately taking home five major awards: Outstanding Main Title Design, Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series, Outstanding Cinematography for a Series, Outstanding Visual Effects in a Single Episode, and Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Comedy Program.

However, just two days before the awards ceremony, foreign media outlets reported that Prime Video had decided not to renew the series. Responding to the news, Cage told Deadline, "For me, one season was perfect. I've said all I wanted to say through this dangerous, innovative, pop-art-infused Spider-Man."

Based on the Marvel Comics character, "Spider-Noir" is set in 1930s New York, with Cage starring as Ben Reilly, an aging private investigator who battles criminals while confronting his past. The series also offered viewers two modes: a black-and-white version and a full-color version.

After winning the Stunt Coordination award, the stunt team was asked if the win might prompt Prime Video to reconsider its decision. They jokingly replied, "I wish! Tell us who to call! That's not our department."

Cage previously voiced Spider-Man Noir in the 2018 animated film "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse". Although the live-action series won't continue, its five Emmy wins leave a remarkable legacy for its inaugural season.
