Prime Video Cuts Ties with 'Spider-Noir' After Strong Debut, Eyes Future Marvel Series
Confirmed
In Short: Prime Video canceled 'Spider-Noir' after a promising start, but remains optimistic about developing more live-action shows based on Sony's Marvel characters.
After a strong debut that saw 'Spider-Noir' debut at No. 2 on Nielsen's U.S. Top 10 for original series, Amazon Prime Video has decided to cancel the show after its first season. Despite the positive viewership numbers, which included 851 million minutes viewed in its first week and a total of 2.6 billion minutes over six weeks, Prime Video is now focusing on other projects within the Sony Marvel IP universe.
The decision to move forward with other series is part of a multi-title deal between Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, which was expected to be contingent on the success of 'Spider-Noir.' The first project under this deal, 'Silk: Spider Society,' was scrapped, leaving 'Spider-Noir' as the first to make it to the screen.
