Spider-Noir

Spider-Noir is an upcoming American noir superhero television series developed by Oren Uziel for MGM+, based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Spider-Man Noir. The series follows an aging private investigator and superhero in an alternate version of 1930s New York City who grapples with his past life. Uziel served as co-showrunner with Steve Lightfoot. Produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with Lord Miller Productions, Pascal Pictures, and Amazon MGM Studios, it is intended to be part of Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU).

Nicolas Cage stars as Spider-Man Noir, after voicing a version of the character in Sony's animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), with Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Li Jun Li, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston, and Karen Rodriguez also starring. The series was revealed to be in development in February 2023, with Uziel involved, and Lightfoot was hired that December. Cage's casting was confirmed in May 2024 when the series was ordered and titled Noir before it was retitled Spider-Noir that July. Filming took place in Los Angeles from August 2024 to March 2025, using black-and-white cameras to capture the series' film noir style.

Spider-Noir is set to debut on MGM+ in 2026 and will consist of eight episodes.

An aging, down on his luck private investigator grapples with his past life as the only superhero in 1930s New York City.

Other actors cast in undisclosed recurring roles are Cameron Britton, Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, Amanda Schull, Andrew Lewis Caldwell, Amy Aquino, and Andrew Robinson.

The series will consist of eight episodes, set to be released in 2026, with Harry Bradbeer directing the first two episodes. Nzingha Stewart also served as a director of the series. Co-showrunner Oren Uziel wrote the first and final episodes; the second episode was written by Christopher Chen; Megan Liao and co-showrunner Steve Lightfoot co-wrote the third; Tori Sampson wrote the fourth; Jennifer Frazin and Lightfoot co-wrote the fifth; Jack Henderson wrote the sixth; and Bruce Marshall Romans wrote the seventh.

Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman Tony Vinciquerra stated in March 2019 that Sony's shared universe of Spider-Man–related properties, known as Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU), would be expanding to television with a set of Marvel Comics projects developed by Sony Pictures Television. The studio was "essentially internally auditioning" characters from the 900 it could access to decide which medium they would appear in. After their work on Sony's animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), Phil Lord and Christopher Miller signed their production company Lord Miller Productions to an overall deal with Sony Pictures Television in April 2019 to develop multiple television series for the studio, including their Marvel-based series, which could potentially include characters from Into the Spider-Verse as well as live-action properties. Select projects would be produced in conjunction with Amy Pascal, a frequent producer of the Spider-Man films, with the intention for Lord and Miller to reboot the Spider-Man property for television. By September 2020, Sony was in talks with Amazon Prime Video for the latter to be the streaming distributor for Sony's "suite" of Marvel-based television series.

Sony Pictures Television was revealed in February 2023 to be developing a television series based on the Spider-Man Noir character for MGM+ and Prime Video. Oren Uziel developed the series with Lord, Miller, and Pascal, who all serve as executive producers, with Uziel writing the series. In December, Amazon hired Steve Lightfoot, who was the showrunner of the Marvel Television series The Punisher (2017–2019), to serve as co-showrunner and an executive producer alongside Uziel. Amazon officially ordered and titled the series Noir in May 2024, when Harry Bradbeer joined to direct and executive produce the first two episodes, with Nzingha Stewart serving as another directing. Pavlina Hatoupis as well as Lord Miller president Aditya Sood and Dan Shear, the EVP and head of television, also executive produce the series, which is produced by Sony Pictures Television, Lord Miller, Pascal Pictures, and Amazon MGM Studios. The series was retitled Spider-Noir to better highlight its connections to the Spider-Man universe that July, when it was revealed to consist of eight 45-minute long episodes. Lesley Goldberg at Puck reported in August 2024 that Sony was not expected to renew its overall deal with Lord and Miller after the duo disagreed with the studio on the series' budget. By the end of 2024, Sony was reported to no longer be developing further films for its franchise at that time and was instead focusing on other projects, such as Spider-Noir.
