[Spider-Noir](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_Noir) Season 1 is one of the most inventive superhero projects in years — and it’s almost here.

## When and Where to Watch Spider-Noir?

If you’re in the US and subscribe to **MGM+** (available as a Prime Video add-on at $7.99/month or via cable), you can watch from **May 25, 2026**. The entire eight-episode season drops at once.

For everyone else — and for Prime Video subscribers in the US who don’t have MGM+ — the full season arrives on **Prime Video on May 27, 2026**. It is a complete season drop, no weekly waiting.

The two-day gap is the main catch. MGM+ is a Sony-Amazon co-production partner, so getting first access requires that extra subscription. If you’d rather wait two days and keep things simple, Prime Video on May 27 is your date.

## What Is Spider-Noir About?

*Spider-Noir* is a live-action series based on the Marvel Comics title *Spider-Man Noir*, first published in 2009. Critically, this is **not a spin-off from the animated Spider-Verse films** — it’s a separate, alternate-universe take on the character, as confirmed by the showrunner.

The story follows **Ben Reilly** (Cage), a battle-worn private investigator living in 1930s New York. After a deeply personal tragedy, he walked away from his former life as the city’s only spider-powered vigilante — known simply as The Spider. The series picks up when a deadly new case forces him back into the mask.

Cage has described his performance as a mix of Humphrey Bogart’s world-weariness and the cartoon energy of Bugs Bunny. That combination — pulpy, dark, absurdist, and character-driven — is exactly what the show appears to be delivering.

## Full Cast

| Character | Actor |
| --- | --- |
| Ben Reilly / Spider-Noir | Nicolas Cage |
| Robbie Robertson (journalist) | Lamorne Morris |
| Cat Hardy (nightclub singer) | Li Jun Li |
| Flint Marko / Sandman | Jack Huston |
| Silvermane (Irish mob boss) | Brendan Gleeson |
| Tombstone / Longie Lincoln | Abraham Popoola |
| Janet | Karen Rodriguez |

## The Black-and-White vs. Colour Choice — What’s the Difference?

This is the show’s most unique technical feature. Every episode of *Spider-Noir* exists in two versions:

**Authentic Black & White** — Shot using black-and-white cameras and period-accurate filtration to genuinely replicate the look and feel of 1930s noir cinema. This is the “artistically intended” version.

**True-Hue Full Color** — The same footage rendered in full colour, which Cage himself says works especially well for younger viewers and brings more of a comic-book panel energy to the visuals.

Both versions are available simultaneously on MGM+ and Prime Video. You can choose which to watch — or watch both.
