There’s a new Spider-Man series to obsess over, and this one is set in the past. Starring Nicolas Cage as The Spider, Spider-Noir is an exciting mix of superhero shenanigans and classic black-and-white detective aesthetics.
In fact, the show is available on Prime Video in both black-and-white and colorised versions, so you can choose the one you like best.
Thankfully, that gimmick isn’t the only thing the show has going for it. The story is engaging, the performances strong, and the cinematography immaculate. Does that mean a second season is in the cards? Here’s what we know so far.
Spider-Noir Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no official news about a potential Spider-Noir season 2. That said, we’re cautiously optimistic. The show has strong reviews so far, and the general audience seems into it. Moreover, the creators are open to continuing the series.
“One of the magical things about any private detective story is, if you want another story, all it takes is another client to knock on that door, and then comes a new set of cases, a new set of problems and a new adventure to go one,” co-showrunner Oren Uziel told The Hollywood Reporter.
Star Nicolas Cage appears excited to dive deeper into the character as well. If all goes well, new episodes could arrive in a couple of years.

What Is Spider-Noir About?
Set in an alternate version of 1930s New York, Spider-Noir revolves around Ben Reilly, a burned-out private investigator and former masked vigilante known only as The Spider. Haunted by personal tragedy, Ben has abandoned his superhero identity and spends his days taking low-rent detective cases while the city sinks deeper into corruption.
However, a case drags him back into the criminal underworld. As Ben investigates, he uncovers a conspiracy involving illegal wartime experiments that created unstable superpowered individuals. At the same time, he confronts the past he tried to leave behind.
All episodes of the first season are streaming on Prime Video, culminating with an explosive finale that ties up many loose threads. Even so, there’s plenty of room to develop the story further if Spider-Noir season 2 becomes a reality. We’re keeping our fingers crossed.
