Spider-Noir — Prime Video’s live-action superhero noir series — premieres on Prime Video India on May 27, 2026, with all eight episodes dropping at once.

In a first for any superhero series, the show will be available in both black-and-white and colour versions. Variety confirmed the May premiere date alongside the official trailer, calling the show Prime Video’s most visually distinctive superhero project yet.

What Is Spider-Noir About?
Set entirely in 1930s New York City, Spider-Noir follows Ben Reilly — an ageing, down-on-his-luck private investigator who is quietly haunted by his past life as the Spider, the only superhero of his era. Ben has tried to leave that chapter behind and live a quiet life working cases. But when a gangland boss named Silvermane (Brendan Gleeson) becomes the subject of repeated and increasingly brazen assassination attempts, Ben finds himself pulled back into a world of crime, power, and the kind of violence that only a spider-powered detective can navigate.

The show leans fully into its noir identity — rain-slicked streets, moral ambiguity, fedoras, and a protagonist who is as much detective as he is superhero. The dual release in black-and-white and colour is not a gimmick: the B&W version is designed as the definitive visual experience, with the colour cut offered as an alternative for viewers who prefer it. Amazon MGM Studios described the show as a completely standalone superhero story — no prior knowledge of the Spider-Man mythology required to enjoy it.
Is Spider-Noir Connected to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse?
Yes — and that connection is at the heart of the show’s appeal. Nicolas Cage first voiced Spider-Man Noir in the 2018 Oscar-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, where the 1930s noir Spider-Man was one of the alternate-universe variants helping Miles Morales save the multiverse. Cage’s deadpan portrayal of the vintage superhero became one of the film’s most beloved elements, and Spider-Noir the series is a direct expansion of that character — now fully realised in live action.

The creative continuity goes beyond casting. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller — the directors and producers who won the Academy Award for Into the Spider-Verse — are executive producers on the series alongside Amy Pascal. About Amazon confirmed the full producing team, ensuring the show carries the same creative DNA as the animated film while carving out its own distinct live-action identity. For Indian fans who loved Into the Spider-Verse — a massive hit in India when it released in 2018 — Spider-Noir is the continuation of that story in a format no one expected.
Who Stars in Spider-Noir?
Nicolas Cage leads the series as Ben Reilly / The Spider, in his first lead role in a television series — a significant milestone for one of Hollywood’s most eclectic stars. The ensemble includes Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li as Cat Hardy, Karen Rodriguez as Janet, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston as Flint Marko (Sandman), and Brendan Gleeson as the formidable Silvermane. The guest cast spans Lukas Haas, Cameron Britton, Amanda Schull, and Scott MacArthur among others — filling out the 1930s New York world with a deep bench of character performers.
Where Can You Watch Spider-Noir in India?
Spider-Noir streams exclusively on Prime Video India from May 27, 2026. All eight episodes are available on launch day. The series is expected to be the most visually striking superhero show of the year — and with the team behind Into the Spider-Verse and Nicolas Cage finally in live action, it is also one of the most eagerly anticipated Prime Video originals of 2026.
