According to Deadline, Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider, National Treasure) gave his thoughts on Prime Video canceling the superhero series Spider-Noir after one season.

“For me, one season is perfect, having said what I wanted to say with this dangerous, innovative, pop-art Spider-Man,” Cage said in a statement to Deadline, adding, “Onwards, upwards, inwards.”

As per Deadline, his comments on the series go back to the comments when the series first released. In both comments, he sounded unsure about the series’ renewal chances but happy with what he and the producers did in the first season. He told Variety that “whether it happens or not, all of us achieved what we set out to do, and it works on its own.”

According to Deadline, the series, praised by both reviewers and viewers, earned a 92% critics score and 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and landed 11 Emmy Award nominations, which is the most of any Prime Video series in 2026. The role was a challenge for Cage, who spoke about his challenges in the series.

“I wanted to go back to those old ’30s and ’40s movies and watch some Howard Hawks and pick up the speed of delivery from those actors,” he said in June via Deadline. “I also thought of Double Indemnity with Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck and tried to embody that essence, mannerisms and vocalization to collide it with Stan Lee’s masterpiece of Spider-Man and see what spark I could generate. Kind of like a Roy Lichtenstein painting, I wanted to do something that would be both new for me and hopefully for the viewer.”

“I was friendly to streaming a long time ago before it was cool. The media would say, ‘Oh, he’s doing straight-to-streaming movies,’ like it was unheard of, like, shame on me. But now, everything is going that way,” he told Deadlinein the same interview. “I knew streaming would ultimately keep actors working and keep the work viewable.”

Spider-Noir is available to stream on Prime Video in both black-and-white and color.
