A live-action series based on the Marvel comic “Spider-Noir” tells the story of Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage), a seasoned, down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life, following a deeply personal tragedy, as the city’s one and only superhero.
Back in the day, Reilly was the superhero known as “The Spider”.
After a personal tragedy, he stepped away from his heroic alter ego. Only an extraordinary case could call this down-on-his-luck private investigator to drop the ordinary man act and put his mask back on.
Produced by Sony Pictures Television exclusively for MGM+ and Prime Video. Lamorne Morris plays Robbie Robertson, a hard-working journalist in 1930s New York City, willing to take on risky stories to make a name for himself.
Harry Bradbeer directed, and executive produced the first two episodes. Oren Uziel (“22 Jump Street”) and Steve Lightfoot serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Uziel and Lightfoot developed the series with the Academy Award-winning team behind “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal.
“Spider-Noir” is not a spin-off of the 2018 “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” film. This series is set in a stand-alone universe and isn’t directly tied to or a continuation of any Sony or Marvel films.
For the first time ever viewers can choose their own adventure as the series will be available to stream in two ways, in “Authentic Black & White” and “True-Hue Full Color.” Viewers can experience the story in two different visual styles.
The series will premiere May 25 on MGM+’s linear channel and globally on Prime Video May 27.
