In a major announcement at Amazon’s inaugural upfront presentation, MGM+ and Prime Video revealed the order of Noir, a live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir.
The series will feature Academy Award-winning actor Nicolas Cage (Pig, Dream Scenario) in the leading role. Emmy Award-winning director Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) is set to direct and executive produce the first two episodes.
Oren Uziel (The Lost City, 22 Jump Street) and Steve Lightfoot (Marvel’s The Punisher, Shantaram) will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. The series is being developed in collaboration with the Academy Award-winning team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal, who will also serve as executive producers.
Noir will debut domestically on MGM+’s linear channel, followed by a global launch on Prime Video, available in more than 240 countries and territories. This initiative underlines Prime Video’s commitment to providing a comprehensive entertainment experience through a single membership.
The series follows the story of an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who must confront his past life as the city’s sole superhero.
