With new seasons of The Boys, Invincible and now Spider-Noir, Prime Video isn't at all void of superhero shows in 2026. You can stream the new live-action Spidey series starring Nicolas Cage in just a few days.

In Spider-Noir, Cage plays Ben Reilly, an aging private investigator in 1930s New York who abandoned his superhero alter-ego after a tragedy, according to Prime Video. The show also stars Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson, a journalist and Ben's best friend; Li Jun Li as nightclub singer Cat Hardy; Karen Rodriguez as Ben's secretary, Janet; and Jack Huston, Brendan Gleeson and Abraham Popoola.

The new series is based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir, and it isn't a spin-off of the animated Spider-Verse films, although Cage voiced Spider-Noir in 2018's Into the Spider-Verse. You can stream the eight-episode season in either "Authentic Black & White" or "True-Hue Full Color." Unsure what you prefer? Here are trailers for the former and latter versions to help you choose. 

When to stream Spider-Noir on Prime Video

Viewers in the US can watch the complete first season of Spider-Noir as early as 12 a.m. PT (3 a.m. ET) on Wednesday, May 27.

The default, ad-supported version of Prime Video comes with a Prime membership, which runs $15 per month or $139 per year. A standalone Prime Video subscription without Prime costs $9 per month. You can opt to pay an extra $5 per month to remove commercials.

Other ways to watch Spider-Noir

If you want to watch Spider-Noir ahead of its Prime Video launch, you'll also be able to tune into the first season via the MGM Plus linear broadcast channel (but not the MGM Plus streaming app) on Monday, May 25.

If you don't have cable, you may be able to access the ad-free MGM Plus channel with a live TV streaming service such as Philo or YouTube TV, which offer an $8-per-month MGM Plus add-on. This route may be worth it to you if you want to watch Spider-Noir two days before its Prime Video drop.

Alamo Drafthouse is also screening the first two episodes in some locations on May 25, but as of this writing, I only spotted a handful of seats left in Raleigh and San Francisco. You can reserve a spot by purchasing a refundable food and beverage voucher.

Amazon recently rebranded its ad-free offering to Prime Video Ultra, effectively raising the price of commercial-free streaming by $2. Additionally, 4K UHD streaming is now exclusive to those paying the extra fee. Here's more about the change and what to watch with your subscription.
