Spider-Noir has won multiple Emmy Awards in 2026, notably for its opening sequence and the episode's visual effects in "Nightmare on a Gurney." The Nicolas Cage-led series is now streaming on Prime Video in France as of May 27, 2026. He portrays Ben Reilly, a private detective in 1930s New York who is forced to confront a superhero past after a personal tragedy.
Adapted from the Marvel character Spider-Man Noir, the Sony Pictures Television production for MGM+ and Prime Video blends crime investigation with superhero storytelling. Ben Reilly tries to ply his trade in a city scarred by the Great Depression, as his former powers and past decisions become impossible to ignore once again.
The producers are offering two ways to experience the episodes: an “Authentic Black & White” version and a “True Color” version. This isn’t just a marketing gimmick: it lets viewers choose how to visually read this detective tale, whose sets, costumes, and lighting borrow from classic film noir aesthetics.
Watch the opening minutes in black and white:
Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston and Brendan Gleeson are among the lead cast, with Lukas Haas, Cameron Britton, Amanda Schull, Amy Aquino, Andrew Robinson and Kai Caster also in the lineup. Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot are the showrunners; Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Amy Pascal developed the project. Harry Bradbeer directed the first two episodes.
Cinematography, stunt coordination, sound editing and title design round out its technical tally. These awards focus on the show's visual identity and production, not the prize for best drama series. Check out our Emmy Awards 2026 winners list.
