Amazon’s “Spider-Noir” received five Emmy Awards despite the show’s cancellation announcement just days prior. Co-creator and showrunner Oren Uziel discussed potential storylines for a second season and the bittersweet celebration of the show’s success.
Prime Video announced the cancellation of “Spider-Noir” on Friday. Two days later, the series earned a record-breaking five Emmy wins for a series canceled after its first season, surpassing previous records held by “Lovecraft Country” (2020) and “My World And Welcome to It” (1969), which each won two.
Oren Uziel stated, “We haven’t gotten there yet,” regarding any attempts to revive the show, adding, “I literally do not know the legalities and complications of that. But I expect that it’s a complicated proposition.” He had already begun brainstorming ideas for a potential Season 2, envisioning a shift in location. “If I had my druthers, it would be probably another location,” Uziel said. “There are so many L.A. noirs we could have dove into. There are European noirs we could have dove into. There are other places to go. You’re starting in 1933. Where is that heading? It’s heading toward just a most cataclysmic time — World War II.” He also suggested moving the setting to Los Angeles, given that Season 1, set in New York, was filmed there.
Uziel described the Emmy experience as particularly special, noting it was his first TV show and Emmys attendance. “We had 11 nominations, which meant we had 11 groups of crew members there. It felt like everybody that I had made the show with was there, because they kind of were.” He initially worried the cancellation announcement would overshadow the celebration, but the wins transformed the event into a celebration of the team’s accomplishments. The show won awards for stunt performance, sound editing for a comedy or drama series (one hour), title design, special visual effects in a single episode, and cinematography for a series (one hour). Uziel noted the snowball effect of the wins, comparing the excitement to supporting children’s successes in a softball game. Nicolas Cage played Ben Reilly, who retained his powers at the end of Season 1, potentially setting up a new case in a second season.
