Spidey fans, listen up: we have some major news regarding the upcoming Spider-Noir series. The highly anticipated Prime Video production, starring the incomparable Nicolas Cage, is officially set to premiere domestically two days earlier than originally slated. However, there is a significant catch regarding how you can access this early window.
Early Access via MGM+ Linear Broadcast
The full series of Spider-Noir will make its debut on May 25, specifically on the MGM+ linear broadcast channel in the United States. This arrives two days ahead of the worldwide release on Prime Video, which is scheduled for May 27.
While an early release date is usually great news, this particular announcement comes with a caveat. MGM+ functions as both a cable channel in the U.S. and a premium add-on subscription for Prime Video, costing $7.99 a month.
Everything You Need to Know About the Spider-Noir Release
The rollout for the series is structured to allow certain viewers a headstart on the binge-watch. While the first two episodes were previously announced for an early release, the entire eight-episode run will now be available for MGM+ cable subscribers on the new May 25 date.
Here are the essential details regarding the premiere:
- May 25: All eight episodes become available as a binge release on the MGM+ linear broadcast channel.
- May 27: The global release arrives on Prime Video.
- Streaming Limitation: The series will not be available on the MGM+ streaming platform; it is exclusive to Prime Video.
- Global Reach: Prime Video will host the series in more than 240 countries and territories.
A Gritty New Look at the Spider-Verse
The series follows Nicolas Cage as retired gumshoe Ben Reilly. In this noir-inspired tale, Reilly is forced out of retirement to take down criminals in a gritty, 1930s New York City.
To lean into the genre's roots, the production offers a unique visual experience. Viewers will have the choice to watch the show in a subgenre-accurate black and white or in a vibrant "true hue" color mode.
