Cancelled series 'Spider-Noir' wins five Creative Arts Emmys

Prime Video/MGM+ announced the cancellation of the Nicolas Cage-led series "Spider-Noir" earlier this week, ending its run that began in May. The show, which earned 11 Emmy nominations — the most for the streamer this year — went on to win five Creative Arts Emmy awards on Sunday. The honors included stunt coordination for comedy programming, sound editing for a one-hour comedy or drama series, title design, special visual effects in a single episode, and cinematography for a series.

Supervising stunt coordinator Freddy Bouciegues and stunt coordinator Hugh Aodh O’Brien told reporters backstage that the wins came despite the cancellation, noting they would contact the network if asked to reverse the decision. > "Tell me who to call, I’ll ask them," Bouciegues said.

The series follows a fictionalized version of Ben Reilly, portrayed by Cage, as a private investigator in 1930s New York who confronts his past after a personal tragedy, according to the show's logline. The cast also includes Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston and Brendan Gleeson.

Co-showrunners and executive producers Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot oversaw the production, with Harry Bradbeer directing and executive producing the first two episodes. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, along with Aditya Sood, Dan Shear, and Amy Pascal, served as additional executive producers, while Cage and Pavlina Hatoupis also held executive producer credits.
