\n\tOn Friday, Amazon\u2019s Prime Video announced that \u201cSpider-Noir\u201d wouldn\u2019t be back for a Season 2.<\/a> Two days later, the series landed five wins at the Emmys Night 2 ceremony.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to awards gurus who track these things, that\u2019s the most Emmy wins ever for a series canceled after its first season. (\u201cLovecraft Country\u201d in 2020 and \u201cMy World And Welcome to It\u201d in 1969 each had two wins.)<\/p>\n

\n\tWith that Emmy success, could the streamer or Sony Pictures TV reverse course and bring \u201cSpider-Noir<\/a>\u201d back, or would Sony try to shop it elsewhere? Co-creator and showrunner Oren Uziel<\/a> isn\u2019t so sure.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe haven\u2019t gotten there yet,\u201d Uziel said of any attempts to revive \u201cSpider-Noir.\u201d \u201cI literally do not know the legalities and complications of that. But I expect that it\u2019s a complicated proposition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIf there had been a Season 2, Uziel was already kicking around some ideas. For starters, Ben Reilly (played by Nicolas Cage<\/a>), who keeps his powers as the Spider at the end of Season 1, could easily take on a new case.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIf I had my druthers, it would be probably another location,\u201d Uziel said. \u201cThere 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\u2019re starting in 1933. Where is that heading? It\u2019s heading toward just a most cataclysmic time \u2014 World War II. There was a lot of storytelling that could have happened there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason 1 of \u201cSpider-Noir\u201d was set in New York, but shot in Los Angeles. So the idea of the setting actually moving out West isn\u2019t too far-fetched. \u201cL.A. for L.A., how great would that be?\u201d Uziel said.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen reached on Wednesday, Uziel was still on a bit of a high from the Emmy wins.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s my first TV show, so it was my first Emmys experience,\u201d he said. \u201cWe 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. Even the people who weren\u2019t nominated showed up! It felt like a giant family together there to celebrate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut the timing of Friday\u2019s announcement was a bit unfortunate: It meant that the show\u2019s crew had already just been hit with bad news \u2014 would losing the Emmy sting even more? Turns out he didn\u2019t have to worry.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI thought it was going to be disappointing timing at first,\u201d Uziel said. \u201cI didn\u2019t want people to go to this big night on Sunday having to worry or think about something disappointing or sad. But the truth is, it became kind of a big celebration of what we accomplished together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThat started with the show\u2019s first win of the night, for stunt performance. But then it kept on winning: For 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).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen we won an award, we all got very excited and then, it started to snowball,\u201d Uziel said. \u201cIt felt like when you\u2019re at a softball game for your kids, and you just want them to get hits. Then they start to get hits, so you start to feel good about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the same time, the wins were bittersweet: \u201cMaking this show was the best experience of my professional life and we all got to make exactly what we set out to make. My biggest regret about not having another season is that I don\u2019t get to do it again with these people. Like I don\u2019t have the show or the movie lined up to get everybody back together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tUziel is very zen about the news. \u201cWe made a very closed-ended show. There\u2019s a reason we were honoring these old noirs. The story begins when the client comes into the private detective\u2019s office, and it ends when they solve the case. So, it was nicely buttoned up. We told a story. It felt a little bit like a long movie. So, it\u2019s bittersweet to not get right back to work with this cast and crew. But also, I have no regrets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn fact, Uziel enjoyed the \u201cSpider-Noir\u201d process so much that even without the show, he\u2019s looking to try to get the crew and stars back on another project.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s finding something fun and juicy and unexpected and singular to work with this crew on again,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat happened on Sunday [with the Emmy wins] is not a huge surprise because they\u2019re all so good at what they do. They all elevated everything that I wanted to do and I became better for working with them. So it\u2019s finding another thing and then gathering the troops and having a good time again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd yes, that includes reuniting with Cage.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve talked a bit and we feel the same way,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s sad to not do this again, but we also got to do exactly what we set out to do. And he\u2019s such a star. He\u2019s such a leading man. To make these eight episodes, his first TV show, was just a dream. So I would love to do it again with Nic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn announcing the end of \u201cSpider-Noir,\u201d Prime Video and Sony said they were close to picking up the next series in the world of Sony\u2019s Spider-Man Universe. But Uziel won\u2019t be involved.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey have people working on all those things,\u201d he said. \u201cI would always love to advise and take part because I loved it. I know like what the challenges are and what the rewards can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for the fans, Uziel suggested they go back and watch the eight-episode season again. Because the show was offered in both color and black & white, he thinks viewers should try the format they didn\u2019t watch the first time around.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was about making something that the fans of Spider-Man and noir would love,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I\u2019m deeply appreciative. I\u2019d also watch it again. There\u2019s so much in there, there\u2019s so many layers. It\u2019s black and white. It\u2019s color.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso, Uziel admitted he doesn\u2019t love the term \u201ccanceled\u201d since he considered Season 1 to be a self-contained story.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe told a story, and it\u2019s like, \u2018Do you want to invest in spending the money?\u2019 These things are expensive. Not nearly as expensive as the internet keeps claiming it was, by the way. People keep saying it was $400 million. I was like, \u2018Wow! That would be great.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Friday, Amazon\u2019s Prime Video announced that \u201cSpider-Noir\u201d wouldn\u2019t be back for a Season 2.
