The first season of Spider-Noir hasn’t even hit Prime Video yet, but showrunner Oren Uziel is already thinking of ideas for season 2 and its late ’30s setting.
Based on the Marvel comic of the same name, the upcoming live-action series is set in New York City in 1933, at a time of mobsters and dames, rising crime, and financial depression. Amongst the grime, it is up to Nicolas Cage’s down-on-his-luck private investigator Ben Reilly to restore balance as he recovers from a personal tragedy.

“One thing I love about the genre is that when you have a private detective, all it takes is a knock on the office door and a new client walks in… Whether it’s New York or a different setting, I really feel like this is a great jumping-off point to expand your story,” said Uziel in the latest issue of SFX Magazine. “Obviously, as time passes from 1933, we’re heading towards not just trouble in the financial markets in New York, but also a geopolitical struggle that would be an amazing canvas for any future storytelling.”
But even before the war, New York was no picnic. From the Great Depression to mobsters still pocketing from the prohibition, there is plenty to draw a Spider out of the shadows. “It gives you so much built-in conflict and drama to work with,” said Uziel. “The city was going through extremely hard times…it’s fertile ground for a city in crisis, but a city that’s very much still alive.”
