At present, Spider-Noir has not yet been officially renewed for season 2.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunners Steve Lightfoot and Oren Uziel discussed the series’ future. While Lightfoot explained that season 1 was designed as a standalone story, Uziel also pointed out how easily the noir detective format could support future seasons.
“One of the magical things about any private detective story is, if you want another story, all it takes is another client to knock on that door, and then comes a new set of cases, a new set of problems, and a new adventure to go on,” he said.
When will Spider-Noir season 2 release?

Since its renewal is pending, season 2 currently does not have a confirmed release date.
If Prime Video renews the series in the coming months, production will likely depend on Cage’s busy filming schedule. Cage currently has several film projects in development, which could delay his return to television.
If production begins sometime this year, season 2 could premiere in late 2027.

The season 1 finale largely wraps up the main story, but a phone call from a new client hints at more mysteries to come.
Dr. Faber’s experiments suggest there may be more superpowered individuals out there, potentially introducing classic Spider-Man villains like Scorpion and the Rattler in season 2.
Speaking with SFX Magazine, Uziel expressed interest in exploring a second season set during the Second World War. The co-showrunner said the era would provide “built-in conflict” and “drama,” describing New York as “a city in crisis.”
“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," Uziel added.
Who will be in the cast for Spider-Noir season 2?

Cage will almost certainly reprise his role as Ben Reilly / The Spider if the show returns for season 2.
Based on the season 1 ending, Lamorne Morris and Karen Rodriguez are also likely to return as Robbie Robertson and Janet Ruiz.
Because of their characters’ fates, Brendan Gleeson and Andrew Lewis Caldwell are unlikely to return. However, Li Jun Li could reprise her role as Cat Hardy alongside Jack Huston as Flint Marko.
Spider-Noir is currently streaming on Prime Video.
