“Spider-Noir” follows the story of a down-on-his-luck private detective in 1930s New York City, as he grapples with growing older and his former life as a superhero. Cage has previously played the character in the ‘Spider-Verse’ films, but it seems as if the “Spider-Noir” version might be a little different. 
There’s no release date set for “Spider-Noir.” The series is meant to debut on MGM+ and Prime Video around the world.
