What is Spider-Noir season 1 about and who stars in it?

Spider-Noir season 1 features an exhausted private eye, Ben Reilly, who is set in an alternative universe of 1930s New York City. He previously existed as only a single crime-fighter in the city called Spider. But he fled that lifestyle after a tragedy and attempted to continue with his life.

The story kicks off when a deadly new case sees him forced to don the mask again. Reilly fights corruption, crime and secret conspiracies across the city, all while battling guilt, trauma, and his dark past.

Spider-Noir season 1 is led by Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly. From the draft, Cage said he played like a combination of old Hollywood people around, like Humphrey Bogart, with the cartoon energy of someone like Bugs Bunny.

Supporting cast members include Lamorne Morris as journalist Robbie Robertson, Li Jun Li as nightclub singer Cat Hardy, Karen Rodriguez as Janet and Abraham Popoola as Longie Lincoln aka Tombstone.

Jack Huston plays a heroic Flint Marko, aka Sandman, with Brendon Gleeson as Silvermane, a dangerous Irish mob boss, the patriarch of a criminal empire linked to Reilly’s history.

Other members of the cast who appeared more than once in Spider- Noir season 1 were Cameron Britton, Amy Aquino, Scott MacArthur and Andrew Robinson.
