Spider-Man Noir Series Gets Punisher Showrunner

The Spider-Man Noir live-action TV series in development by Sony for Amazon Prime Video now has the showrunner of Marvel’s The Punisher that aired on Netflix.

It is reported Steve Lightfoot will serve as co-showrunner.

As announced back in February, Oren UzielĀ is the writer of the Spider-Man Noir series and will also serve as co-showrunner.

Steve Lightfoot is also known for Hannibal and Narcos, and I’ll say The Punisher Season 1 was really good. Not sure what happened with Season 2.

Oren UzielĀ is known for The Lost City, the recentĀ Mortal KombatĀ movie,Ā Shimmer Lake, andĀ 22 Jump Street.
