Spider-Man NOIR animated series in the works at Amazon

Spider-Noir first appeared in print in 2009 in the Noir Marvel universe. A man, not Peter Parker, in 1930s depression New York City, is bitten by a spider and starts seeing visions of an ancient Spider God.

Spider-Noir was seen somewhat recently in the animated movie, Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse, which I quite liked. This should be interesting. That movie won an Academy Award for best animation, two sequels are in production, the first to be released in June of this year.

The article doesn't say who is going to voice Spidey. I hope it's the same guy from the Spider-Verse movies.

Actually, Disney does NOT.  Spidey, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and some others were licensed to Sony.  Spidey appeared in the MCU through a licensing deal.  So apparently they've gone and licensed this particular aspect of the character to Amazon.  Which probably pisses off Disney to no end, their streaming service is losing a ton of money.  I don't know that Amazon Prime streaming is profitable, but they have been at it longer than Disney and already own a buttload of data centers for streaming it from, whereas Disney has to build out its streaming infrastructure, which means paying people for server hosting.

I think Disney had the merchandising rights to Spidey, so I wonder if they get it for this version too?
I think that was part of the deal with Sony.
