By Offering some synchronicity with the release of “Madame Web” in cinemas this weekend, a new report at The Ankler has broken some news regarding the planned “Silk: Spider Society” series.
The new report indicates the series will undergo a complete developmental overhaul and has let go of nearly its entire writers room. The report indicates the creative refocus will shift the series towards more of a male-skewing audience.
When announced back in late 2022, it was revealed “The Walking Dead” executive producer Angela Kang will serve as showrunner and developed the series with “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. All reportedly remain attached, as are co-executive producers Kai Wu and Jim Barnes.
Multiple episodes of the series were written before the writer’s strike and after said strike ended the WGA threatened to sue Amazon for not reviving the show’s writers room late last year.
The show is meant to mark the first of several live-action television series based on the Sony Pictures universe of Marvel characters.
The series will focus on Cindy Moon, a Korean-American woman bitten by the same spider that got Peter Parker. The action will follow Cindy as she “escapes imprisonment and searches for her missing family on her way to becoming the superhero known as Silk”.
It’s one of two projects based on Sony’s Marvel characters setup at Prime Video the other being “Spider-Man Noir”.
