By Amazon Prime Video and Sony Pictures Television’s Marvel series “Silk: Spider Society” is no longer moving forward at the streaming service. Sony Television now plans to shop the series around in the hope a streamer or network will pick it up.
Former “The Walking Dead” showrunner Angela Kang produces the series which was announced back in late 2022 and had “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller also attached.
“Silk: Spider Society” was to focus on Cindy Moon, a Korean-American woman bitten by the same spider that got Peter Parker. Cindy escapes imprisonment and searches for her missing family on her way to becoming the superhero known as Silk.
Multiple episodes of the series were written before the writer’s strike and the WGA took Amazon to task for not reviving the show’s writers room after they ended. In February, the streamer said the show will “undergo a complete developmental overhaul” and let go of nearly its entire writers room. Its been said the project went through three different iterations before being let go by Amazon.
“Silk” was one of two projects based on Sony’s Marvel Spider-Man characters setup at Prime Video, the other being the Nic Cage-led “Noir” which just two days ago saw Amazon confirming that it’s moving forward.
That show will now mark the first of several live-action television series based on the Sony Pictures universe of Marvel characters.
