It is not a good time to be any part of the Spider-Man universe that isn’t the main man. Morbius became a meme, Madame Web stunk the place out, and everybody seems to have forgotten there is a Kraven The Hunter movie coming.
They covered us in SPUMC, and we barely noticed.
Now comes the news that Amazon Prime Video and Sony Pictures Television’s series Silk: Spider Society is no more. It was already troubled.
Former The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang is the producer, with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse) attached. It started spinning up in 2022 but complete episodes had been written. Then the WGA strike happened.
The writer’s room was closed down, and then never re-opened. Amazon then announced the show was being completely overhauled. Then it was overhauled again. And again. Then the WGA got involved because Amazon had still not reopened the writer’s room. Then Amazon let it go. It will be shopped around to other networks.
Silk: Spider Society was to tell the story of Cindy Moon, a Korean-American woman bitten by the same spider as Peter Parker. Cindy has adventures while searching for her missing family, eventually becoming the superhero Silk.
Now the only live-action Spider-Man project left standing at Amazon is the Nic Cage-led Spider-Man: Noir. Amazon confirmed that show is progressing in an advertisers upfront earlier this week.
