"Silk: Spider Society" Pre-Release News & Discussion (Spoilers)

[Frontier]

Lord & Miller confirm no one has been cast yet and note the show is coming along.

I keep forgetting this is a thing .

Silk: Spider Society was confirmed. Angela Kang set as show-runner. It will air on MGM+, currently known as Epix, and later on it will be available on Amazon Prime Video.

"Silk: Spidey Society" is such a random title .

You know, I kinda figured AMAZON and WB was playing footsie under the table. However, I read Netflix is trying their hands on them.

Then you also have Disney with Apple. SONY has not been on my radar. Be interesting to find out how this all transpires.

As material done so far is being reviewed by higher ups, it seems the writers room is tentatively set to reopen in mid-late January.

Well, good luck to them then .

It's been reported it is going through a developmental overhaul, nearly all the writers were fired, and it will refocused to a male audience...

This kind of feels like a reaction to whatever the response to Madame Web was. If they have so little faith in the story they've been working on for years, what's the point of forcing it into something else? Sony continues to look clueless about what they want to do on the TV front with the Spidey properties. I had hope in them doing something in this area (especially after they starrted planning all this stuff after the first Spider-Verse) but still nothing has come to fruition outside of a three minute Spider-Ham short. I don't want to see them rush out something mediocre that no one is interested in but I just want to see them succeed at something, if they're going to keep sticking at this.

Wow, that's pretty dramatic !

"Refocused to a male audience" - what does that even mean? More action? More male characters? More shots of Silk in her skintight costume ?

No longer moving forward at Amazon and Sony is shopping it around.

I have to say I'm not surprised...

The eye brow raiser is one of the three iterations it went through allegedly was "reconfigure the show so it is not hanging so heavily on the central character of Silk." Make the show less about the title character? That can't be real. The elephant in the room is the box office results from Madame Web, I'm sure that's what probably killed Amazon's interest in Silk.

Yeah, Sony can only get so much mileage out of this IP, especially with less than stellar productions.

From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"No Silk For You: Amazon Passes On Spider-Spinoff"​

"Last year it was announced Amazon had started production on a Spider-Man-adjacent series starring one of the comic’s newest heroes, Cindy Moon AKA “Silk.” But apparently that’s not happening anymore…several news outlets are reporting the series has been abandoned.

It would’ve been called Silk: Spider-Society and not much else about it is known other than that. Angela Kang, former showrunner of The Walking Dead in its later years, would have helmed the project."
