Sony Developing Marvel Series ‘Silk: Spider Society’ With ‘The Walking Dead’ Showrunner

November 17, 2022Skyler Shuler

The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang is on board a new series with Sony/Marvel, Silk: Spider Society.

The project is the first in an expected slate of Marvel TV series based on the Sony Pictures universe that features more than 900 characters. Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller will executive produce the series, which will debut on MGM+ domestically and Amazon Prime Video globally.

“Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Sony’s recent live-action and animated reimagining of the Spider-Man franchise has represented some of the most dynamic superhero storytelling in film. Together with Angela Kang’s creative vision, we couldn’t be more pleased to bring Silk: Spider Society to our MGM+ and Prime Video customers.”

Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios

“I’m beyond thrilled to be joining the Amazon Studios family for this next chapter of my career. I look forward to working with the executive team on diverse, character-forward, watercooler shows for a global audience and am so excited to dive in to my first challenge — bringing Korean-American superhero Silk to life on screen.”

Silk is a Korean American superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Silk is the alias of Cindy Moon, who first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (April 2014) and was created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos. She was a member of the Spider-Army / Web-Warriors and Agents of Atlas.

The series will one of the first to feature a Korean-American superhero at its center. Lord and Miller have an overall deal with Sony and will oversee future Spider-Man-centered projects with Sony, Marvel, Amazon, and MGM+.

Sony owns the rights to Spider-Man and its vast library of characters. The studio has partnered with Disney’s Marvel Studios to utilize some of their characters in the MCU. While the deal ended with Spider-Man: No Way Home, rumors are swirling that a new deal between the studios is done. That said, Sony is moving forward with its own Spider-Man universe, which includes Venom, Morbius, Kraven The Hunter, Madame Web, and El Muerto.

In 2013, Skyler Shuler wanted to share his knowledge of Disney films and the magic behind the scenes. So, he created the Instagram account Disney Film Facts and the page quickly garnered a following. Soon after a Twitter was created, and not long after that DisneyFilmFacts.com was born. The page has been lucky enough to garner a wonderful following of such amazing Disney and movie fans, as well as been sourced in some of the biggest entertainment sites in the world. In 2018, the page was rebranded to The DisInsider, and the rest was history!
