The series, which is exec produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (<em>Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/em>), will air first domestically on MGM+ (the premium cable network currently known as Epix) and then globally on Amazon\u2019s Prime Video platform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cAmy Pascal, Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Sony\u2019s recent live-action and animated reimagining of the Spider-Man franchise has represented some of the most dynamic superhero storytelling in film,\u201d said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios. \u201cTogether with Angela Kang\u2019s creative vision, we couldn\u2019t be more pleased to bring<em>\u00a0Silk: Spider Society<\/em>\u00a0to our MGM+ and Prime Video customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> marks the first official confirmation from Amazon that the retail giant and streamer is indeed working with Sony on a slate of Marvel original TV series after the deal had been rumored for the past two years. Lord and Miller will steer the larger franchise for Sony Pictures TV, Amazon and MGM. (Amazon now owns MGM, so the linear deal makes sense in that regard.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The Amazon slate of Marvel originals gives the Salke-led streamer a popular IP in addition to <em>Lord of the Rings <\/em>and will no doubt help the platform compete with the likes of Disney+ and other sub<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ion video offerings. In Kang, Amazon and Sony get an experienced showrunner with franchise experience. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Kang, who joined <em>TWD <\/em>in season two, was promoted to showrunner in season nine and steered the flagship series through its 11th and final season and developed the upcoming Norman Reedus-led spinoff. The Korean-American writer-producer stepped down from her role as showrunner earlier this year following the exit of original star Melissa McBride. Kang\u2019s deal with Amazon had been in the works for months, which now helps to explain her exit from the Daryl Dixon spinoff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cI\u2019m beyond thrilled to be joining the Amazon Studios family for this next chapter of my career,\u201d Kang said. \u201cI look forward to working with the executive team on diverse, character-forward, watercooler shows\u00a0for a global audience and am so excited to dive in to my first challenge \u2014 bringing Korean-American superhero Silk to life on screen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    As part of her Amazon deal, Kang is also developing multiple projects, including a series adaptation of the acclaimed fantasy novel\u00a0<em>Black\u00a0Sun<\/em>\u00a0with author Rebecca Roanhorse set to write the script and an adaptation of the near sci-fi novel\u00a0<em>The Postmortal\u00a0<\/em>by Drew Magary with executive producer Scott Derrickson.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cAngela is a pro\u2019s pro whose perspective and creativity we greatly respect and admire. She\u2019s also a hell of a lot of fun. She loves these characters and we feel really lucky for the chance to work with her to bring Cindy Moon\u2019s story to the world,\u201d Lord and Miller said in a joint statement Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>Silk <\/em>is based on characters created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos<em>. <\/em>The series is inspired by the Marvel comics and follows Cindy Moon, a Korean-American woman bitten by the same spider that bit Peter Parker, as she escapes imprisonment and searches for her missing family on her way to becoming the superhero known as Silk. The show marks one of the first to feature a Korean-American superhero at its center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The Amazon and Marvel deal marks a huge score for Sony and its recently installed TV studio president Katherine Pope. The indie studio has seen its share of broadcast programming decline to a point where it barely has any shows on linear. The studio had been a big supplier to Spectrum Originals \u2014 the division formerly headed up by Pope \u2014 but the cable platform exited the pricey scripted space this year with the exec moving to front Sony Pictures Television. As an indie studio, Sony does not have any platforms of its own to funnel programming to. The deal with Amazon gives Sony an outlet on both linear with MGM+ and streaming with Prime Video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to bring\u00a0the adventures of Cindy Moon to life, thanks to the creative dream team of Chris and Phil, Angela and Amy, along with our partners at Marvel and Amazon,\u201d said Pope.\u00a0\u201cWe know this exciting series with new and never-before-seen characters and storylines will wow audiences watching first on linear MGM+ and then around the world on Prime Video.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Lord and Miller moved their overall deal from Disney\u2019s 20th Television to Sony in April 2019 and, as part of the nine-figure pact, were handed control of the studio\u2019s Marvel slate. Sony retains rights to characters including Spider-Man (and all his villains, like Green Goblin); Venom (the Tim Hardy films); Morbius (i.e. the live-action feature with Jared Leto); and Black Cat and Silver Sable (both previously in development on the feature side). Select TV projects related to Sony\u2019s Marvel characters will be produced in partnership with former Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Pascal. Also possibly on the table: all the characters from\u00a0<em>Into the Spider-Verse<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    A timeline for when <em>Silk <\/em>will arrive has not yet been determined.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
