‘Silk: Spider Society’ Series Not Going Forward At Amazon


Silk: Spider Society, which had been in the works for about five years and greenlighted by Amazon for two, is not moving forward.

Rights to the Silk character, created by Dan Slott and Humberto, revert back to lead studio Sony Pictures Television, which is looking to shop the series to other buyers. While evaluating script material and figuring out a course of action, Amazon brass delayed the reopening of Silk ‘s writers room after the strike last fall, drawing a rebuke from the WGA. But after deliberations where to allocate resources on genre IP projects — which are inherently pricey — a decision was made to proceed with Noir, starring Cage, and shelve Silk.
