The Spider-Verse gives, and the Spider-Verse takes away. According to Deadline, the live-action TV series "Silk: Spider Society" is dead on arrival after years of development. Earlier this week, MGM+ and Prime Video (which were set to be the streaming home for the series) announced that Nicolas Cage will be starring in his own live-action Spider-Verse spinoff, "Noir," but didn't give any updates on "Silk" a series that was set to shine a spotlight on Korean-American spider-powered hero Cindy Moon. Rights for the character are reportedly set to revert back to Sony Pictures Television, which will continue looking for a home for the show.
Deadline says the series is no more, and their sources vary when it comes to the reason "Silk" isn't moving forward. However, the show has publicly gone through some turnover since even before it was first officially greenlit in 2022. Back in 2018, "Silk" was rumored to be...

Andrew Garfield is one of the best film stars of this generation, who has always captivated his audience. Throughout his career, his work has been recognized and praised, as he consistently and dedicatedly displayed his passion for acting by taking on different roles in various genres of films. He first caught the attention of the public when he did a phenomenal job in David Fincher’s The Social Network.

A few days ago, the confirmation that ‘Spider-Man Noir’ show starring Nicholas Cage is moving forward, came. As the studio is reviewing its projects in development, one notable show involving the Spider-Man character however was canceled.
In June 2018, Sony and Amy Pascal initiated development on a film centered around Cindy Moon / Silk, a character portrayed by Tiffany Espensen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This film would be distinct from Silk’s appearance in Sony’s animated Spider-Women project.
By late 2019, Silk was considered a strong candidate for a television series, leading to the start of development for the series version, with Pascal remaining as producer. Lauren Moon began writing and developing the series in September 2020. In November 2022, the series was titled “Silk: Spider Society,” with Angela Kang joining to redevelop the series and serve as its showrunner and executive producer alongside Pascal, Phil Lord, and Christopher Miller.

After a Lengthy and Arduous Development, ‘Silk: Spider Society’ Is no Longer Going Forward at Amazon
Recently, news surfaced confirming the progression of the ‘Spider-Man Noir’ series featuring Nicholas Cage. However, amidst the studio’s review of its development projects, one notable show revolving around the Spider-Man character was axed.
In June 2018, Sony and Amy Pascal commenced work on a film focusing on Cindy Moon / Silk, portrayed by Tiffany Espensen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This project aimed to distinguish itself from Silk’s portrayal in Sony’s animated Spider-Women project.
By late 2019, Silk emerged as a strong contender for a television series, sparking the initiation of its development, with Pascal retaining her role as producer. In September 2020, Lauren Moon embarked on writing and developing the series.

Amazon Scraps Silk: Spider Society Live-Action Series - Main Image
Amazon Prime Video has scrapped the Spider-Man live-action spinoff series Silk: Spider Society after years of being stuck in development.
The project was first announced back in 2019 and it was intended to be the first Spider-Verse live-action series. The spinoff would have focused on Korean-American superhero Cindy Moon aka Silk.
However, the project remained in development throughout the years and there were reports in the past few months that the writers were all released as it was undergoing massive creative overhaul.

Silk: Spider Society, the Sony Pictures series that had Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) on board as executive producers, is no longer moving forward on Prime Video.
The announcement comes just days after Amazon confirmed that the Sony-produced Spider-Man Noir show starring Nicolas Cage is officially in development. No official reason for Silk being scrapped was provided, but Deadline has heard that the decision "likely lies in the show’s tortured development history."
Apparently, the project went through at least three versions, one of which "involved a request for Angela Kang and her writing team to reconfigure the show so it is not hanging so heavily on the central character of Silk."
Former The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang was brought on to oversee Silk: Spider Society, which was marketed as "the first in an expected slate of Marvel TV series based on the Sony...

Two years after Silk: Spider Society was officially announced, the live-action Spider-Man series has been scrapped.
Silk: Spider Society was poised to become the first of several live-action Marvel shows based on Sony Pictures’ library of Spidey characters, but that honour will (likely) now go to Noir, the recently announced series starring Nicholas Cage.
Based on characters created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos, the series would have followed 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. As to why the series has been scrapped, that’s unknown, but Deadline believes the lengthy development period didn’t do it any favours.

The “Silk: Spider Society” live-action series has been scrapped at Amazon.
The show was originally greenlit in November 2022 in a deal with Sony Pictures Television to develop a suite of shows based on Marvel characters that Sony controls. It was meant to debut on the MGM+ linear channel domestically before a global launch on Prime Video.
“The Walking Dead” alum Angela Kang was onboard as executive producer and showrunner, with Kang also signing a multi-year overall deal with Amazon MGM Studios in the process. Kang will continue under that deal. Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal were also executive producers on the series. According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Sony will try to shop the series to other buyers.

At its first upfront presentation this week, Amazon announced a green light for Noir, based on the Marvel comic, with Nicolas Cage set to star. Noir was to be the second in a suite of live-action Spider-Man Universe series for MGM+ and Prime Video. However, there was no mention at the upfront of the first, Silk: Spider Society.
That is because that series, which had been in the works for about five years and greenlighted for two, is not moving forward. I heard the final decision was made a few days ago.
The project’s showrunner, well regarded Walking Dead alum Angela Kang, remains under an overall deal at Amazon MGM Studios where she will work on other projects.

The writing was basically on the wall for this one.
Amazon’s Marvel drama Silk: Spider Society — from producers Sony Pictures Television — is no longer moving forward at the streamer. Sources say Sony TV, which owns rights to a fraction of the Marvel universe that features more than 900 characters, plans to shop the drama series from former Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang. Kang, who departed her pact with AMC for what sources say is an eight-figure deal with Amazon, remains housed at the streamer and will continue to develop projects for the company.
Reps for Amazon and Sony declined to comment.
The decision to scrap Silk comes a mere two days after Amazon, during its first in-person pitch to Madison Avenue ad buyers, announced a Sony-produced Marvel series Noir, starring Nicolas Cage.
Noir, like Silk, is poised to launch first on Amazon’s linear network, MGM+, before debuting on the streamer.

The Walking Dead is over, but like the zombies at the heart (er, brains?) of the tale, the franchise lives on.
Clocking in at 11 seasons and 177 episodes all told, the AMC horror drama shuffled off into the afterlife, only to birth a bevy of spinoff shows, most of which center on beloved characters from the original series like the Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) reunion series The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. Beyond those continuing adventures, there are also the spinoffs without too many overt ties to the “flagship” Walking Dead, including the very first of these spinoffs, Fear the Walking Dead (also now in the grave, joined there by the two-seasons-and-out The Walking Dead: World Beyond and single season anthology series Tales of the Walking Dead).

Exclusive: Anthony E. Zuiker, the creator of the hugely successful CSI TV franchise, has signed with boutique management firm Literate.
This marks a rare new addition to Zuiker’s close-knit representation team, nicknamed affectionately by the writer-producer “Team Zuiker,” who has been shaping his career and brand for more than two decades.
It follows the January death of Zuiker’s beloved manager of over 25 years, Margaret Riley, most recently of Lighthouse Entertainment, who passed away from cancer at the age of 58.
In a moving tribute for Deadline at the time, Zuiker recalled how Riley signed Zuiker on his 30th birthday, 8/17/1998, when he was still trying to break into Hollywood. Helping him land early writing gigs that led to CSI, Riley also took Zuiker to the talent agencies, with him landing at CAA with Joe Cohen, and introduced him to entertainment lawyer Kevin Yorn.

Nicolas Cage may reprise his role from Into the Spider-Verse in the upcoming Spider-Man Noir series. Hollywood insider publication The Ankler reports that the actor is “in serious talks to take on the lead role” in the untitled show, which Amazon ordered from Sony Pictures Television last year.
Cage voiced Spider-Man Noir in the 2018 animated film Into the Spider-Verse (although his character did not appear in the 2023 sequel Across the Spider-Verse). Taking inspiration from the Spider-Man who appears in the Marvel Noir comics, Cage’s character is a hardboiled Peter Parker from an alternate (and monochromatic) universe, with the mannerisms of a 30s-era Hollywood detective.
Just under one year ago, news broke that Sony was partnering with Prime Video for a live-action Spider-Man Noir series set in New York City circa 1930s. As originally reported by Variety, the untitled project features an “older, grizzled superhero,” is set in an alternate universe,...

It’s hard to make your mark in an ever-evolving film industry. Hollywood has recently witnessed a string of massive flops, and quite a good portion of them were female-led movies. The most recent examples are The Marvels and Sony’s latest release, Madame Web. Both have received unimpressive reviews and poor box office receipts.
While superhero fatigue is partly to blame, these films have also been criticized way more than other flops, the most common complaint being the “wokeness” that they allegedly possess. After the massive failure of Madame Web, there has been a creative overhaul at their headquarters, which has completely changed their initial plans.

Exclusive: The writers room for the new MGM+/Prime Video series Silk: Spider Society is tentatively slated to reconvene in mid to late January, sources tell Deadline.
It would be one of the last series whose writers rooms were up and running when the WGA strike started May 2 to reopen.
The delay prompted Wgaw to notify Amazon Studios last month “that their failure to recommence a number of writing rooms after the strike is a violation of the Strike Termination Agreement (Sta) between the WGA and AMPTP and Article 7 of the Mba,” the guild told Deadline in a statement, adding that “studios are obligated to return writers to work ‘upon termination of the strike,” which happened Sept. 27, and that “the Guild will bring legal action against Amazon and any other studio that violates the Sta to recover compensation, interest on late payments, and benefit contributions due as a result of the delay.

The Spider-Man Noir live-action series in the works at Amazon has brought on Steve Lightfoot as co-showrunner, Variety has learned exclusively.
The show was first reported to be in the works at Amazon back in February. Oren Uziel is the writer on the project and will serve alongside Lightfoot as co-showrunner and executive producer.

The Walking Dead spin-off The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (you can read our review Here) is set to continue with a second season that will focus on Daryl’s good friend Carol, played by Melissa McBride – and because of that, the second season has the ridiculous (and ridiculously long) title of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol. Thanks to a SAG interim agreement, the show was able to make its way through production while the actors strike was still going on… and now that the strike is over, Deadline has revealed that McBride is joined in the cast of the show by Manish Dayal.
Dayal just wrapped up a six season run on the Fox TV series The Resident. Some of his other credits include The Hundred-Foot Journey, Viceroy House, Holidate, Halt and Catch Fire, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

When it was announced that The Walking Dead was going to wrap up with its eleventh season, it was also revealed that there were going to be follow-up spin-offs, including one that would focus on the characters of Carol and Daryl, played by Melissa McBride and Norman Reedus. But then it was said that McBride had to drop out of the show when it was decided that it would be filming in Europe, as she couldn’t relocate for an extended period of time. So we got the Daryl solo spin-off, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (you can read our review Here). As it turns out, there was a plan all along to bring McBride into the show, and as Daryl Dixon wrapped up its six episode first season it was said that the second season would be called The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol.

The season finale of “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” aired on AMC last night, and it brought along with it the tease that main show character Carol (Melissa McBride) will be joining Norman Reedus in the second season of the spinoff series. In fact, next year’s Season 2 of “Daryl Dixon” has officially been dubbed “The Walking Dead: The Book of Carol.”
As you may recall, the “Daryl Dixon” spinoff had originally been announced as a Daryl/Carol spinoff series, so it’s essentially returning to those original plans in its second season.
“The Book of Carol” opens up on AMC in 2024. Watch the teaser trailer below.
“The Daryl Dixon spinoff series tracks Daryl’s (Norman Reedus) journey across a broken but resilient France as he hopes to find a way back home. As he makes the journey, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his ultimate plan.

The Walking Dead reached the end of its eleven season run last year, and long before the show ended we knew the character Daryl Dixon (played by Norman Reedus) was going to be getting a spin-off. But when the Daryl spin-off was first announced, it was said to focus on the two-person team of Daryl and his friend Carol (Melissa McBride). That plan changed when it was decided that the show was going to take place in Europe, and McBride didn’t want to relocate for an extended period of time. So we’ve gotten the solo spin-off The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon… but showrunner David Zabel still has story in mind for the Carol character.

The Walking Dead reached the end of its eleven season run last year, and the first season of the follow-up spin-off The Walking Dead: Dead City ran through its six episodes earlier this year. The next follow-up spin-off, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, is set to reach AMC and AMC+ at 9pm on Sunday, September 10th – and star Norman Reedus told Entertainment Weekly that are several elements to the show that will make it stand apart from The Walking Dead. He said, “The photography’s different, the acting style of the people I’m acting with are different, the writing is different.” He even went on to say that the zombies are different: “The walkers that we have on this show, they’re all dancers. They’re not extras, they’re dancers — so they bend and move in weird ways. It’s a combination of a horror film mixed with Cirque du Soleil.

We are fast approaching the premiere of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon on AMC.
The latest chapter of Daryl's story begins Sunday, September 10 at 9 p.m. Et/Pt on AMC and AMC+.
The previous footage has showcased Norman Reedus' weatherbeaten character as he navigates a new sandbox.
Now, AMC has dropped the key art for the forthcoming spinoff, and it's as picturesque as you'd expect from a show set in France.
Reedus is front and center in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with the Eiffel Tower in the background for good measure.
Truthfully, the color tone reminds me of Fear the Walking Dead Season 7, which put radiation at the center of the storytelling.
Hopefully, Twd: Daryl Dixon is a cut above that.

“Bringing to life Daryl Dixon, a well-established and beloved character, in an all-new and distinct world was an interesting creative challenge,” said Kim Granito, head of marketing for AMC Networks. “We wanted these images to reflect a heroic, and more hopeful story than we’ve seen before in this expanding universe. We hope this series will thrill long-time fans of this franchise but will also resonate with those who have never seen an episode of ‘The Walking Dead.’”
