Sony has begun developing a slew of streaming series based on their universe of Spider-Man characters that will be released on Amazon Prime Video, and they just announced that the first series will be based on Silk. Silk: Spider Society is being developed for Prime Video along with all of their other series, and will be written and produced by Angela Kang, who will also serve as showrunner. It’s currently unclear if the series will have a continuation of Venom, Morbius, or any of their upcoming films, and the role hasn’t been cast. Kang hasn’t had a chance to comment publicly on the series, but she eventually broke her silence on Silk: Spider Society.
“It was happening a lot when this was announced, so I’m a bit late, here is my new job,” Kang wrote on Instagram. “I love this character and working with @phillordy & @chrizmillr is as much fun as you can imagine. Grateful to Lord Miller + Amy Pascal, @sptv and my new creative home @amazonstudios for the opportunity to tell the story of @marvel’s Cindy Moon / Silk / 실크!”
When the series was announced, Kang released a statement that read: “I am thrilled to be joining the Amazon Studios family for this next chapter in my career. I look forward to working with the executive team on a variety of characters. Showcase Water Cooler to a global audience and am very excited to dive in.” On my first challenge of bringing Korean-American superhero Silk to life on screen.”
Who is Silk?
Silk is Cindy Moon, a character who first appeared in the mid-2010’s The Amazing Spider-Man comic, created by writer Dan Slott and artist Humberto Ramos.
In the retcon origin story, Cindy was a Korean American girl who was present at the class trip where Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider. After Peter is bitten, Cindy is bitten and gains her own version of spider-like abilities. However, when Cindy was unable to control her powers, she was taken away by a potential mentor (Ezekiel) and spent years training, before being locked in a facility with the other spider-wielding warriors, trying to hide from a multi-ethnic pursuer among All spider warriors, Morlun. When Morlun is finally defeated by Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Cindy is freed back into the world and becomes the hero of Silk.
Amazon Prime describes the series as follows: “Based on the characters created by Dan Slot and Humberto Ramos, Silk: The Spider Society is inspired by Marvel comics and follows Cindy Moon, a Korean-American woman bitten by the same spider that bit Peter Parker, as she escapes from prison and searches for her missing family.” On her way to becoming the superhero known as Silk.”
