Prime Video eyes Spider‑Man clone‑centric TV series
Sony TV and Amazon MGM may produce a Spider‑Man‑centric show featuring clone characters Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker.

Deadline reports that Prime Video is "closing in on an order" for a new Spider‑Man‑centric television series inspired by Marvel Comics' 1990s "Clone Saga," according to gizmodo.com.
The series would be written by Kelvin Yu, creator of American Born Chinese, and would follow clones Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker as they grapple with their identities and confront other clones. The report notes that rights issues likely prevent Peter Parker from appearing, similar to the earlier Spider‑Noir film that featured Ben Reilly.
Producers expected to be attached include Amy Pascal, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who have worked on previous Spider‑Man TV adaptations. The article says details remain unclear and the project is not yet confirmed.
