Prime Video is reportedly nearing a deal with Sony to develop a TV series based on the controversial "Clone Saga" storyline from Spider-Man comics. This decision comes shortly after the streamer canceled its Spider-Noir series, which was criticized as disappointing. According to Deadline, the new series will be inspired by the storyline involving Peter Parker clones, created by the villain The Jackal.
Two of the most notable clones are Ben Reilly, who adopted the Scarlet Spider identity, and Kaine, an antagonistic clone known by the alias Kaine. While some sources suggest that the comics may merely serve as source material and inspiration for the TV series, with significant changes expected, others indicate the possibility of focusing on Ben and Kaine's conflicts against other clones, such as in the limited series Spidercide.
The adaptation's direction regarding the characters' identities remains uncertain. Kelvin Yu, known for creating American Born Chinese, will write the series, while Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, and Christopher Miller are expected to serve as producers.
