The duo signed a five-year, nine-figure TV deal with the studio in 2019, with the idea being that they'd oversee a slate of Spider-Man projects on streaming. Despite Sony's habit of producing terrible Marvel movies like Morbius and Madame Web, this partnership generated a fair bit of excitement among fans.
The first of those TV shows, Silk: Spider Society, was scrapped earlier this year after two years in development. Now, Amazon is moving forward with the Nic Cage-led Spider-Noir, even after it "endured a heated fight over its budget."
As a result, "Sony is not expected to renew the deal, which did, however, deliver two seasons of another pricey show: the Apple TV+ anthology series The Afterparty."
With Lord and Miller no longer overseeing these small screen Spider-Man TV shows, it's hard to escape the feeling that they'll head the way of Sony's failed efforts to expand the wall-crawler's world in theaters.
