Okay, let's speculate!

1) Daily Bugle series. Kind of hard to imagine it would incorporate the MCU version of the Bugle (which seems to have been InfoWars trash) or the typical Bugle staff (Betty and Ned, at least, don't seem like crack reporters). But you could lean into Robbie as a main character, Ben Urich (if they've definitely got him), and JK Simmons might be game for the role on TV. If they lean away from him as Alex Jones (or possibly lean in, with him being more of a joke/villain for Robbie to push against), then it's feasible.

2) Nightwatch series. They've been toying with this for movies for a while, but you could absolutely adapt the central premise of Nightwatch into a great TV series. It doesn't need to be particularly cape-y or Spider-Man related, so it would be very TV-friendly to produce.

3) Some kind of Sinister Six-y Villains thing. Coming high off of the Boys, I would imagine Sony sees a big swing at dark cape shit as feasible. And they're not wrong to think so. Having characters like the Shocker being semi-sorta-disconnected from the MCU lets it be softly rebooted as necessary, but big flashy technical characters like Doc Ock or Rhino are probably off the table.

4) Kraven, I guess. You could structure a Kraven series around him as a mercenary assassin who takes jobs for the thrill of the hunt. It's a pretty blank canvas beyond that.

Ugh. Just keep Tom Holland. I'm guessing most of these will end up as Prime Exclusives after learning Sony had a major hand in producing the Boys. I guess it could be worse, I'm just much more interested in Tom Holland's live action Spidey than I am in animated spinoffs for Spider-Man characters. And if they're giving live action side characters their own shows, even worse. The whole point of this should be filling out Spider-Man's world with all these Sony characters, not splitting them into sub-franchises. I hate this whole situation. And am definitely burnt out on animated Spider-Man media. You will never top the best interpretations. Maybe now that this has happened though they could bring this gem back for a season or two.

@SpideyPuffsMJ - That show was marred with contractual issues that go far beyond just Marvel and Sony, sadly that show will porbably never see the light of day again

Interested to see how they handle their MCU-generated side-characters in the films now. I feel bad for Ned and MJ. I would think they'd like to keep Zendaya but aside from them keeping Holland which is an absolute must, I think they may be forced to abandon everyone else cast by Marvel.

@SpideyPuffsMJ - With Far From Home, I was shocked to find she was my all-time favorite MJ, by a wide, wide margin.

And she is powerhouse in EUPHORIA as well. A huge loss to the MCU. And I will never pay a cent for another Sony movie.

Why don't they just make a Spider-verse TV spinoff? There's plenty of potential from that.

@heisei24 - Marvel owns the rights to animated shows under 44 minutes

I'll say, the ONE thing Sony could announce that would interest me is a Spider-Man TV show about a post grad Peter. That's really the one space that hasn't been tapped in live action and would be a fun place to start a fresh adaptation, a la Spider-Man PS4

I’m not even sure where this new found confidence from Sony’s come from? Their two biggest movies (Skyfall, Far From Home) weren’t even made by them, and it can’t just be Venom. That’s a franchise that’s going to start diminishing returns faster than those god awful Transformers movies. Anybody who hasn’t got literal shit in their eyes can see that.

Sony shops their shows around Networks, some of them are very cheap like their crackle stuff, and some of them are really high in production value like The Boys & Breaking Bad. Wonder how much they'll invest in these? Considering the Disney+ Marvel shows and Sandman/Watchmen from DC will be expensive TV, I'd assume the same here?
Where will these shows go? Netflix? Prime? AMC? Are Lord/Miller just exec producers or will they be more hands on with some of these?

Technically Amy Pascal did ask Kevin Feige for help in bringing Spidey in to the MCU. I wondered what would happen if that deal never came and Sony had to reboot Spider-Man once again.

This is basically gonna be like the DC shows being made out of the leftover scraps from Superman and Batman.


Think of that, but 10x more desperate.

Don't they need Marvel's approval to make TV series? And Marvel approved this...?

........why?

Can anybody explain to me how Spider-Man's TV rights work? Which ones belong to Disney, and which ones belong to Sony?
Because if Disney has rights for a live-action Spider-Man TV show, and considering that they've already shown to be investing a lot of money on their streaming service, I don't see a good reason why not to keep Tom Holland for one or more seasons consisting of 5 to 6 45' episodes each, and playing it out like a movie split in parts.

@OuzoPowerMan - Sony has all live-action TV rights, and Marvel has animated TV rights to shows under 44 minutes in length.
