Amazon Greenlights Clone Saga Series Based on Marvel Comics Storyline

A new TV series based on the Clone Saga storyline from Marvel Comics is in development for Amazon Prime Video, according to Deadline. The show will be set in Sony Pictures' Universe of Marvel Characters and follows the story of two Spider-Man clones, Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker.

The series, written by Kelvin Yu, will succeed Spider-Noir, which was canceled after one season. In the comic books, Ben Reilly is a successful clone with his own superhero identity, while Kaine Parker is the flawed first clone of Spider-Man.

There may be significant changes in the screen adaptation from the comics, and sources caution that the series may alter the origins of Ben and Kaine as clones. The show will also explore the theme of identity and what it means to be a hero.
