Spotify Wrapped 2022: How to Watch Your 'Listening Personality' and 'Audio Day' - CNET

Spotify released on Wednesday its 2022 Wrapped recaps, the annual digital experience that digs through the data of your musical tastes for the year. 

This year's Wrapped includes new features like your Myers-Briggs-style "listening" personality type and a tracker of how your musical mood changes over the course of a day. As usual, Wrapped also sums up your own top artists, genres, songs and podcasts, plus total minutes listened on Spotify.

Wrapped is one of the streaming service's most popular features, as well as the hook for a major marketing campaign. Spotify itself is the world's biggest streaming music service by number of users, making its annual data recap one way to take the pulse of the world's listening habits.

This year's Wrapped recaps include: 

• Your Listening Personality: Users get sorted into 16 music personalities -- like the Deep Diver, the Replayer, the Adventurer or the Fanclubber -- that describe your approach to listening. 
• Audio Day: A progressive look at how your music habits evolve throughout the day, with Spotify defining your vibe for morning,  daytime and night. My morning mood, apparently, is partly "somber friendly," whatever that means.
• Your Artist Messages: Expanding on feature last year, Spotify is dropping video cameos from top artists into recaps. Last year, Spotify had more than 100 artists record a thank-you message to fans. This year, more than 40,000 participated. If your own top artists include someone who recorded a cameo, you should see one or more pop up in your Wrapped feed. 

Spotify also launched Wrapped "creator" experiences for artists and podcasters on the service, which are individualized microsites delving into how their fans listened over the year. 

All the ways to share your Wrapped on social networks are back, plus new social cards to share on WhatsApp and Line this year. Snapchat also has a personalized lens that reflects your assigned Listening Personality. 

How to watch your Wrapped recap

Wrapped experiences are available only in Spotify's mobile app for Android devices and Apple iPhones or iPads. Just make sure you have the latest version of the Spotify app downloaded, which is version 8.7.78.

The app will have multiple entry points to your Wrapped experience, including banners on the Home, Search and Library tabs, as well as a full "Your 2022 in Review" shelf on Home. You can also search the app for "2022 Wrapped."

If you're already on your Apple or Android device, you can simply visit this web page, which should automatically open your Wrapped experience in the app. 

If you still can't find your Wrapped, it's possible you haven't used Spotify enough to generate sufficient data to create a personalized recap. For users to be eligible for Wrapped, they must stream at least 30 tracks for more than 30 seconds, as well as stream at least five artists, sometime between Jan. 1 and early November.

Now, in a magical world where brownies, sorcerers, trolls, and other mystical creatures flourish, the adventure continues, as an unlikely group of heroes set off on a dangerous quest to places far beyond their home, where they must face their inner demons and come together to save their world.

Kim Kardashian settles divorce with Kanye West, gets $200K in child support - Page Six

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West finalized their divorce on Monday, Page Six can confirm.

The Skims founder, 42, and Yeezy CEO, 45, will have joint custody with “equal access” to their four children – North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3 – per court docs obtained by Page Six.

However, sources close to Kardashian told TMZ that the matriarch will continue to have the kids 80 percent of the time – as West previously admitted in September.

The settlement also notes that the “Gold Digger” rapper will have to pay his ex-wife $200,000 a month in child support.

He is also responsible for 50 percent of the children’s educational expenses – such as their tuition – and security expenses.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, who got married in 2014, have finalized their divorce.

If Kardashian and West ever have a dispute regarding any one of their four kids, they are required to attend mediation, per the settlement.

However, if either party fails to attend mediation, the participating party becomes the decision maker.

They will share joint custody of their four kids: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

Additionally, property assets were divided in alignment with the former couple’s prenuptial agreement.

They both waived spousal support.

West settled on Monday, the night before he was set to be deposed for his divorce case.

Gilbert Carrasquillo

A rep for Kardashian did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on the latest update regarding her divorce case.

The “Kardashian” star filed for divorce in February 2021 after seven years of marriage.

Following months of several failed public attempts on West’s part to win his former wife back, a judge declared the fashion designer and “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum legally single in March 2022.

Hailey Bieber Shows Her Ovarian Cyst “the Size of an Apple” - E! NEWS

Hailey Bieber is sharing a painful health update on social media.

The Rhode Beauty founder detailed a recent health challenge alongside an image posted Nov. 28 to her Instagram Stories. Hailey is seen lifting up her sweatshirt to show her torso, though she clarified that the inflated area was "not a baby."

"I have a cyst on my ovary the size of an apple," she wrote on her Instagram Stories. "I don't have endometriosis or PCOS but I have gotten an ovarian cyst a few times and it's never fun."

Endometriosis, according to the Mayo Clinic, occurs when uterus tissue grows outside the uterus, while PCOS—Polycystic ovary syndrome—is the development of cysts along the outer edge of the ovary. In Hailey's case, she didn't provide information about the nature of her cyst, but instead detailed how it makes her feel.

'RHOA' alum Porsha Williams marries Simon Guobadia in Nigerian ceremony - Page Six

Porsha Williams is a Mrs. again!

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum married Simon Guobadia in a Nigerian traditional native law and custom ceremony at the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta on Friday, People reported.

Williams, who described the day as “a true fashion extravaganza,” had three outfit changes.

For the ceremony, she wore an over-the-top, deep red, princess-style wedding gown with feathers and gold embellishments by designer Lakimmy, along with an okuku, a headpiece with Benin coral beads.

It was the same dress the reality star, 41, accidentally showed over 2,000 of her Instagram followers while livestreaming earlier this month.

For the reception, she changed into two different gowns by designer Tabik: one in royal blue and one in gold.

The couple’s 250 guests — which included several Bravolebrities — wore traditional or formal Nigerian-inspired attire in purple and teal.

The ceremony was led by a spokesperson from each of their families, while traditional Benin singers and dancers performed. Guobadia, 57, is from Benin City in the Edo State of Nigeria.

Williams wore three different dresses, including the red gown she accidentally revealed on Instagram Live earlier this month.

porsha4real/Instagram

For the reception, Williams said she wanted attendees to feel like they had “taken a flight and landed in Benin,” as the space was decorated with “beautiful colors of browns and rose golds and tans and creams.”

“The other thing I wanted was trees in the room,” she added. “I want[ed] it to feel like an inside/outside space, but luxurious.”

Williams and Guobadia also asked that their guests remain unplugged because they “want[ed] people to be in the moment.”

Though the “Pursuit of Porsha” author was “adamant” that the event honored the businessman’s roots, she made sure the food included southern staples like “fried lobster, steak and cornbread.”

According to People, the lovebirds will say “I do” in an American celebration on Saturday evening in front of 350 guests.

Fellow “RHOA” alums/stars Kandi Burruss, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Cynthia Bailey, Drew Sidora and Monyetta Shaw are expected to attend the church ceremony, followed by a ball and after-party.

T.I. and wife Tiny Harris are also on the guest list.

The “RHOA” alum “definitely” wants to “explore” having children with Guobadia.

Getty Images

“It’s our last marriage, OK? We belong together. That is it,” Williams, who was previously married to Kordell Stewart and engaged to Dennis McKinely, told the publication. “It’s a blessing to be able to find your person. It doesn’t happen often.”

Williams and McKinley share daughter Pilar Jhena (“PJ”), 3, while Guobadia has five kids — Quentin, Nicole, Christian, Benjamin and Ximena — from previous marriages.

The “Porsha’s Family Matters” star noted that she’s “absolutely” open to expanding her family with her new husband.

The businessman has five kids from previous marriages, while Williams is mom to one daughter.

“I’ve always wanted to have four kids, so it’s a blessing that he has three younger ones that are at home a lot of the time, and then I have my Pilar,” she shared.

“But as far as me being able to experience having a child with him, I definitely want to explore that. I’m not sure how many that will include, but I definitely know it wouldn’t be more than two.”

The newlyweds got engaged in May 2021 after a month of dating. They met on Season 13 of “RHOA” when Guobadia was married to cast “friend” Falynn Pina.

Armie Hammer’s Father Michael Armand Hammer Dead at 67 - E! NEWS

Armie Hammer's father has passed away, E! News has learned.

Michael Armand Hammer died on Sunday, Nov. 20, according to TMZ. He was 67 years old. The business titan had reportedly been battling cancer for some time. He started his career at an investment bank before joining Occidental Petroleum, the company founded by his grandfather, Armand Hammer.

Michael welcomed Armie in 1986 and son Viktor in 1988 with then-wife Dre Ann Mobley. Michael is survived by his second wife, Misty Millward, as well as Armie, Viktor and Armie's children with ex Elizabeth Chambers—Harper Grace, 7, and Ford Armand, 5.

The Call Me By Your Name star has dropped out of the spotlight in recent years. Armie was accused of sexual assault by multiple women in March 2021. He denied any wrongdoing. He later sought treatment for drug, alcohol and sex abuse, according to Vanity Fair, with sources telling E! News in February, "Armie is very committed to his sobriety and has been super consistent with it."

'Supernatural' star Nicki Aycox dead at 47 - Page Six

“Supernatural” star Nicki Aycox, who played Meg Masters on the CW series, died on Nov. 16, her sister-in-law announced. She was 47.

“My beautiful, smart, fierce, incredibly talented, and loving sister-in-law, Nicki Aycox Raab, passed away yesterday with my brother, Matt Raab, by her side,” Susan Raab Ceklosky wrote on Facebook last Thursday alongside a series of photos.

“Nicki and Matt had a wonderful life together in California. She was definitely a fighter and everyone who knew her loved her .”

“Supernatural” star Nicki Aycox passed away at age 47.

While an official cause of death has not been shared publicly, Nicki announced in March 2021 that she had been diagnosed with leukemia.

“Hi all! Sorry 4 time away,” she wrote on Instagram. “I can’t believe my last 3 months. But, it makes sense now. I became very ill thinking I had covid in Jan and Feb. well things came to a head. I ended up in a hospital diagnosed with [leukemia].

She had been battling leukemia.

“I want everyone to know I’m doing incredibly well and fighting my way thru chemo,” she continued. “I will update with a better pic of myself, and talk about staying positive thru the worst of times. take care of yourself all! I’ll be back better, stronger, and wiser!”

Nicki revealed she was cancer-free weeks later, but the disease eventually returned.

Her last Instagram update was posted in March of this year.

Aycox played Meg Masters on the CW series.

“#alwayskeepfighting STOP! DO NOT attempt to sing 80’s music after taking high doses of chemo will cause memory loss,” she captioned a video of herself. “Literally got not 1 lyric correct #cancersucks #chemosucks #aml #cityofhope #highdosechemo #luekemia #chemosideeffects #chemofunny #chemowarrior #cancerwarrior.”

After news of Aycox’s death broke, “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke mourned her on Twitter.

“Gutted to hear the great #NickiAycox, our first #MegMasters, passed away. Too young. She was a delight & delivered lines like honey & venom,” he wrote. “I marvel at how she made a simple word like ‘lackluster’ legendary.”

Kelly Rowland defends Chris Brown, tells booing crowd to 'chill out' at AMAs ceremony - Yahoo Entertainment

Kelly Rowland onstage at the 2022 American Music Awards. (Photo: ABC)

Kelly Rowland doesn’t tend to be a very divisive or controversial figure in pop music. But when the Destiny’s Child star found herself in the awkward position of having to accept the Favorite Male R&B Artist trophy on behalf of the absent (and definitely divisive and controversial) Chris Brown at Sunday’s American Music Awards ceremony, she wound up confronting the protesting audience.

A little background here: Brown was not only expected to attend Sunday’s AMAs, but also perform a tribute to another divisive and controversial artist, the late Michael Jackson, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Jackson’s landmark Thriller album. The day before the awards, Brown posted a seven-minute Instagram video — captioned only with "U SERIOUS?” — of him rehearsing an elaborately choreographed medley of Jackson’s “Beat It,” “Wanna Be Startin' Somethin’,” “Billie Jean,” and “Thriller,” claiming in the post’s comments that his Jackson tribute had been called off at the last minute. “WOULD'VE been the ama performance but they cancelled me for reasons unknown,” he wrote. (A representative for the AMAs did not immediately respond to Yahoo Entertainment’s request for comment.)

So, Brown was a no-show at Sunday’s AMAs, presumably in protest, leaving presenter Rowland to accept his award. When audience members began booing after she announced that Brown had won Favorite Male R&B Artist over Brent Faiyaz, GIVĒON, Lucky Daye, and the Weeknd, she seemed taken aback and even annoyed by the strong reaction.

“Excuse me — chill out,” Rowland scolded, sternly pointing a finger at the rowdy crowd. She then continued: “But I wanted to tell Chris, thank you so much for making great R&B music. And I want to tell him thank you for being an incredible performer. I'll take this award, bring it to you. I love you. Congratulations. And congratulations to all the nominees in this category.”

Among the highlights of the 2022 American Music Awards ceremony, held Sunday, Nov. 20 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, were Pink’s roller-skating opening number and “Hopelessly Devoted to You” tribute to Olivia Newton-John; Favorite Female Latin Artist winner Anitta’s duet with surprise guest Missy Elliott on “Lobby”; a powerful performance of Song of Soul winner “Break the Bough” by Americana artist Yola; and the emotional speech by Best New Artist winner Dove Cameron, who is bisexual, in which she dedicated her award to the “queer community at large” and honored victims of this weekend’s shooting at LGBTQ+ Colorado nightspot Club Q.

The ceremony climaxed with Lionel Richie being presented with the lifetime-achievement Icon Award by Smokey Robinson, after which Stevie Wonder and Charlie Puth performed a Richie medley and were joined by Ari Lennox, Muni Long, Melissa Etheridge, Jimmie Allen, Yola, Robinson, and Richie himself for a sentimental performance of “We Are the World,” which Richie wrote in 1985 with the above-mentioned Jackson.

The night's big winner was Taylor Swift, who swept all six of her categories, including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year — thus breaking her own AMAs record and bringing her total wins tally to 40. For a full list of 2022 American Music Awards winners, click here.

WWE SmackDown Results: Winners, Grades, Reaction and Highlights from November 18

0 of 8

With Survivor Series: War Games just eight days away, and a united team of The Brawling Brutes and Drew McIntyre bearing down on them, The Bloodline found themselves reeling for the first time in what felt like an eternity to close out last week's show.

Friday night, the most dominant faction in professional wrestling sought to turn the tide back in its favor as Sami Zayn battled Butch in a SmackDown World Cup Quarterfinal match.

Was The Honorary Uce able to send a message to the Brutes on behalf of The Bloodline and remind them who they are dealing with or did the artist formerly known as Pete Dunne score a win that only further put Roman Reigns and his family on the defensive?

Find out with this recap of the November 18 episode of SmackDown.

The Brawling Brutes and Drew McIntyre kicked off the night's show, still riding high from their message-sending beatdown of The Bloodline on last week's show.

Sheamus called out the long, two-decade history between him and The Scottish Warrior but revealed that their issues have created mutual respect among them. So much so that McIntyre was his best man three weeks ago in New York.

Sami Zayn interrupted the proceedings, arrogantly dismissed the idea of a mystery fifth opponent, and built hype for his match with Butch later in the night.

This was perfectly fine promo work from all involved, with some nice continuity from the babyfaces.

Yes, Sheamus and McIntyre have a long history that includes an Old-Fashioned Donnybrook match on the pre-SummerSlam edition of SmackDown so it was a welcome addition to this show for the two of them to explain why they are suddenly close enough to go into battle together.

Zayn remained as great, and over, as ever and helped elevate the segment with his presence alone.

Top Moments

• "Is this thing on this time?" Sheamus said, motioning toward the microphone in response to last week's technical gaff.
• The babyfaces momentarily got a "brutey" chant going in response to the "ucey" chant that The Bloodline created as a result of Zayn's antics a few weeks back.
• "We don't really care who the fifth member is," Zayn said, interrupting the babyfaces and preventing the revelation of their Survivor Series: War Games team.
• "Ucey in the Sky with Diamonds," Zayn called himself in a great line.
• "It will be the last thing you expect," Sheamus forewarned Zayn, suggesting he be less arrogant about the identity of The Bloodline's fifth opponent.

SmackDown World Cup Quarterfinal: Ricochet vs. Mustafa Ali

On the heels of Monday's Raw, where he suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Bobby Lashley, Mustafa Ali sought to shake off the effects of the one-sided physicality and defeat Ricochet in the first round of the SmackDown World Cup.

Ali proved resilient, shaking off the crippling injuries to test his opponent. A late 450 splash, though, failed to hit its target as Ali crashed into the mat and drove the air out of himself. Ricochet capitalized and delivered a Shooting Star Press for the win.

This was a strong match with some superb storytelling by way of selling on the part of Ali. The entire thing was built around the idea that he had injured ribs that would adversely affect his ability to compete.

He threw everything he had at his opponent but unfortunately, one miscalculation further injured him and set him up for the finish. It was simple, effective storytelling elevated by Ali understanding the assignment and delivering a grade-A performance.

Ricochet winning sets him up to battle Braun Strowman in the semifinals and given The Monster Among Monster's recent comments about "floppy flop" wrestlers, that one is certainly all the more interesting than its babyface vs. babyface status.

Top Moments

• During a backstage confrontation, Ali insisted that if he was breathing, he was fighting and told Ricochet he would see him in the ring.
• Ali delivered a second-rope backstabber to Ricochet to seize control entering the break. In doing so, though, he further injured his ribs.
• Ricochet rolled through a plancha and countered into a Blue Thunder Drive on the arena floor.
• Ricochet delivered a Full Nelson suplex, followed with a lariat and standing moonsault for a great near-fall.

Madcap Moss vs. Karrion Kross

Three weeks after suffering a humiliating loss to Karrion Kross in which he was put to sleep in the Kross Jacket, Madcap Moss sought revenge against the former NXT world champion one-on-one.

For the second time in as many showdowns, he suffered the same fate.

Despite a strong showing from an intense Moss, Kross was able to lock in the Kross Jacket and force the submission win. After the match, Emma rushed the ring to check on the fallen babyface while Kross taunted from the floor.

This is a potentially beneficial program for both men.

Kross was thrown into an upper-card feud with Drew McIntyre before fans had the opportunity to really invest in him. Moss is a guy who has fallen by the wayside but not has the opportunity to benefit from feuding with a performer in Kross who management clearly sees a lot in.

Letting Kross develop his character on the main roster, and allowing Moss to rebuild momentum and credibility, is the perfect way to go about utilizing both guys in a manner that helps them establish themselves. Adding Emma and Scarlett to the mix for a potential tag team feud is an intriguing possibility, too.

• Prior to the match, Emma gave Moss a pep talk, adding to their budding romance storyline.
• Scarlett cut off a charging Moss, bringing a halt to his momentum.
• Emma hit the ring to check on Moss after the match and a staredown with Kross and Scarlett teased a potential mixed tag team match in the future.

Bray Wyatt Promo

Bray Wyatt made his way to the ring and, once again, waxed poetically about his personal journey to being a better man.

LA Knight interrupted his in-ring promo and claimed to accept Wyatt's apology before smacking him. A second smack unleashed a stoic stare on the face of the intensely angry Wyatt, who did not act on his desires to unleash pain and suffering on Knight, but whose Uncle Howdy persona flashed on the screen behind the NXT export to close out the segment.

The Wyatt-Knight feud may be the most unexpected pairing on WWE television but there are few choices better to torment, taunt and prod at Wyatt, thus unleashing his dark side and giving fans a look at the Eater of Worlds they knew before.

Before this aware, apologetic, forgiveness-seeking incarnation.

The match will be interesting, if only because of the difference in the dynamic of styles, but what fans are really interested in is the next chapter of the Wyatt story. Hopefully, it presents itself sooner rather than later.

Top Moments

• "Why do I do the things that I do and can I actually change?" Wyatt asked.
• "The rarest commodity around here is respect," LA Knight said, insinuating that he earned Wyatt's respect a week ago.
• "Now we're even. Apology accepted. I can go my way, you can go yours," Knight said after slapping Wyatt in the face. 
• "The decision you're about to make right now is going to change the rest of your life," Wyatt said before extending his hand to Knight, who slapped him again. 

Shotzi vs. Shayna Baszler (with Ronda Rousey)

6 of 8

On the heels of a No. 1 Contender's Match win a week ago, and a backstage attack that left her unconscious, Shotzi sought a measure of revenge against Shayna Baszler.

Accompanying The Submission Magician? SmackDown Women's champion Ronda Rousey, whom The Ballsy Badass will challenge in Boston at Survivor Series: War Games.

The match was interrupted frequently by outside interference, first from Rousey, then Raquel Rodriguez, who looked to prevent further interjections. The distractions caused by them allowed Shotzi to roll Baszler up for the win.

On the surface, Shotzi picking up a win is a big deal and furthers her momentum entering Survivor Series but she was, at any given point, the third or fourth most focused-on star in this segment.

That does not help her or the creative efforts to build her into a star and legitimate threat to Rousey. Unfortunately, this was a creative misfire, especially since Rodriguez ended up being the real deciding factor in this one.

Top Moments

• A mid-match confrontation between Shotzi and Rousey nearly provided just the distraction the former needed as Baszler nearly collided with her friend on the apron.
• Raquel Rodriguez appeared, providing another distraction, this one aiding her tag team partner. 

Braun Strowman and New Day vs. Imperium

After a backstage confrontation earlier in the show between New Day and Imperium led to the making of a Six-Man Tag Team Match for tonight, Braun Strowman joined Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods in the battle against GUNTHER, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci.

The heels isolated Woods until a hot tag from Strowman sparked a comeback for the babyfaces. He steamrolled Vinci and Kaiser and manhandled GUNTHER in a way that no one has since his arrival in WWE.

A brief tease of a showdown between those two competitors gave way to New Day putting Kaiser away with the Midnight Hour for the win.

The match was fine, but the idea that GUNTHER is afraid of Strowman is ridiculous. He is the Ring General, capable of match power, intensity and ferocity with anyone. If you want to tell the story of him being caught off-guard by the involvement of The Monster Among Monsters, fine, but to book him to look like a coward is asinine and only takes away from his aura.

So much was put on the potential showdown between them if Strowman manages to win the SmackDown World Cup that one has to wonder if the big man suddenly is a red herring, opening up the potential for someone else to emerge from the field victoriously.

Top Moments

• Gunther is every bit as tall as Strowman and the commentary team did not make enough of a deal about this.
• GUNTHER chopped the hell out of Strowman, then took off running around the squared circle in fear of the charging monster.
• As Woods pinned Kaiser, Strowman entered the ring, causing GUNTHER to retreat from the ring. 

SmackDown World Cup Quarterfinal: Butch vs. Sami Zayn

8 of 8

Credit: WWE.com

The Brawling Brutes earned more momentum at the expense of The Bloodline in Friday's main event as Butch defeated Sami Zayn to advance to the semifinals of the SmackDown World Cup tournament.

A distraction caused by Jey Uso and his brawl with Sheamus allowed Butch to catch Zayn with the Bitter End and score the pinfall victory.

After the match, Roman Reigns made his presence felt, entering the arena to a thunderous ovation before laying waste to The Brawling Brutes and Drew McIntyre.

Then, the reveal of the fifth member of the babyface team at Survivor Series: War Games as Kevin Owens entered to an enormous pop.

He uncorked a series of superkicks and left Reigns reeling to end the show.

This was great stuff all around.

The match itself was fun and everything else that followed was even better. The reaction for Reigns was incredible and Owens matched it, the crowd overwhelmingly enthusiastic about his involvement in the feud and the upcoming War Games match.

It remains to be seen how healthy Owens will be by November 26 but if he is even a fraction of 100 percent, one should probably expect another intense performance from the Prizefighter.

Top Moments

• Butch wiped out Jimmy Uso on the floor. 
• The brawl between Sheamus and Jey Uso spilled into the ring, then out of it. 
• Solo Sikoa wiped out Butch before engaging McIntyre in a brawl.
• Reigns made a STAR entrance, the likes of which are reserved for the absolute tippy-top guys in one's industry. The pop, the energy...unrivaled in the business today. Bar none for full-time competitors.
• Then Owens went and matched that pop.

Amazon Orders Multiple Marvel-Sony Shows, Beginning With ‘Silk: Spider Society’ From ‘Walking Dead’ Alum Angela Kang - Variety

Amazon is officially moving forward with multiple live-action shows based on the Marvel characters controlled by Sony, Variety has learned.

The first series under the deal will be “Silk: Spider Society,” which was developed by “The Walking Dead” showrunner Angela Kang along with “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Kang will serve as showrunner and executive producer on “Silk” as part of a new multi-year overall television deal she has signed with Amazon. Kang, Lord, and Miller all executive produce along with former Sony boss Amy Pascal. Sony Pictures Television is the studio, with Lord and Miller currently under an overall deal there.

“Silk: Spider Society” will debut domestically on MGM+’s (nee Epix) linear channel followed by a global launch on Prime Video. The show is based on characters created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos for Marvel Comics. It follows Cindy Moon, described as “a Korean-American woman bitten by the same spider that bit Peter Parker, as she escapes imprisonment and searches for her missing family on her way to becoming the superhero known as Silk.”

“Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Sony’s recent live-action and animated reimagining of the Spider-Man franchise has represented some of the most dynamic superhero storytelling in film,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios. “Together with Angela Kang’s creative vision, we couldn’t be more pleased to bring ‘Silk: Spider Society’ to our MGM+ and Prime Video customers.”

The “Silk” series and the other shows based on Sony-controlled Marvel characters were originally reported as being in the works back in September 2020. At that time, Lauren Moon was writing “Silk,” while it was reported in 2021 that Tom Spezialy had joined the series as showrunner as part of his own Amazon overall deal.

“We can’t wait to bring the adventures of Cindy Moon to life, thanks to the creative dream team of Chris and Phil, Angela and Amy, along with our partners at Marvel and Amazon,” said Katherine Pope, president of Sony Pictures Television Studios. “We know this exciting series with new and never-before-seen characters and storylines will wow audiences watching first on linear MGM+ and then around the world on Prime Video.”

“Angela is a pro’s pro whose perspective and creativity we greatly respect and admire,” added Lord and Miller. “She’s also a hell of a lot of fun. She loves these characters and we feel really lucky for the chance to work with her to bring Cindy Moon’s story to the world.”

Kang is best known for her work on “The Walking Dead.” She became a writer on the show in 2011 and co-executive producer in 2013. She was promoted to executive producer and showrunner in 2018 beginning with the hit AMC series’ ninth season. “The Walking Dead” is airing its series finale on Nov. 20, with Kang also co-creating a spinoff centered on Norman Reedus’ character, Daryl Dixon. She launched her own production company, Kang & Co Entertainment, in 2020. Jason Sax, formerly a consulting producer on “The Walking Dead,” serves as the company’s executive vice president of development. Kang & Co’s current development slate includes a series adaptation of the novel “Black Sun” with author Rebecaa Roanhorse writing, as well as an adaptation of the sci-fi novel “The Postmortal” by Drew Magary.

Kang is repped by UTA, Literate, and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole LLP.

“I’m beyond thrilled to be joining the Amazon Studios family for this next chapter of my career,” Kang said. “I look forward to working with the executive team on diverse, character-forward, watercooler shows for a global audience and am so excited to dive in to my first challenge—bringing Korean-American superhero Silk to life on screen.”

It is unknown at this time which other Marvel characters will be featured in the Amazon shows, though Sony currently controls over 900 such characters associated with the Spider-Man franchise.

Sony has released multiple Spider-Man live-action films in the past and currently works with Marvel Studios on the rebooted film franchise starring Tom Holland via Columbia Pictures. Sony is also behind “Into the Spider-Verse,” which won the Academy Award for best animated film in 2019. Two sequels to that film are currently in the works, with the first — “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” — due out in theaters in June 2023.

To date, Sony has also released the live-action films “Venom” and its sequel “Let There Be Carnage” starring Tom Hardy, as well as “Morbius” starring Jared Leto. A third “Venom” film is currently in development, while Sony is also at work on film versions of characters like “Kraven the Hunter” starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and “Madame Web” starring Dakota Johnson, among several others.
