After cancelled Spider-Man spin-off series, former The Walking Dead showrunner returns to TV with psychological thriller novel adaptation for Amazon

After the cancellation of Sony's Spider-Man Universe series Silk Society, Angela Kang is making her return to TV with Never to Be Found, a soon-to-be-released psychological thriller novel.

Per Variety, the upcoming TV series is a "psychological thriller that weaves together themes of disappearance, identity, obsession, and the long shadow of trauma." The novel itself, penned by Jo Spain, alternates "between present-day Brighton/York and flashbacks to Japan and London, following protagonist Veronica Page as she becomes entangled with a suspected murderer while confronting her own painful past."

Kang became a writer for The Walking Dead season 2 before receiving a producer credit for season 3, becoming co-executive producer for season 5, and ultimately serving as showrunner for seasons 9 through 11. She was set to serve as showrunner for the Daryl Dixon spin-off, but exited due to creative differences and instead signed on to showrun Silk Society. After Kraven the Hunter ended up being a critical and financial failure, however, Sony cancelled all further SSU projects, including Silk Society. But, Sony is planning to reboot its extended Spider-Man Universe (meaning Silk Society could always make a comeback).

Kang is also set to serve as the headwriter for Katabasis, a TV series adaptation of a bestselling fantasy novel, as part of her multi-year deal with Amazon.
