Amazon MGM Nears Order for Clone Saga Series

Amazon MGM is nearing an order for a Prime Video series inspired by Marvel’s 1990s Clone Saga, with Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker at its center, according to reports relaying information from people familiar with the project. The reports do not establish that the series has been formally ordered, and no official confirmation from Amazon MGM or Sony is included in the available information. Kelvin Yu is reported to be writing the series. Amy Pascal, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are expected to executive produce alongside him. The project is associated with Sony’s Spider-Man television partnership with Amazon MGM and is intended for Prime Video, though its production status remains short of a confirmed order. The reported premise is unsettled. One account of the project has Ben and Kaine discovering that they are clones and facing other clones. A separate version suggests their origins could be changed so they are not clones at all, potentially giving them different identities. The reports do not resolve which approach, if either, the series will use.
