The Amazing Spider-Man is a planned animated television series that is slated to air in early 2008 on Kids WB! on The CW.
A press release said that The Amazing Spider-Man was announced by Kids' WB! Senior Vice President and General Manager Betsy McGowen and Sony Pictures Television Co-President Zack Van Amburg in March 2007.
The new series is being produced by Culver Entertainment. The series will premiere on Kids' WB! on The CW, the No.1 rated Saturday morning kids broadcast slate.
Riding the crest of Sony's anticipated summer blockbuster Spider-Man 3, the new animated series picks up the original web-slinger's mythology at the beginning of his hero's journey, as a 16-year-old entering his junior year of high school. Having spent the summer engaging common criminals with his new-found powers, Peter Parker must conceal his secret identity while engaging a new level of terror - the multi-leveled pressures of teenage life at home and school while combating bigger, badder super-villains in the real world.
According to early news, the new series will not be in continuity with the 2007 motion picture Spider-Man 3.
