This ought to make Jenny very happy...
The Hollywood Reporter is saying that Sony Pictures Television will be bringing a new Spider-Man series directly to DVD, featuring 13 half-hour animated episodes some time next year, probably timed just right to coincide with Spider-Man 3's release.
This is all part of Sony's scheme to reach the consumer in new ways, although perhaps they were also a little influenced by the success of Marvel's direct-to-DVD Ultimate Avengers (which I reviewed for you here), which sold well enough to warrant a sequel.
There's no word on who will be doing the animation, other than the fact that Culver Studios, newly created for the venture, will be producing the show. They also mention that the budget will be similar to the money spent of the last Spider-Man animated series produced for MTV.
