In October 2014, it was announced that the series would be adapted by ABC for USA television. In March 2014, it was announced there will be a radio spin-off following the lives of the clerks of Shoe Lane Chambers. But it will very much depend on how people react to it". "It’s a courtroom drama so it could go on and on and there is a whole echelon of stuff we could go into but it will be interesting to see what people make of this series because the way it is left, we as a cast aren’t sure whether it’s been written as, 'This is it', or whether it’s got more to come because it feels like everyone gets blasted in different directions at the end of this series, so maybe the writer has thrown a grenade in and blown the whole show up. Silk ended with series 3 because creator Moffat and lead actress, Maxine Peake, were keen to end at a high point. In series 3, Miranda Raison joins the show as Harriet Hammond who is a thorn in the side of Billy, as well as a confidante, supporter, and potential love interest for Clive Reader. The chambers' senior clerk, Billy Lamb ( Neil Stuke), also features heavily in the series. He however becomes a QC in the opening episode of Series 3. Martha achieves her ambition at the end of Series One, leaving Clive disappointed. The series' focuses on Martha Costello ( Maxine Peake) and her ambition to become Queen's Counsel as well as on her rival, Clive Reader ( Rupert Penry-Jones). Silk follows barristers from a set of criminal law chambers in London. The series' title is a colloquial reference to someone who has attained the status of King's Counsel (QC or KC dependent on the current reigning monarch,) which entitles the person to wear a certain design of gown in court, which is usually made of silk. The extreme pressure, the hard choices, the ethical dilemmas, the overlap between the personal and the professional, principles fought for and principles sacrificed, the Machiavellian politics, the sex, the drinking, the whole story-life at the bar is the richest possible drama territory." In an interview with The Guardian, he said "I want to tell it as it really is. It is based on Moffat's experiences at the Bar. Silk was commissioned by Jay Hunt, then-Controller of BBC One and Ben Stephenson, BBC Controller of Drama Commissioning, and started filming in July 2010. From my experience at the Bar, I felt life in chambers had all of those components, with big stories and lots of courtroom drama-but I wanted to make it as much about barristers and their life in chambers as about the trials".
